Mi A3 is coming to India. Xiaomi has confirmed that it will launch Mi A3 Android One phone in India on August 21. Going by history of se phones, Xiaomi should launch Mi A3 in India at a price of under Rs 20,000 - which would make it compete with phones like Realme X and Vivo S1. t to mention, re will also be Xiaomi’s own Redmi te 7 Pro vying for customers’ attention. 

biggest difference between Mi A3 and Redmi te 7 Pro will be software. While Redmi te 7 Pro runs MIUI, Mi A3 runs stock Android Pie our-of--box - because it is an Android One phone. Because it is an Android One phone, Mi A3 is also expected to get faster software updates and oretically receive Android Q - which is next version of Android - before Redmi te 7 Pro.
