Review Xiaomi Mi A3: Take three steps forward, take a step back

For months, there has been a lot of rumors and rumors around this problem little Mimi A3. After all, we're not just talking about the company's smart phone Lei Jun , also a model family of one of Android , the brand's fans particularly appreciated category, however, he prefers to lack of stock MIUI custom functions and experience. The moment finally arrives and new equipment has landed in Italy last 187 months, describes various novel of the series, but at the same time - to make some sacrifices. does it worth? Learn about our Xiaomi A3 reviews!

Xiaomi Mi A3 Review

Sales package

The sales box of the AX A3 is a white cardboard similar to its predecessor, but it puts the device on the front and has an excellent color (borrowing "Cousin") I CC9e ). Inside the package, we found the following equipment:

• Xiaomi Mi A3;
• 10V 2A wall charger;
• USB / USB Type-C data cable;
• The pin of the SIM slot;
• Soft silicone sleeve
• manual.

Design and construction quality

Just over a year small Mimi A2 but in terms of design and customization, the progress the company has made very significant. Xiaomi A3 chooses a small size compared to the current average: we have 153.5 x 71.9 x 8.5 mm for a weight of 173 grams .

You will notice a fairly noticeable thickness because the battery is large. However, the thickness of such daily use does not become a problem. Thanks to the thinning of the rear body, you can enjoy excellent grip even with just one hand.

As we mentioned, AX A3 - from a purely aesthetic point of view - it represents a successful product. If on the front side, we did not notice that the display's specific custom AMOLEDda 6.01 inch case can be supplied step by step - all colors - exquisite color effects.

Just lose the fingerprint ID of the body (you will find it under the display) and try to provide the same elegance. Xiao Mi Mi 9 e Mi 9 SE . Later we found that the glass has good oleophobicity: we tried dark ( a little gray ), although it is the most easily captured footprint, but it shows excellent resistance in this respect. On the other hand, the side frame is made of polished aluminum, which is understandable from both a resistance point of view and an aesthetic point of view.

The only "defect" with respect to the design is still that the chin (the notch below the display) is too visible and the step between the front panel and the side frame. In addition, for users who do not wish to rely solely on the display for notification (which will be turned on for a few seconds when they are received), there is a small notification LED along the upper frame.

The new AX A3 is equipped with a 6.01-inch Super AMOLED HD+ ( 720 x 1560 pixels, 286 ppi ). We have a nice panel: cautious color fidelity, although it tends to be warm, it only loses some strokes at maximum brightness. However, even in direct sunlight, the yield is considerable: in this sense, the work performed by the brightness sensor will be useful because, in my opinion, it can quickly calibrate the display at the right point.

Good viewing angle and responsiveness of the touch screen, as well as management of the frame of the "not cut" display portion.

If it is not specific (basic), then the decision will be fine: HD display . Unfortunately, we must pay attention to a resolution that does not meet the unit. Equipment is now surrounded by a full high-definition (even in 4K In fact, it is impossible not pay attention to small details of the definition, either image or simple icons and widgets.

Hardware and Performance - Review of Xiaomi A3

After the above Mi CC9e, Xiaomi's latest Android One will also be equipped with SoC Snapdragon 665 Qualcomm. It is a mid-range solution built on 11 nm production process, equipped with ARM Cortex-A260-based Kryo 73 architecture CPU, clock frequency up to 2.0 GHz. The chipset comes with GB 4 RAM LPDDR4x e GB 64 memory UFS 2.1 for medium-range packaging.

Everything on paper is flawless. In fact, the device performed very well in our tests. Android Stock helps to alleviate everything, even though we noticed some slight slowdowns and experience is not the maximum mobility. Maybe the new SoC still needs some time to express itself, but we are confident. However, the hands-on animation settings (A 0.5xthrough option Developers situation will further improve.

The graphics part relies on the GPU Adreno 330 , which is a good solution for games with fewer resource requests, but it is not particularly suitable for heavier games. "Serious" gamers will inevitably bet on other models, and all casual players - or less complex game fans - will have no problems. During a long session, the CPU tends to heat up slightly, but there is nothing to worry about.

software

Talk about software small Mimi A3 it is so ...... superfluous! Mid-range is a part of the family of the Android system a result, the operating system is completely green robot installed in the stock version (the case has all the advantages and disadvantages). Currently the device has been loaded on the ship with Android 9 Pie updated security patch a 2019 .

In short, if you are passionate about MIUI, then you can hardly afford the lack of certain features that are the pride of Xiaomi's custom UI. If you appreciate Chinese companies, but prefer an essential software, clean and smooth, no extra decoration and necessary, then Android inventory is the only way out.

