Xiaomi Mi A3 Unveiled With Snapdragon 665 & Triple Rear Cameras

Xiaomi finally announced its Xiaomi Mi A3 in Spain. The handset is pretty much the global model of the Xiaomi Mi CC9e that launched in China recently. And because of that, the Xiaomi Mi A3 carries the same design and specifications as the Xiaomi Mi CC9e, except for the operating software. As the Mi CC9e is launched in the Chinese market, it runs on Xiaomi’s MIUI 10 which is based on Android 9.0 Pie. Meanwhile, the Xiaomi Mi A3 is a part of Google’s Android One, so it ships with stock Android 9 Pie. The handset also has significant upgrades over its predecessor Mi A2 and is the first phone in the series to come with a dewdrop notch display, on-screen fingerprint reader, and triple rear cameras.

The handset is priced at €249 (around Rs. 19,250) in Spain for the base option with 4GB RAM + 64GB storage. You can also get the variant with higher storage (128GB) for €279 (around Rs. 21,550). It is said to go on sale in the country soon as well as a few markets after that.
