How is 128 gb cheaper than 64? 🤣
Redmi note 7 or mi a3 . which is better under direct sunlight? and which do U prefer , Android One or Muie ?
First of all: Great review. Like always. I'd like to say that this device looks quite interesting. I've had the mi a1 and now the mi a2. I'm very impressed of both of them. The next one should be the mi a3. But seriously I have to check the display first. I'm not sure about the resolution.
How does it compare with Redmi Note 8 Pro? I'm trying to decide between them.
I like mine, but without rooting and tweaking, the minimum brightness is way too bright in a dark room. The 720 resolution is definitely noticeable. I'm fine with it, but other people might not be. Definitely try it out in a physical store before buying if possible!
I'd also prefer paying more to have a thicker phone with doubled battery. It's not a bad battery, but it's about the minimum battery capacity I'd accept.
Its Gorilla glass 5 on the back,not glasstic
yes
Budget Linus talking about Budget Pixel.
I'm in the right platform.
Haha good one!
budget linus, lol
tell me pls, how phone handles video recording in places that have a lot of noise, like concerts, my wife have note 7 and sound is terrible
You said that the inscreen fingerprint sensor is fast after the software update? Can you confirm tour build and software ver. Plz. My a3 is still saying clean the sensor many times.
Every time I turn phone off all my music I downloaded before disappeared. I have a SD card in this phone and all my music get sent there now I have no music. Do you know how to fix
I bought the A3 yesterday after my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 broke the other day and I needed a quick replacement.
The phone blows me away. It's better than the Note 8 in pretty much every single way I can think of. The low resolution of the screen doesn't bother me. The colors look nice and the speaker is AMAZING!
Hands down the best phone I have ever used. And for such a low price. I'm very happy with my purchase.
Try using a camera App like Open Camera...it will sharpen the front cam for stills and video remarkably
I got problems with the lost signal in Redmi note 8 and want to try this Android one. Do you have any problem losing signal, the caller cannot be reached...?
I wonder if the low volume output in the headphone jack has been fixed by now...
Well I'm having one right now. Great smartphone for me who loves stock android. Mine is 6GB + 128GB Just tell us all, does the screen guard slows the fingerprint sensor ?
I'm using a glasgow tempered glass and it doesn't slow down.
Awesome one Month review as always Linus
first watching your video .. nice one mate... specially liked the way u gave camera samples ... can please compare this with xiaomi note 8 and samsung galaxy m30s ?
Thanks Linus! Great review as usual. Very good phone for the price. You get Amoled screen, SD665, fantastic camera, much storage, good looks, stock android. Mi A3 budget king, why not?
why grey silicon case? mine with transparent, much better because dont change color of the phone
At that speed I’d prefer a regular fingerprint scanner and the price saved to be used on a higher res display
The it would be lcd
The Display is very dark too.
then it would be an LCD and there would be no difference between this one and the mi a2, the only reason xiaomi chose to go with amoled screen is for the in display fingerprint sensor, which is impossible to implement on an lcd.
Look I thought the same, until I got the phone a month ago. ive used cellphones with much faster fingerprint sensors, but ive fallen in love with this implementation. Once you get used to unlock the device on the table without having to take it up, you dont want to ever go back.
Its interesting, because i almost dont buy the phone because of the screen res and the slow sensor, but now I really like the sensor and, although i would like a 1080 display, I do like the superb battery life.
I know it is not for evereyone, but is a really good phone for the buck
@ i agreed man, they just base on specs not on actual like us who currently use it and enjoy it. And good for the hand not big not small
Aside from I like everything about this phone review, I also like the new haircut ...
How is indoor network strength?..I'm facing problem...what to do?
Any1 getting this error after android 10 update? 'this app is developed for an older version of android and may not work properly. check for updates or contact the developer' every time i want to install an app outside playstore im getting this one
HDR is probably only good on a tripod for many phones, but seems to be software reliant. My Umidigi F1 has 64mp setting, but it's actually a 12mp camera interpolated by software. I use Google Open Camera app and leave it set on 12mp. Peace
I don t need NFC. Best budget device of 2019 !
Does Mi A3 has a dual speaker?
You make good reviews.good explanation I wonder why your channel is underrated.keep it up
Thank you very much! Need to work harder!
Woah Linus you've lost some body mass there, congrats
Flip to silent ringer option available? In call settings
your are my favourite English phone review youtuber so nice Expression 😘💝
Linus thanks for the video, also do you know what type of storage type this device uses? Emc or ufs2.1
ufs
@@jeffkaguri thanks
Hi Linus, great video and explanation. I first knew you from the galaxy A70 review video and I finally had the A70. Btw where r u originally from?
Burkina faso
I have this phone and I love it. Before I bought it I saw a lot of negative comments about the display but for me, Its verrrry okay.
I still use the stock camera app because it offers alot of features I like that open camera, Google camera etc don't offer. But, gcam is still my go to camera for this, every photo is great, especially portrait photos
For me there is no Dirac (Mi Enhancer) so bad headfone optimization
As of today ,is Poco F1 worth buying?The price difference b/w Mi A3(64GB int.storage) and Poco F1 (128GB int.storage) here in India is Rs2500,which is less than $40 USD.Please help me choose between the two.Thanks in advance!
Next time put watermark of phone brand you use for the photo :)
Hi bro can U me. How's call quality and network reception and call quality?
It's great! no complaints!
Most people probably wouldn't know the difference between 720p and 1080p unless you are told .7020p amoled looks better than cheaper 1080p screens
Awesome explation bro keep it up
Thank you very much!
I got both MI A3 and the Redmi note 7. Both great, but use the A3 as my principal phone because it has better camara, speaker, it feels way better in the hand, and it's pretty snappy. The built quality is better.
Redmi Note 8 could be better than Mi A3. And cheaper.
@@ifacedownworship but on global is gonna release after 6 weeks =(
Does Mi A3 has a dual speaker?
I've got this under 10K and everything is smooth and fine! With its size, you won't notice the pixelation. Camera is superb, especially in GCAM. The in-display fingerprint is really slow but you can disable the animation to unlock the phone faster (XDA Forum) Stock Android is the best! Currently installed the September security patch and soon Android 10!
I have heard that text looks really bad on Mi A3. Is this true? I really want to buy this phone but display res. and gaming performance are the two things I am concerned about
@@shantanukulkarni8883 no it's normal like any other phone unless you try to look in phone so closely but no one uses phone like that. If you are a normal user go for it
@@RaghavSharma-tu1ve Yup! It's true!
@Akash On Lazada
I would love to have a backup phone for my Pixel 4XL, the MiA3 would be great but with no NFC? Disappointing....
Good review like it 👍
Happy
I love this phone actually but the lack of the NFC is a big minus
Great video! :D
Thank you very much!
for me. IR blaster is useful than NFC. I usually don't use tap to pay on my purchases :)
That can be covered by smart watches
Take a look at MI 9 lite, it's more value for the price, still great on budget! :D
@@dzsim yes but for a normal person w/ just the amount of money they can get on their salary. Mi9 is already expensive.
Thank you for the cool review ❤️
Good review, as always
Thanks a lot!
1:40 this is actually true glass...
almost hitting the 3year mark on this phone once i reach the 4year mark i'll most likely buy a s21/s22 depending on prices and stability. bought the a3 very close to launch about a month or two off and it has served me well uptill now the updates have been rocky but got through it and android 11 is pretty smooth on this phone granted i have changed more settings than an average person would but that's my own endeavours of optimization.
reasons of upgrading in about a year
- ram limitations 4gb -> 8gb
- screen 720p -> 1080p / 60hz -> 120hz / brightness / colours / bezels
- camera upgrade however mi a3 with gcam is seriously better than iphones cameras 10 under also a hole punch front camera.
- try a new skin oneui you know i've tried ios and stock android so one ui is next and sometimes apps don't work or there's a reboot yea.
- other things like build quality, sensors, ports, battery bla bla bla are really secondary upgrades the main one is simply screen, ram, camera and new os with better stability. anyways i'll enjoy its final year and probably still use it as a secondary phone for occasions here and there.
I just got this phone today. After using the phone for an evening and I have to agree with Linus that the screen is nice. The pixelation is not an issue at all and the blurry texts are non-existent. Phone is very snappy and immediately comes with a Google update after setting it up. I used it for leisure games like monstercry, Looney tunes and it works very fine. Does not over heat. It supports aptx too. This is really a very good phone and complement to my s10e. 😃😃
Edit: I forgot about the camera. Mine was snappy and does not lag when taking shots.
hi dear ur now use phine mi a3 pls can u tell me how is the sound that output from mic when i connect to headphone jack mean my friend tell me that the sound output from headphone jack is so low and bad is that right
How to stop photo slideshow on my lock screen every time the battery charger is connected? Thx
Go to settings-> Display->Advanced->Screen saver -> And turn off photos or while charging
Some mi a3 users are says that the 6gb RAM variant is slow then the 4gb RAM is it true???
no in the first needs update now its good
Does it suppose G Cam without rooting.
Yes. It comes with camera to api support out of the box. You just have to install the Gcam apk & configure it properly.
What i like is the Camera!
I'm using mi a3 now and it's a wonderful purchase
Me too. Solid purchase!
Norberto Corre can u tell me about the Display? 720p
@@francisamielguevarra7203 the display is better than 1k ips display. Its super amoled u wont really feel like its 720p
@@exos1sthero711 would you recommend the phone?
