The Xiaomi Mi A3 is here to take over from the standards set by the Mi A2. The new kid on the block has all the possible upgrades we could think of, but it falls short in some. For instance, its chipset is not that much of an upgrade, nor is the screen. The display, which is luckily an OLED type is capped at HD+, a downgrade from the Mi A1 and A2’s 1080p panels. Xiaomi thought it is wise to sneak the headphone socket back that was missing in the A2, and adds 2019 necessities like an in-display fingerprint scanner. Here are the rest of the specifications:
