Mi A3, the successor of A2 is officially here. There are 2 versions available: 4+64 for RM899 and 4+128 for RM999. It would be fun to compare A3 to 9T or Redmi Note 7, let's discuss


The selling points of A3 would be:
1. Android one ensures fast updates of Android
2. 6.01 inch considered compact phone with 4030mAh battery
3. 32MP front camera good for selfie lover

Mid range phone

Why not sd730 ?

that cpu tho

sd665

Damn notch. Will buy A2 instead. Need something to replace my Keyone.

The specs is very underwhelming.
Cant compete with mi9t.

I think they will sell at rm999. Betwee mi 9t and redmi note 7.

Yeah, append the RN7 also, beware this price is not official price

I think the image used is the cc9 and not cc9e

I believe the bottom notch of the mi a3 will be bigger than that

Here comes the Pixel 3"A"ffordable killer... Me not interested though... LOL...

Xiaomi, you can do better next year...

very disappointed with the notch
very very disappointed with sd665

got OIS or not?

The A2 has the slow storage bug which makes it unusable at times. And it doesn't have a headphone jack or sdcard slot.
The Mi A3 fixes those issues and comes with a in-display fp scanner and better amoled screen.

if really selling at RM1,098, better go for mi 9t

Damn. Have to stick with Keyone for another 2 months.

SD665 is meh, 9t has 730

does mi a3 has ufs 2.1? if still use ancient emmc and want to sell price at rm1k, they can close shop

Here comes the official announcemeent of A3 ....two days later. There should have Pro version with more powerful CPU

https://m.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_a3_announc...-news-38127.php

So there'll be 2 versions instead of 1 version? I hope the 665 is reserved for the lite version instead

this price?

OIS? hahaha not even mi9T

malaysia famous for release lowest spec only

True same as mi stores never bring in high spec

To get your attention they'll need to put a 5000mAh battery minimum

Too bad... No more >5K mAh energy supply from Xiaomi...

?? Spain is not China. If Europe is getting 2 phones, Malaysia will definitely get both phones (A3+A3pro).

already got bad record liao mi malaysia

u still belip them ka

Last year Mi A2 and Mi A2 Lite got release. even high spec 128 GB got release.

Only the higher end series we get low spec.

Looking forward to Mi A3 spec.

A3 SD665 --> A2 SD660

Just like they claimed.

FYI, 660 is around same performance as 710. So 665 should be around same as 730. In either case, most people does not really care because 665 is enough as a mid ranger that have no problem handling facebook, instagram, whatsapp and so on. Even games will run fine on it.

I think Xiaomi need to keep their cost down so that the phone will be cheaper. Cause competition is getting intense in the midrange segment.

Based on specs, SD665 is actually 200MHz slower compared to SD660, it seems like Qualcomm wants to make it new entry midrange CPU but don't want to kill SD660..

https://bm.soyacincau.com/2019/07/16/xiaomi-mi-a3-spec/

plan to get this device but the HD+ display.

HD+ seem like downgrade from MiA2. Very disappointed. Better get refurbished google pixel 2XL.

Aiyo, the HD resolution really kill the A3 that costs around RM1k

Isn't hd+ 1080p?

Hd+ is between 720p and 1080p

That sucks, Mia2 lite last year had a 1080p screen

That's ap set so the price is high.

Let's see how much official Mi set will be priced

Same info from soyacincau.

https://www.soyacincau.com/2019/07/17/xiaom...-hardware-spec/

I've never considered a No Max before simply because it's just too big and clumsy

I'll only consider trying it if it's below RM1k.

no, 665 is lowest score cpu in mid range world

It will be announced tonight in Spain, 9pm~...

The leak so far, very disappointing.

Damn it, that's a downgrade. First time I see such a thing that Qualcomm is doing. 665 <-- 660. WTF?

I'm not sure how this phone is gonna sell.

It's confirmed, SD665.

Its like they are trying to downgrade the Android One phone & makes user choose their MiUI model.

Hopefully there will be Mi A3 Pro.

https://m.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_a3_unveile...-news-38177.php

Well, it's official...the price range is too near to Mi 9T and specs are much worse...

