Xiaomi Mi A3 Specifications

Similar to previous iterations, Xiaomi Mi A3’s USP is that it is running Android One. In order words, the device pretty much looks like a Google Pixel device. It will get faster Android updates and support from Google. At the time of launch, it is running on Android 9 Pie but it will get Android 10 Q post its release.

Xiaomi Mi A3 has a 6.1″ OLED screen with a drop notch at the top. It runs on Qualcomm Snapdragon 665. Apart from this, there are three major upgrades from the last year’s model — camera, battery, and a new fingerprint sensor.

The new Xiaomi Mi A3 comes with whopping 4,030mAh battery, up from 3000mAh form Mi A2. Then we have an in-display fingerprint sensor, unlike the capacitive fingerprint sensor mounted on the previous generations.

The biggest update in the device is the camera. It features a triple camera setup — a Sony IMX586 48MP primary lens, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle, and a 2MP depth sensor.

Additionally, the camera module can record 2160p video at 30fps or 1080p video quality up to 120fps. On the front, the device holds a 32MP camera setup.

However, there is one major downgrade in Xiaomi Mi A3 from the last generation. While the Xiaomi A3 holds an AMOLED display, it only offers a resolution 720p resolution (720×1,560). Xiaomi Mi A2 and Mi A2 Lite, both have LCD screens but they offer full HD+ display.

Given the tough competition, compromising on the screen can be seen as a heavy blow to the Mi A3 sales.