Thanks for suggestions for 720p amoled..
I need help to decide which should I buy Xiaomi Mi Note 3 or Xiaomi Mi A3 🤔
Mi note 3 is old.
Take the a3 or rn7 pro
Really nice video!
You can't really compare it with the iphone XR simply because the XR has higher pixel density with mi a3. Mi A3 is less than 300 vs that of the XR's screen.
(I don't see 720p screen is a downside. It allows smaller form factor while maintain battery life)
where are you from? Love your accent! :)
just ordered one in white!
Please help me.i want to buy a3,but peoples are said 720 resolution is bad. What is the true?? Please help meeeeee
not as bad trust me, it´s a great choice, and you are not losing a lot in fact netflix only reproduces in 720p on mobile devices, and in 480p in most midrange full hd phones because your phone needs to have an specific file to watch netflix at 720p (the mi a3 has it). You'll definitely notice the lack of resolution if you directly compare it to a full hd display, but you 'll get used to it and you'll also notice the punchy beautiful colors, watch this video on 720p and ask yourself, is it really that bad??. I'd say definitely go for this phone it's great and the screen is good for the price.
@@gobir_roz I agreed with
Not bad at all. The amoled screen compensates for the resolution. If the screen was 720 p with an LCD screen then it would look bad.
review with transparency!!
Merci frère pour ta vidéo
I would have bought one if it had NFC
I'm in a dilemma between the Xiaomi Mi A3 and the Redmi Note7? The Redmi Note7 is cheaper in my country for 20 euros. I compared them visually ... Redmi seems to have a nicer display of vibrant colors, while the MI A3 seems to be more blurry? Although I prefer the Mi A3 because it is more compact. What do you think is a better buy?
Go for note 7.. if u want stock android experience simply install pixel experience rom on note 7 .. njoy
Don't forget the annoying error texts that briefly shows then goes away from using a custom ROM not to mention the tedious method of unlocking bootloader of Xiaomi phones
Should i buy this phone or the huawei p20lite ?
I used P20 Lite, it's good, EMUI is very stable and helpful, but got problem with screen, some pixels error after 6 months, the internal speaker got low gradually.... I'm trying Mi A3 now, hope it has better hardware quality.
What do recomend Galaxy a10 or s10?
Wow, that is a very weird comparison
Pixel 3 xl
LMAO
which do you think i should buy? Redmi Note 8 or Mia3 I'm undecided,help me :)
I also need help with this
MiA3 is better
Stock andorid is always the way to go. Just bought the Mia3 to my girlfriend and i don't regret it. The display is very good, although everyone says its low res. You can only notice it if you look the phone from 15cm, which you won't ever do. I compared it to her previous mi a1 with full hd, but lcd, and the amoled panel is much more vivid and enjoying to watch, and it also makes battery life a bit better. So no brainer here.
@@peponderat92 thanks Peter wish you to enjoy it.I bought the Redmi Note 8. I'm satisfied now
I wanted to buy it but they told me I rather take Redmi Note 8T, that's better and cheaper... how do you see that?
Mi A3 compact & amoled
I still use mia1, battery is a bit of a problem.
I dont like Mi brand but this phone is nice i like it coz of its screen size and battery., phone now a days in market with screen size of 6.3, 6.6 etc phones feel like tab! Nice video
From Pakistan
can u tell when mi a4 going to release
not sure, no info on that
5:00 what's the application ??
It's GPS Test by Chartcross Limited. I also wanted to know, so I took a screenshot from the video, rotated/cropped it and used Google Images for a reverse lookup... :ℍ𝔸ℂ𝕂𝔼ℝ𝕄𝔸ℕ:
Elias Fotinis THANX!!!!👍👍👍
Great video
Is it true that in-display fingerprint gets faster by updates!? Wonder how it will be polished through time. I've heard that the pixelation are not that evident anymore also through update, which I want to verify. Thank you!
For those who want to buy the phone, wait for the price to become cheaper. You will appreciate more what it offers if the price is right.
I bought it for 180usd. For this price i would say it is pretty good. The sensor... I think it is a little bit faster, but maybe i just got better at placing the thumb. I takes a second to unlock, you can definitely notice the difference over a more tradittionally back-placed sensor. However... I wouldnt consider it a deal breaker, at least for me. It is also a good sensor, not fast, but it rarely fails. Hope it helps you :)
@ Thank you so much, planning to buy this one.
Nice improvement techlinus yiur losing weight goodjob
Hey, thanks for the support! Still working hard to maintain the weight and burn some more fat haha
Which one between xiaomi mi a3 & redmi note 8?
