After teasing it on its Facebook Page, Xiaomi has officially confirmed that the Mi A3 is coming to the Philippines, adding to its roster of value-for-money devices.
The Redmi A3 has a 6.088-inch HD+ AMOLED Dot Drop display protected by Gorilla Glass 5. Under the hood is a Snapdragon 665 octa-core processor, backed by 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
The device packs three rear shooters, including a 48MP wide-angle lens, an 8MP ultra-wide angle lens, and a 2MP depth sensor. It features AI scene detection, distortion correction on ultra-wide angle shots, and steady handheld night photography. There’s a 32MP front camera that can capture AI-assisted portrait selfies.
Redmi A3 runs on Android Pie, and is an Android One device, which means you’re ensured of at least two years of OS upgrades, along with access to the latest innovations from Google, such as Google Assistant. It packs a 4,030mAh battery with support for 18W fast-charging via a USB-C port.
Other features include 4K 30fps video recording, Bluetooth 5, IR Remote, AI Face Unlock, and an in-display fingerprint scanner.
