Both its predecessors came with IPS LCD screens – the Mi A3 has an AMOLED display. The Mi A3 takes a couple of steps forward here, but also a step back.
There’s no waterproofing as such but Xiaomi is using its tried and tested P2i hydrophobic coating in the Mi A3 which makes it resistant to accidental splashes of water or rain. Xiaomi has gone a step further and put Corning glass protection on top of the camera module as well which is a nice thing to have considering that it protrudes out quite a bit. Not only is it a good-looking phone, the Mi A3 is also built rock solid. Xiaomi has also color-coated the sides accordingly, which I feel is a nice touch.
The More than White variant should appeal to those who like to work hard and party harder, while the Kind of Grey variant is specifically meant for those looking for a no-nonsense device. The Mi A3 will be available in three options loosely inspired by the Google Pixel - Kind of Grey, Not just Blue and More than White. The Not just Blue variant I have for review is the most striking, if you’re someone who likes to flaunt it – this one sees distinct ‘S’ patterns dancing across the whole surface when light hits the panel at specific angles. The Mi A3 has a gradient finish on the back, but it’s a lot more subdued when you compare it with Xiaomi’s aura design seen in the Redmi Note 7 Pro. This is also true about the colors. I’ll go so far as to say that the Mi A3 strikes just the right balance of size and ergonomics. And because it’s a smaller phone, the Mi A3 is also a lot more pocketable. The Mi A3 is a lot curvier in comparison though which entails in a much more comfortable grip. The Mi A1 looked and felt way ahead of its time and even though the Mi A3 is coming at a time when there’s no dearth of premium-looking budget phones (including at least a couple from Xiaomi itself), it still manages to look and feel special. Like the Redmi Note 7 Pro, the Mi A3 also has a glass sandwich design – with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and the back, and a plastic frame in the middle.
