Xiaomi Mi A3 Review

Design is the best part of the Mi A3. It is eye-catching with all that bling-bling finish and yet, it is subtle enough to look classy.

The Xiaomi Mi A3 uses Gorilla Glass 5 support not just on the back panel and over the display but also on the camera lenses which adds to the overall appeal and finish of the phone.

Storage
This Xiaomi device also boasts of its storage capacity. The device has 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage which is quite a lot of space compared to other android devices which normally have 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage.
The device’s space is quite large for general storage but it doesn’t work for you, you can add up more space by getting a MicroSD card with up to 256GB.
Battery
Xiaomi Mi A3 has a 4030 mAH non-removable Li-Po battery and supports 18W Quick Charge. You are only provided with a 10W charger so you’ll have to buy the 18W charger separately.
The device gives you more than a day of battery life after a single charge.
Performance
The smartphone is powered by the Snapdragon 665 chipset. It’s a relatively new chip from mid-2019, and it’s available in few smartphones, one of which is the Xiaomi Mi A3.
So, the new Snapdragon 665 chip is based on the more efficient 11nm manufacturing process compared to the 14nm Snapdragon 660. It has the same processor as the S660 – an octa-core Kryo 260 CPU with 4×2.0 GHz Kryo 260 Gold (Cortex-A73 derivative) & 4×1.8 GHz Kryo 260 Silver (Cortex-A53 derivative).
Well, almost the same – the high-performance Kryo cores are actually clocked 200MHz lower than the same on the Mi A2’s S660.
The Mi A3 is plenty fast and delivers about the same performance as its price bracket peers. It is a very dependable performer thanks to its Snapdragon 665 chip and that HD screen. It’s as great for gaming as it is for daily operations and browsing social media.
