The wait is over — the Xiaomi Mi A3 is officially launched in Malaysia starting at the price of RM899, and yes, it has many upgrades over the Mi A2.
Equipped with a 6.088-inch AMOLED display, the Mi A3 comes with a bigger screen than its predecessor and has a dot drop notch. In addition, it has a 3D curved glass design that comes with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 to ensure that it’s not easily damaged. The Mi A3 also has an in-screen fingerprint sensor which is said to be more reliable due to enhancements on its pixel and sensor size. You can also opt for AI face unlock if in-screen fingerprint sensors aren’t your cup of tea.
