[Q] Is it worth upgrade from Oneplus One to A1?

[soralz]

Hi, I have been using my OPO for almost 3 years now. And currently I am looking forward to switch to other device. My OPO really served me well, but seeing all this type C, dual camera gimmick makes my OPO looks old and not to mention the battery is aging. So I need some opinion from you guys. Is there any severe issue (or manufacturing issue) with this phone?

to me type c, dual camera gimmick isn't worth the upgrade. Also mi a1 does have its limitations like no nfc, mid range cpu and surprisingly no direct boot support. Prices in India does prove mi a1 a good choice given its expected to receive updates upto android P. If I haven't messed up my nexus 4 touchscreen (also no lte ) i would have waited for oreo based devices.
Given one plus one custom rom support i would recommend to wait for some time.

I'm coming from a Oneplus 3 and i'm going to switch to the Xiaomi mi a1. Or u wait a bit and buy this one: http://www.gizchina.com/2017/10/19/xiaomi-redmi-note-5-redmi-5-plus-might-hit-markets-november-11/

OPO3 to A1 is definitely a downgrade thou. Because now OP5 is pretty much at premium price which I can't afford anymore so I am looking at the A1. But after some quick searches, there is some problem with the display and headphone jack hissing problem right?

the hissing problem isnt tht bad mate you only hear when the sound stops for a second but the multitouch sensitivity is the worst issue for me

It depends on what screen u have as there are 2 different panels used. For the headphone problem, IDK

I have no hissing problem and the touch screen issues are only mild

I was in the same boat few days back. And I made the switch from Oneplus one to Mi A1. I would say I'm pretty happy with my decision. OPO battery was dying and I was tried to manually flashing updates every now and then. Mi A1 is working as it should and I am satisfied with it. Portrait mode in day light is a big plus and a reason to get A1.

I see, then do you face those 2 problem described? Headset hissing sound display lag? Try with a small headsets, no headphone those big one.

Honestly, I don't get any display issues. Probably because I don't play games which requires multitouch.
About hissing sound, I don't get it on apple earphones.
With boAt 225 bassheads I get it but only when I get a notification while listening to music, not otherwise. So it's not a deal breaker for me.

Also switched from OPO and it is totally worth it!
It is better in any way. Screen, camera, battery life, sound quality and responsiveness.
I didn't realize how much the OPO was struggling to run Nougat until now.

I switched last week from 1+1(LineageOS) to A1. It seems as fast as 1+1 on daily use. Battery is awesome. Camera is pretty much the same, i'm not sure which is better. And finally all small bugs from lineageos are gone.