Holyshit did I see a typo or real? 720p+ display?!

Better buy Pixel 2XL

not surprising since they based on cc9e(got 720p also)

but low power s665 plus 720p and amoled with 4000+mah battery seems like recipe for long sot.

No doubt this phone will last 2 days even on heavy usage.

But 720p+, that's a instant no buy for me, and I'll never recommend this phone to anyone.

Mi 9T is a much better phone.

I think I'll stick with Nokia 3310 if I need long battery life

Really disappointed with it...

720p is a joke. can close shop ald.
just like last year mi a2 with a stupid 3000mah battery.

Maybe i am the one interested in this phone...

720p gaming it will be super less lag...

Android one

I just neeed to know whether this phone can catch signal well or not...

I think if Xiaomi release the A3 with SD720, full HD screen, the Mi9T sales will suffer.

Xiaomi know what they are doing. They can't make much profit with Android One OS, but MIUI they can because of the built in ads.

So A3 will only cater to those who don't care about the high specs.

Is like they release this phone to make Mi 9T looks good.

I think they released too many models... so it is easy to cannibalize their own sales. (eg 9T vs 9SE)

Really? You can get a lot of other better phones with this kind of price.

Just wait for official Malaysia pricing , to see if it's worth the money.

But I do not know why, I am attracted to this phone. 😂

should be cheaper than mi 9T right? maybe 899 to 1099

Hopefully. I have a feeling xiaomi Malaysia is gonna place it below 800. Lol.

Let's just wait till 31st July

possible too since here price always cheaper

A3 First Look from Frankie Tech

Very like, maybe RM799 or RM899?

Hopefully it's 799, it's just 4/64.

899 would be touching note 7 price range already.

with that price, maybe can consider for my parent. FHD sufficient for them already, since it is android one. hope it can last for 2days before charge

Yes. Stock Android is well suited for elderly. No complicate settings, straight foward UI, very easy to use.

My mom is using Mi A1 and she loved it.

Not FHD but HD+ with resolution 720 x 1560. But good enough.

opps, mentioned wrongly. HD+ it is

Satu Gadget got offer A3 at RM879 for 4+64 version

did i see wrongly?

No, you didn't see it wrongly. That is the price they put when they are just setting up the product page. It will be changed once sales is open.

Mobile 2 Go just lower the A3 to RM898, cheaper by RM200 to match Satu Gadget. Hope nobody pre order the unit from them...

This phone can last for 3 years (the least) ...

With this price, better off buying a Pocophone F1

Yeah, a lower res screen definitely does wonders for battery life, as we also seen on the iPhone XR

don't think u can buy new Poco f1 at rm879 (might be lower if official set comes)

Anyone here bought this phone?

any chances mi malaysia will bring local set coming in?

they will launch at 31 july

According to them, will announce 31st July. Let see the pricing. If RM799 then good buy ady.

Cannot get over hd+

if 799, i might consider getting this to replace my 9SE

the headphone jack, 4000mah and memory card slot is what i need

LOL, then why get it in the first place?

If Europe is selling for ~RM1150, then it won't get that low here. Should be RM999.

Maybe best case scenario during promo will be RM899. Very highly unlikely to go for RM799.

global version sell for rm859 , i predict it would be similar for Malaysia set

I think the A50 is selling for around rm900 on lazada which makes it a hard sell for the Mi A3 and other Xiaomi phones at that price range.

I change phones very often. So no rasa la

This is A3 right? Already on sale in Mi Store..

Yeah, update the front page with official price and remove parallel importer...

How the display? Saw at shopee 128gb version for rm899. Current phone is MiA1. Planning to buy new phone less than 1k.

Hmm, do consider Mi 9T instead.

Mi A1 to Mi A3 is not an upgrade for me.

https://www.lowyat.net/2019/190770/xiaomi-m...zuK9arhIM4werJ0

Prefer Android One device. MiUI is full of bloatware & useless app/feature.

Overpriced for the specs, considering what's on offer from other rival makers.

for now its the 'cheapest ' stock Android device with amoled under fingerprint display

From that point of view, then yes

Waiting for sales to tank so that xiaomi launch cc9 as a3 pro...
