Just hoping it makes other here (London) by the weekend as it's my son's birthday present!

I ordered initially from eglobal but the courier lost it in their depot. Ordered from geekbuying the second time and I got it in 4 days from European stock.

£146 on eglobal ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Xiaomi-Mi-A1-Dual-Sim-64GB-4G-LTE-UNLOCKED-Black-International-Version/122809799537?&clk_rvr_id=1465712617382&rmvSB=true

Only shipping to Portugal and UK - not including Northern Ireland. So you'd have to use Address Pal (AnPost)

Two weeks using the phone and it has surpassed my expectations massively.
Screen looks bright, clear, and sharp.
The phone is very snappy flicking between apps.
Battery lasts for two days with alot of use, I went away for a night and didn't even bring a charger I was that confident.
Build quality is great, I still haven't picked up a cover, I'll need one soon as it can be a bit slippy in one hand.
Day time pictures look great, night time pictures could be better but are passable, I'm going to install the Google camera app when I get time as it's meant to be a big improvement.

100% recommend.

Just got mine today(frm geekbuying, ordered Saturday). Brilliant so far.
One thing though. Im on Three and popped in my sim card, all grand but its showing the data network as 3g instead of 4g. Anyone else have this?

What version is it?

Its fine now actually. I installed the android 8 update and im on 4g.

Its a lovely phone. Very responsive, clean UI,great quality feel.

My wife is selling her Mi A1 on adverts.

Its only 3 months old and has been in a case since day one if anyone is looking for one.

Based in Dublin.

So, I've noticed there appears to be a February update available to install. How are you all getting on with Oreo and particularly the latest update? I'm still running Nougat as I was slow to update in case there were any issues but thinking of biting the bullet so to speak.

Oreo has been fine for me no issues at all. The Feb update is just a security patch

Is Geekbuying the best place to buy from and does it come with 3 pin plug. Might take a chance with this phone.

They are one of the best. You get an adapter included.
Its the best phone there is at the price point IMO

^ There's also 30 euro price difference depending on where it's shipped from, where is the best place to have it shipped from?

Hong Kong option is cheapest but you run the risk of being hit for VAT and customs duty

I bought one about 6 weeks ago from the solution shop and they were poor enough to deal with .I'm now waiting on delivery of another one from eglobal and they are no better . Only the phone is so good for the price I wouldn't put myself through the stress of dealing with them .CS is non existent .

Geekbuying I recommend. Ordered Thursday from Germany, delivered Monday morning by UPS. Cant beat that.

+1 to this

The irony is that I ordered a cover from the UK on the same day, last Friday, as I ordered the phone from geekbuying and the phone came on Monday but still waiting for the cover.
