Customize Xiaomi Mi A1 Camera Watermark with Magisk

Xiaomi is the Chinese smartphone manufacturer which has been having a very successful period in the international markets from the past couple of years. Talking about the company’s success, Xiaomi has been focusing mainly on India which has now become the go-to market for smartphone launches for the company. Xiaomi launched one of the most anticipated smartphones from last year in India which was also termed as the Global launch of this smartphone and this was named as the Xiaomi Mi A1. The most interesting feature about the Xiaomi Mi A1 is that the phone runs on stock Android due to Android One support.

As far as Xiaomi is concerned, this is the first time that a Xiaomi phone was launched without MIUI and it is also the first Android One smartphone from the company. As far as the Xiaomi Mi A1 is concerned, the smartphone also had a dual camera setup and a premium build similar to the OnePlus 5 and iPhone 7. Now, it is known that the Xiaomi Mi A1 has the best camera on any smartphone from Xiaomi until the Redmi Note 5 Pro.

Also, the smartphone has a Camera Watermark feature inside its application which lets the users opt for the watermark so that the images can be identified as being Shot on the Xiaomi Mi A1. Now, these watermark feature of the Xiaomi Mi A1 is extremely limited as it only shows the pre-configured text from Xiaomi all the time.
