Xiaomi Mi A3 with improved design, camera launched in India: Price, specifications, features

Xiaomi on Wednesday announced the launch of its third-generation Android One smartphone, Mi A3. Xiaomi Mi A3 comes in following colour options: More than White, Kind of Grey, and Not just Blue.

Xiaomi Mi A3 4GB variant will be available for ₹12,999 while the 6GB RAM variant will cost ₹15,999. The sale will begin on August 23 via Amazon.in, Mi.com and Mi Home stores. The company also announced an introductory offer where users can get ₹750 cashback on credit cards.

Xiaomi Mi A3 is a big improvement over the predecessor in terms of design. Unlike Mi A2 metal unibody design, Mi A3 comes with a curved glass back panel. The front has also changed from 18:9 screen to 19:9 aspect ratio with a waterdrop notch on the front. The rear panel doesn't have a dedicated fingerprint slot as the sensor has now been moved under the screen - similar to OnePlus 7 and Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro.

Xiaomi Mi A3 also brings back 3.5mm headphone jack, a key feature missing in Mi A2. Users can expect a better camera experience as Mi A3 offers a 48-megapixel camera.
