Xiaomi has officially confirmed that it will no longer release handsets running Android One, which in turn means that there won't be Mi A4. There's no specific reason for the discontinuation of the lineup but our educated guess would be the issues Xiaomi was facing with the software when providing updates to these phones. They were often late even though the Android One program is all about swift updates and longer support.

Xiaomi Mi A4 not coming as Android One program gets the axe.

Bros I am willing to buy Chinese brand smartphone in these sale shopping days. But if those brands have banned apps preinstalled in it is there be any security concerns for me ? And rather if I uninstall those apps manually after buying there will still be any security concerns for me? Please help me choose wisely.

Very likely.

And rather if I uninstall those apps manually after buying there will still be any security concerns for me?

Depends on how the manufacturer has made the Android software for the phone. Also depends on whether the manufacturer allows uninstalling apps or not.

If security is the concern. Buy Motorola, Asus and OnePlus phones. These doesn't have unknown alien apps.

You can't.
And you can't even import Meizu smartphones using Ali Express, Gearbest, Bangood, etc.

I also had a look at all the websites and Meizu smartphones are not deliverable to India. Any issues for them in India..?

Lol, just for fun sake check the user reviews of new Huawei phones. It's hilarious.

How can they even think about selling phones without Google Play Service in a non Chinese country?
