The Xiaomi Mi A3 is Xiaomi's latest Android One mid-range smartphone, and promises a lot on paper. Then again, there's the 720p display.
Mostly, this affected me when I had the phone hooked up to my car’s Bluetooth system, so a quick fix is to set the Mi A3’s volume at around 75%, and to increase the volume of the sound system I was using instead. It appears that Xiaomi has pushed the max output of the speakers past its limit, which is fine if you’re using the smartphone’s built-in speakers, but sounds pretty garbled on a pair of headphones or speakers.
The in-display fingerprint scanner is pretty reliable—but that’s probably the only good thing I can say about it. I didn’t get too many errors, but the phone tookto unlock once my fingerprint had been scanned. It’s worth noting that we’ve experienced similarly-slow unlock times for fingerprint scanners on stock Android phones in the past, so perhaps it’s a software issue here.
That’s including using the phone to take pictures, navigate with Waze/Grab, watch Netflix, as well as regular messaging on WhatsApp., the Mi A3 took 30 minutes to get to 31%, while fully charging the phone took around 2 hours and 14 minutes, which is pretty slow by today’s standards. That’s because the Mi A3 only comes with a 10W charger in the box, but it’s worth noting that fast-charging is supported—up to 18W. If you decide to buy an 18W charger separately, you can trickle-charge the already impressive battery on the Mi A3 to get the device to last till the end of a second day.For a mid-range smartphone, the photography capabilities of the Mi A3 aren’t too bad.
The AI enhancement is more of a personal preference option, to be honest. The photos tend to be a little over-saturated, and I’d much rather edit the images separately. On one occasion, having AI turned on seemed to distort the face of a person I was taking a photo of in a poorly-lit room, but that could be just a bug as it only happened once.Once you start taking photos in low-light conditions, however, things start to go south.
