Xiaomi executive teases Mi A3 India launch on Twitter.
The Mi A3 is an Android One version of the Xiaomi CC9e.
The phone was first launched in Spain.
Manu Kumar Jain, Xiaomi India Managing Director, has teased the India launch of the company's “upcoming Android One smartphone” on Twitter. The Xiaomi Corporation Vice President shared a video on the microblogging website in which he plays “a game” with the Google Assistant. Basically, the whole exercise is to reiterate Xiaomi India’s success and making the Mi A3 launch official.
The news comes at a time when there are reports, which claim that the new Xiaomi Mi A3 could be launched in India on August 23. Jain, however, has not revealed the launch date. In fact, the claims made by Smartpix are based on the word of a “well-placed industry source”. In India, the Mi A3 is expected to feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 chipset and will likely be complemented by up to 4GB of RAM and up to 128GB of internal storage.
The Xiaomi Mi A3 is essentially an Android One version of the Xiaomi CC9e, which was recently launched in China. The phone has already been launched in Spain, France and in Poland. As mentioned, the phone is an Android One handset, which means that the phone will receive major Android updates for two years and security updates for the next three years.
