720P for a $200 phone? Dead before it even got out the door. What a waste of an otherwise good phone.

My girlfriend and I purchased two of these, but got very poor data download speeds and failed upload tests at our home. So my question is, are these international market phones compatible with all of the frequency bands in rural areas of the United States?

As for the face unlock, i believe all phone need to press power button to wake the screen and it will read your face to unlock.
Unless the phone support function called "Raise to wake" which is none for this Mi A3.

I just bought this phone 2 days ago. Yes display is 720p, but the rest of the spec is impressive. I can live with that. Give and take. Nothing perfect. Last night install Gcam port for A3. The result is phenomenal. Night sight is fantastic. For the price merely $219 you get purest android, huge battery, super Amoled, sd card support, 3.5mm jack, great camera more like Pixel 3A, with the trade off is only 720p. This is bang for buck.

Hello, does it have notification LED? Does it supprt always-on or at leat does it show new messages on display?
In different review they say different things so I am asking the owners of the phone.
Also in some review they said the phone does not turn on automatically when you pick it up and you have to push power button first if you want to use face recognition and unlock the phone that way - is that true?
thanks for answers

720p on a 6" inch screen is a bad bad decision. Under display sensor also wasn't necessary as it hasn't matured yet. Should've just rebranded the Redmi note 7s with Android One and it'll sell way better

don't know about the accuracy,but to say "FAST" underdisplay fingerprint is at least A BIT overrated.as i have seen in the reviews, it is nowhere fast.that animation lasts for more than 1 second.i don't know why,but i find the gsmarena reviews lately missing the point many times.they are more confusing than enlightening. also i find xiaomi phones, and it seems especially those with global rom, to be suffering heavy from battery drainage concerning the cell standby.i mean to have a 18-20% battery while the screen, being 2hours and 30 min on only has 14-15% of sot.....it is nuts.and i have seen it on more than one smarphone from them.

Unfortunately, ppl are misleaded my the phone industry by brainwashing them for years, in sites such as this, to believe that the most important feature of a phone is its cameras.
Other gimmicks, like UFP also considered of the highest important and this is how we have reached an Era that actually the most important thing, by faaaaar, in a smartphone, it's display is undercooked.
It's a disgrace, even for an entry level phone to appear with such pitiful ppi and most important such pitiful luminosity, that only makes it valid for indoor use.
A disgrace, Xiaomi lost a considerable amount of respect in my eyes, only for making this phone.
Normally it would the ideal candidade to replace my mother's A1.
Hopefully it will be a massive sales failure and will teach them a lesson. Xiaomi is a crucial presence in quality vfm phones.
We need them for the future, they must not be completely misquided, this is not where the industry should go next!!!

Strange that no one is commenting on the HD display on A3 is a downgrade from A2s Full HD display. An unconventional and stupid move by Xiaomi. With Bumped up camera specs and with 4k recording videos you have a 720 pixel screen to display it all. A dissapointing major for me.

morningstar, 03 Aug 2019This phone is a clear example, that Xiaomi is still trying ... more"why not the CC9, tho? Why?"
That's because cc9 price starts from 260$ in china while mi a3's price is 250$ outside of china. Clearly they won't sell the same phone in countrues with more taxes and using android one instead of miui(phone brands makes money from custom ui this is why big brands like samsung huawei xiaomi oppo... use them instead of stock android) for cheaper price.

This phone is a clear example, that Xiaomi is still trying to fill-in that gap between their MIUI phones and the "Stock Android" fandom, no offense.
From here, they took the CC9e and flashed it with Android One, why not the CC9, tho? Why? Global ROMS increases the price of the phone, especially this Android One program, Xiaomi's doing great with their MIUI Phones, this phone is just a preview of "What a Xiaomi phone would look like if it runs on stock Android." Which is not so good. That's just my opinion tho. Also, 720p, yeah, right.
