Overview
The original 2011 Mi One combines MIUI, dual-core 1.5 GHz MSM8260, 1 GB RAM and a configurable Mi key. Its 4-inch display, replaceable battery and microSD slot reflect early Android enthusiast hardware.
Period and variants
Announced on 16 August 2011 with Android 2.3.5-based MIUI, it had reservation and October production plans rather than one verified sale day. August engineering software needed later firmware for the proposed dual-system arrangement.
The original GSM/WCDMA model excludes subsequent carrier, Youth and 1S variants. It has no front camera. Removing the battery exposes the SIM. Nominal flash and RAM remain separate.
Launch sources give 149 g. Reviews quote 1930 mAh, also printing 1880/1930 without defining the ratings. The 720p entry describes engineering software. Promotional endurance is not measured everyday runtime. The photographed apps do not identify launch firmware.