In terms of security, smart phones rely selfie camera facial makeup unlock software: As long as we have good lighting conditions, unlock it will happen soon. We have in front of a sensor ID is integrated in the AMOLED panel, even if not very fast, but also an accurate and reliable solution.

Photography quality

Like the smartphones of this period, Xiaomi A3 welcomes the updated field of photography, which consists of Sony's IMX582 sensor. Megapixel 48 ( f/ 1.8), a super wide-angle module megapixel 8 ( f/ 2.2, FOV 118°) and sensor dedicated to depth (2 megapixels, f/2.4). The Android One series is equipped with a three-in-one camera and is only welcome for fun.

Update photography department seeks to provide a lot of satisfaction and lens detailedand well-calibrated color. To avoid overexposure, some precautions must be taken, but overall we are faced with a pleasant solution. Excellent portrait mode that accurately outlines the subject in the foreground. Basically you shoot megapixels 12 (using Pixel Binning technology) and "complete" 48 megapixels, you will have to use the manual mode. Currently AI supports scene recognition, HDR (also automatic) and night shooting mode. Regarding the latter, when the lighting is insufficient, the improvement is very effective.

In fact, at night, the photo pack lost the lens, and the details were less and softer. Night mode can ease the situation and get the job done.

In selfie side, we have a sensor megapixel 32 , having a panoramic selfie, the HDR and portrait mode. From a social point of view, even in low light conditions, the results may not be particularly exciting at night. Finally, the device is capable of recording video 4K a FPS 30 and 1080p to 30 / 60 fps.

Connectivity and audio quality

Lo small Mimi A3 change cards on the table compared to AX A2 and returned to the glory of the first chapter of the series the possibility to re-insert the microSD card into the slot (up to 256 GB) of LTE dual SIM mixed. It's definitely a supplement that can't be underestimated, even with 64/128 GB storage. As for the call, we did not encounter any receiving problems, even if it was a slightly difficult place. The standby audio is a bit uniform, but there is nothing really compromised.

In connectivity, the device supports a-Fi the Wi 802.11 / B / G / N / AC dual-band and Bluetooth 5.0 . We also found an infrared sensor, but NFC is once again unattractive: very bad, because it is now a feature that users demand loudly. Evergreen entrance is inevitable mini-jack from 3.5 mm to headphones, and GPS / A-GPS / GLONASS without any problems while browsing.

No problem, even about audio in headphones, through wired and wireless solutions. Along the lower edge, we find a speaker with sufficient volume and quality of humility.

autonomy

Lo Xiaomi A3 It comes with a large battery 4030 mAh This guarantees the use of the device throughout the day. During our testing and under quite difficult conditions (using web browsing, games, social media, email, etc.), our display time was only 5 hours. Obviously, this is a purely indicative value, and as the usage rate increases, the autonomy time is bound to increase.

Fully charged in about 2 hours with a charger 10W in each room; but we remind you that the smartphone supports fast charging 18W , so - if you want to speed up the program - you can buy a suitable charger.

Comments on Xiaomi A3 - Price and conclusion

The expression on the overall perception of small Mimi A3 It really is a difficult task, because due to some shortcomings, it is a balancing device. The design follows the track that has already been seen, and even if the new blue and white colors are really beautiful, it is definitely a plus point. Even the implementation of AMOLED displays and integrated fingerprint sensors is a welcome advance, but the choice of HD resolution alone is indeed too much.

Just think about its positioning in terms of price, it is just between the two Redmi Note 7 eXiaomi Mi 9 SE . Both models mentioned have full HD+ panels, and in the case of the Mi 9 SE, we have an AMOLED solution with an ID sensor. In short, it's an inflated feature that downgrades the HD panel to an ultra-low budget range.

However, the advantages of small Mimi A3 Admittedly, Android stock main . If you want a pure experience, then you will prefer the two competitors mentioned above, and the presence of Sony's 48 megapixel sensor - including the provision of good lenses - should not be underestimated. Can you pass the HD display and NFC missing (not on Note 7, but MI 9 SE is available)? Then Android One and Mi A3 are the correct answers! For everyone else, depending on your needs and pockets, you can fully throttle in one of the two cousins.

Summary - and quote the famous steps in front of the title - although there is a departure, there are some things that can keep the new Android One, but it doesn't work. Improvements in batteries, cameras and displays (in terms of AMOLED technology and ID sensors) are undeniable, not to mention the implementation of UFS 2.1 memory. Can we talk about the best purchase? Not now, but it is said in the future - due to the big discount - the device can become more attractive.(Key words)
