Xiaomi Mi A1 it is the luckiest device of the A series, we can tell. Unlike the other two models A2 and A3 this one did not see any petitions either did not need any imminent stops in the rollout of updates. Probably Xiaomi's policy towards devices with Android One will change given the lack of success, but this does not mean that the devices released will be thrown away. In fact, thanks to the world of modding, Android 11 returns (better returns) on the first of the smartphones of the series and with amazing performances.

AGAINST
Unfortunately the crDroid with Android 11 it does not carry Google applications with it. A not indifferent mole which, however, could also represent a turning point: a lightened operating system of GApps it cannot be said that it does not turn beautifully, on the contrary. However, you can choose to install the ones you need. Another small drawback is that of camera: since the GCam is not integrated, focusing problems have been encountered.
PRO
As for the points in favor of this ROM, undoubtedly theautonomy. It comes up to 4 days of autonomy without the need to recharge the device. Also, thanks to the app AudioFX which is entered by default, smartphone audio makes a quantum leap. Furthermore, the customization of this ROM is on a completely different level compared to the previous POSP we have seen. It is possible to customize both the main interface and also the boot animation.
