On MiA3, u notice the auto brightness is quite slow? And seriously xiaomi why no always on display / always on ambient display for notification. Its the freaking reason i buy amoled phone.

It was impulse buy since phone rosak and no phone. Walk into xiaomi store, love the small form factor (by today standard) and amoled for rm899. Screen is fine, till I put side by side with wife a50, then notice the pixelation. But still love it.

Edit: and the ir blaster, didnt expect that.

iPhone 8 is still a relatively modern phone with good camera so Im guessing maybe your standard is a little higher than mine.
Yeap, the auto brightness is quite weak. Even at full brightness the screen just isn't bright enough, even my note 4 is a lot brighter albeit not being an AMOLED.

Agreed on the ambient display, and there's no way for you to double tap to wake the phone from sleep or enter camera mode without unlocking the phone (you can do it with 2 clicks of power button but it's just additional wear and tear of hardware).

Small form factor is one of the reason I chose it, most of today's phone is so big and uncomfortable to fit into pocket. I do notice that it is quite a dense feeling phone, even heavier than my previous note 4.

But this camera sensor is used in pretty much all mid-high end phones launched in the past 1.5 years. So I have some high expectations for it prior to getting it.

It’s cause MIUI is in control with the high brightness mode, thus AndroidONE don’t have it.

Let’s wait till next (or hopefully further future) version of AndroidONE and see if it will have high brightness mode integrated into it.

It’s good, but don’t worth over RM700 I would say.

I bought mine AP for RM547.

Pixelation not really a major problem for me though as I’m used to the PPI of IP8 and viewing distance of >20cm.

Where to buy AP set Mi A3 for RM547
