Consumers should learn not buy crippled or substandard products just because of the price. That's just inviting manufacturers have their way on their customers, in the end that is what apple is all about.

Many don't like the screen resolution of this phone. But when Apple first came out with 'retina display' at 326 ppi, they argued that human eye can not resolve anything finer than that. And A3's ppi isn't that much lower at 286 ppi. Does that mean Apple was lying? I'm not a Xiaomi fanboy by any means, just wondering about this.

It's a great phone, speedy and thanks to the (not so low) resolution of the screen the large battery holds some two days before I need to charge it.

joe nodden, 30 Jul 2019No. That's not how it works. 6 inches is still 6 inches eve... moreCalculate the area and you will see that the aspect ratio matters.
Mi A3 (6.08" 19.5:9) area is slightly smaller than Mi A2 (5.99" 18:9)

SynthConn, 30 Jul 2019Was hoping for one, and thus becoming my new device... well... moreHmmm not a good idea going 720p res because I can already see the pixels on my 5.9 inch 1080p screen other than that and the processor which I can name a couple more devices at the same price with better chips is an okay device

I use a Honor 10 phone, 5.84 inch display and 720p resolution, 288ppi. I Have no issue using it whatsoever, as colors are good and I can't notice pixels.
This AMOLED will surely look good enough for 99% of users. It's just the numbers that bother all of you.
The lack of NFC is a much much bigger issue here, but some don't even use it.
Camera is great, battery is great, software is great. This will be a good mid-range for users who don't need NFC.

Anonymous, 28 Jul 2019I had a 5.5" screen 720p, pixels were clearly visible, can'... moreThis doesn't apply to all AMOLED displays. Galaxy S2 - RGB, Galaxy J5 2015 - Diamond Pentile, Galaxy J7 Nxt - RGBG Pentile.
My J7 Nxt (267ppi) seems significantly sharper than my dad's J5 (294ppi, 188ppi effective).
A typical RGB matrix would show its true ppi, it has 3 subpixels. Diamond Pentile has 2 subpixels with a circular green subpixel. RGBG (or RGB, in GSMArena's terms) also has 2 subpixels also with an extra green (in some cases, blue) subpixel, but it's rectangular, in other words 2 subpixels, but 3 effective.
If you see an AMOLED Diamond Pentile display with a ppi of 441 or higher, you should be fine as the effective ppi would be 294, you can't really see pixels at that ppi.
To conclude, RGB and RGBG will be fine, but Diamond Pentile is something to avoid when it comes to 720p and 1080p (depending on screen size) displays.
If you want to see RGBG, go to the Galaxy A7 (2016) review, for Diamond Pentile, go to
the OnePlus 3 review, both have 5.5" 1080p displays.
The difference between Super AMOLED and AMOLED is that sAMOLED has the digitizer integrated to the display. Not much difference in real life though, barely noticeable.
Hope this helped :)

happyendingbro , 29 Jul 2019Yeah... I guess 720p is enough for me.
No offence to oth... moreThe iphone se isn't a 1080p :DDD
It's a 640p
I own an Iphone se too and I'm looking forward to switching with the mi a3.
I'm not sure though... I feel like 720p isn't enough for me.

No NFC, no buy!
I love this device and i expected to have NFC on the next version.
Too bad, it's a great device, but i need NFC and i want something with Android One.
Every brand fights at the camera megapixels but forgot functionality. NFC it's a must in these days!
Great OS, good hardware, but no vision and adaptability for the market.

This has become a bit of a habit for Xiaomi now, a whole lot of new devices and a whole lot of poor choices. Xiaomi is trying to do with brands like Samsung previously did. At 250 Euros this phone definitely needed a 1080p screen specially given the screen size. For a stock android experience you should now have to make that large of a compromise.

DroidBoye, 28 Jul 2019Yeah, preference, it matters. But 720p is not bad as most p... moreYeah... I guess 720p is enough for me.
No offence to other people but personally I feel it’s a great phone, I am someone who look for a software which is pure and less bloatware.
This phone for me is a very good deal.
I know they compromised the display to 720p BUT you have a great camera AND (maybe) a battery that can last you a day or 2.
My personal phone is an iPhone SE with 1080p display and a office OPPO A3S with 720p, for me I can’t really notice any difference between these 2.
