Impressions

I think the Mi A1 can be a good phone to buy in this festive season. It packs all the necessary features between the given price point. If I were to buy a budget smartphone for around 30,000 this festive season I would definitely wait for this to come to the Nepal and give it a good look before buying any other smartphone. So, what do you think of the Xiaomi Mi A1? Will you wait for this phone or will you go for other smartphones available in the market?
