Interestingly in any of the tweets, there is no specific date or timeline given by Xiaomi for the launch of the Mi A3 smartphone. However, with the number of teasers being given out by the company it can well be expected to be unveiled soon.
According to a previous leak, the Mi A3 Lite might be a global version of Mi CC9e, which was launched in China earlier this month. A Xiaomi Android One phone having similar dimensions as the Mi CC9e was listed on US Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
Xiaomi Mi CC 9e comes with a 3D glass body design and triple back cameras. It has a 6.08-inch AMOLED display with a dewdrop notch on the top. The device is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 processor coupled with Adreno 610 GPU. It runs on Android 9.0 Pie with Xiaomi’s own MIUI 10 skin.
In terms of optics, Mi CC 9e features sports a triple camera setup on the back, a combination of 48MP primary sensor, 8MP secondary sensor, and a third 2MP sensor. The front camera is 32MP and the battery is 4,030mAh. It uses the in-display fingerprint sensor and face-unlock feature for authentication.
