Some questions before buying:

[SnoopDoggyStyleDogg]

Hi! I want to buy the phone next month and I would like to know some things about it:

1: I know this is a new phone and there is no custom ROMs but you can root it and install TWRP?

2: I see that you can update it to 8.0. Should I update it after or I should stay with 7.1?

3: How is the battery? How much up time you get?

4: How is the performance? How old is your phone and how is the performance after you use it for a while?

5: How good is the camera?

So I should get this phone if I want to have a good balance between performance and camera quality?

Before posting this, you could've checked the other threads for the Mi A1. Also many reviews to be found everywhere.

1. Yes, I'm rooted but have not yet install twrp since I have to be unrooted for that
2. I didn't see any 8.0 update yet
3. Very good, for me last whole day heavy use without gaming, almost 6h sot
4. I've got it few days so cannot say, it's still new so no one can tell yet
5. Camera generally ok, in daylight very good, low light only if you are patient and have steady hands, otherwise there is Google HDR+ camera port, with it the photos are excellent.

Btw, most of the question are covered in various topics.

Obviously. I got it from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/themes/google-camera-hdr-t3655215, there are many versions of it, so you must take your time and play with various versions and see which fit's you best.

Thanks! Well i'm too lazy to search in every post from that topic and I wanted a quick answer. Oh, it says in the gsmarea site that 8.0 is planned so I think it will come soon. Or maybe there is and because you are rooted you can't see the update idk. Anyway thanks again for answers

Yes it's planned b the end of the year. And no, there isn't yet, and because I'm rooted I can still see updates (like today's october update)

No fc when starting apk. Did you enable camera2 api ?

You have to be rooted so you can add the following in the build.prop file-
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
Restart your device and it will work.

BTW, once rooted, you can use ES File explorer to go to /system where the build.prop file is located.
