the size of the phone quite the same
honor 8 145.5 x 71 x 7.5 mm (5.73 x 2.80 x 0.30 in) vs mi a3 153.5 x 71.9 x 8.5 mm (6.04 x 2.83 x 0.33 in)
quite decent upgrade i guess.
you can test the phone first at the shop or watch review on youtube.
if playing social media and internet browsing is more than enough i think.
quite the same usage like me. no problem so far.

Finally got Android 10 update

hope it will continue update to android 11.
xiaomi quite slow to update android one nowadays.
not forget many bug also.

got security update for May.
camera shutter for 32s pro mode is fix.
new update seems like fix many bug.

Guys, my mi A3 screen is a little faulty due to dropping it in the toilet bowl during shower, now my question is how do i claim the warranty? and if toilet bowl as an excuse wont work, mind sharing what should i tell them to claim the warranty? thanks !

usually phone have water damage indicator.
if the sticker get wet it will change color.

btw got new update yesterday.
security patches for june.
feel like the phone smooth than before.

got new update for dual sim bug fix.
just use 1 sim only for the phone. other slot is mc.

new update

Did you manage to get it fixed?

Recently I accidently dropped mine and the screen increasingly became unreadable. I went to the SC and was told that although the screen protector was intact but the original screen actually cracked a bit. As I no longer could claim warranty, the SC quoted the cost to replace the LCD screen at RM300.

Anyone knows where it is cheaper to replace the LCD screen?

That’s the problem with cheap phone+AMOLED display.

When the screen broke, replacement gonna cost as much as a new phone...

Though I did came across parts at RM100ish at shopee, may be can attempt to fix it yourself.

is the new update good?

You mean the August security update?

Nothing extraordinary. Though the last few updates had been generally more stable than that when Android 10's first released back in March or so.

ya the august one. yeah just security update only.
nothing much.
hope android 11 will come

mi a4 is dead as xiaomi abandon android one, mi a3 the last of xiaomi android phone

still using mine, its good but what im gonna buy next..android one the reason i buy A series

yup. rip mi A series.
maybe can buy poco lineup.
flash custom?

Yeah, really such a shame that Xiaomi abandon Android one program, I do really hope they will reconsider this action as I feel that there is still market for Android one users

any guess when A3 will get Android 11? or will it get it at all

yes mi a3 will get android 11 but no ETA when will we get it.

Planning to get Android One phone, are Mi A3 still relevant?

For Android 10, did it come with Android Auto?

Android 10 on it is still unpolished and hiccups here or there.

Can only pray hard that Xiaomi can give a more refined Android11 in future.
