Our Opinion On The Xiaomi Mi A3

Considering the launch price of the Mi A3 in Europe, the device is most likely to cost in the vicinity of Rs. 15,000, making it a tough buy especially considering the fact that the Redmi Note 7 Pro is available for Rs. 13,999 with a superior chipset and a high-resolution display.
