I was wondering the same as I am considering buying a Mi A1....I love MIUI and would like it on the A1...but then why not just buy a Mi 5X ...I also wonder does the A1 use MiCloud and Mi Account info ? Obviously the bootloader is locked....My concern is the A1 being a strictly Google phone how does Xiaomi play into it ? ....
P.S. How do you like the A1 ? Can you provide some input please?
