The phone features a 6.088 inch HD+ (1560 x 720 pixel) resolution, 283ppi Super AMOLED display with a 60 Hz refresh rate,[2] a glass and plastic body, with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection on its front as well as its back.

Software

[edit]

The Xiaomi Mi A3 is part of the Android One program, where software updates are provided directly from Google.

The phone comes with Android 9 "Pie" preinstalled. An Android 10 update was released on 29 February but rolled back due to bugs. It was re-released again on 18 March. On 31 December 2020 Xiaomi released Android 11 update, but it bricked[6] every device it was installed on. Xiaomi fixed the issue within a week, but so far they have not told the reason for the failed update.

Release

[edit]

The Xiaomi Mi A3 is a re-branded Xiaomi Mi CC9e smartphone, that comes with Android One instead of MIUI on the Mi CC9e.[7] The Xiaomi Mi CC9e is a version meant for China, while the Xiaomi Mi A3 is the global version of the Mi CC9e. The Xiaomi Mi CC9e was first released in July 2019, only a couple of weeks before the Mi A3.