A3 720p with super amoled display is better than 1080p IPS
Ohh..but its amoled right not super amoled but well thank you..😊
@@kenkaneki_21 it's super amoled bro

I’m excited because mines is coming in the mail!
Is it good cause I might be buy one.
@@ganjavalorant5082 I've had it for roughly 3 days and I'm obsessed! I haven't had to charge my phone too much and the audio is amazing! I recommend buying this ohone!
@@bradley2382 Do you receive all of your phone calls? Cause I saw some bad reviews saying 85% of phone calls didn't ring.
Hapy1 Nearly all of my calls go through even when I have low service but My friend called me and the call didn’t go through, It was due to very bad service though. But my sister has this phone and she sometimes doesn’t get calls. But it’s more like 0.1% of calls
@@bradley2382 Thank you for your advice.
What should i buy? Redmi note 8 or MiA3
I bought this A3 phone. I really like the pure Android. Xiaomi sometimes pushes adware on their other Android phones (depends on models and where you live in the world) but on a pure android phone like this (Android One) they are obliged by contract with Google to keep it clean.
Battery life is pretty nice. The one I have takes at least twice as long to recognize my fingerprint compared to how long it takes in this video review. The design (shape/edges/weight/dimensions) feel really good in the hand and the construction quality is great as well. One of my greatest fears before buying it was the relatively low resolution of the screen but it's not a real problem from normal viewing distance. The OLED screen gives as good colors and contrast as a screen on a premium OLED phone like the Samsung Galaxy S9, S10 etc. Resolution is lower but not enough to make it not worth it for the price. I think it's a good deal.
best value Android One smartphone just wish it had a FHD display...
Mi A3 display is bad. Low Resolution and super dark.
@Odin Son Yep, Nokia 8.1 is best value Android One device, but I ordered Pixel 3A because it was only 50 euro more than Nokia 8.1 (purple color) and basically the same price as Nokia 8.1 Blue/Gray ^_^
@@pitchrich5893 do u base it on specification or u have it on u? Cause I have one. It's not dark, it's brighter than ips lcd with 1020 400plus ppi. I got Asus Max 3 5.5 and I can sure that mi a3 is brighter
@Odin Son OKay... but the mi a3 is 180usd, and the nokia is around 250. Of course it is better
@@exos1sthero711 Totally agree. It is no super bright, that is true. But you can definitly read and enjoy using it under direct sunlight
The display is not as bad?
no, it's pretty good for a budget phone
good review
this one or samsung a40?
I think this Is Better because of 4000mah battery compared to 3000mah of A40
Me and my girlfrien got both. I can tell you this: the camera is slightly better on the mi a3, especcialy with good lighting. The battery is noticeably better. I would only buy the samsung if you really like its design o the UI. But I think that the Mi A3 is a better deal
It's been 8 months using that phone, recently we got the android 10, I still recommande to anyone who want a budget phone with no major lose, to be honest since I have it I didn't found any reason to change phone, I play some recent game like 7 deadly sinces , or the last final fantasy, without any issue
how is the headphone output from it?
nice fair review
But... Redmi Note 7 RAM management is bad...
what image stabization.. the last few xiaomi phones stabization has been non existant looks like this phone has some of the same negatives of the other ones kinda bad they don't really try and improve things just pump out a new phone every few months.
You can compensate by using a tripod or selfie stick that has a gimbal. Just saying.
Back is not glasstic its glass gorrila 5 finished
It is Bäst Mobiltelefon 2019 vs 2020😂👍👍📷📲🔋🔉
Does Mi A3 has WiFi sharing???
my a2 does so this must have
which one is better Redmi note 7 pro or Mi A3
Mi a3 if u want smaller screen with AMOLED indisplay finger print. And 48 Sony rear cam.
Rn7 pro with SNAPDRAGON 675
For me the biggest pro for this phone is the absence of MIUI. No matter how optimized MIUI 11 is it just can't compete with stock Android. The device is super snappy and respondable. I'm definitely not going back to MIUI.
Seems like the Redmi Note 7 or the Mi A2 would be better purchases...
I like phones with LED notif. Light
Do I get this for £135 or pay £65 more and get the Mi 9 Lite or the Note 8 Pro?
Ff.. I'm confused also on which one to buy.
@@Zerimara23 Did you choose one?
Not yet.. But for me I like the Note 8 pro for the specs.. Processor, batt, CAM sensor, eis..
Google Camera so bäst📷📹
Get real...this phone is under $200 and you're wishing for way too much.
IKR!!!
Great phone with cheaper price
I was thinking it about it
no 64 rom
6 rom and 128gb
How you know the phones back is PLASTIC?? GSMARENA says Its Glass
I explained what I think about this in the video.
it's glass but the frame is plastic
XR has a greater PPI
Mi A3💪💪💪
