Or you can lower your expectations. Also, if you want official updates and don't want to rely on custom roms, you need to get Android One or Pixel phones. Moto isn't dependable after the $hit they tried to pull with Oreo on G4+, Xiaomi will always lag 1-2 years behind on android version (and the horrible MIUI), samdung phones don't get proper hardware, forget about getting proper updates. I can go on and on about this for other OEMs but I think you get my point.

Xiaomi Mi A1 is good for 15k Camera is decent in low light but it runs pure android which will benefit you in your android app development

Why can't you use just a virtual device to test your apps ?

Virtual device doesn't support SMS,Bluetooth , WIFI etc. An App must be tested in real life situations .

Will you please compare Xiaomi Mi A1 and Mi Max 2?

 

[meetdilip]

If you want updates, MiA1 is the better choice. Google will support updates since it's an Android One phone.

 

[Nerevarine]

You do not need a completely stock device to make apps, even a custom rom like Lineage can provide you with an environment to test apps. Get a phone with good dev support, dont rely on Google to hand out updates to you. There is really no saying for how long Google will support the MiA1, however you can be assured that the community will provide you with updates even if google does not.
As long as the OS is stable without any crashses, you need not worry about app development

Go for MiA1, best budget under in 15k
