Generally speaking, compared to the Xiaomi Mi A2, the new Xiaomi Mi A3 offers us 6 main upgrades, which has been detailed written in our previous article.

However, this time we are mainly talking about its downgrades and missing functions.

Xiaomi Mi A3 major drawbacks (disadvantages)

Xiaomi Mi A3 really offers us amazing upgrades in many aspects, but now we just talk about its drawbacks.

Drawback 1: Downgrade screen resolution

Xiaomi Mi A3 is paired with a larger 6.088-inch screen. However, it’s a HD+ display with the screen resolution of 1560 x 720 pixels. In contrast, the Xiaomi Mi A2 is equipped with a FHD+ (Full HD+) display with the screen resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels. So the Xiaomi Mi A3 has the lower screen resolution, which means that it will not offer you gorgeous image quality.

Drawback 2: No 18W fast charger in the box

Although Xiaomi officially introduces that Xiaomi Mi A3 supports 18W fast charging, but it just offers a standard 10W charger in the package box instead of 18W fast charger. So if you want to enjoy the fast charging on Xiaomi Mi A3, you need to buy an 18W fast charger by yourself.

Drawback 3: Only 2 memory combo options

Presently, the Xiaomi Mi A3 only offers 2 memory combo options: 4GB RAM + 64GB ROM, 4GB RAM + 128GB ROM. So it’s a pity that it doesn’t offer 6GB RAM. As we know, the higher RAM will offer you more space to store your APPs, photos and musics.

Drawback 4: You will not enjoy MIUI system

One of the key highlights of the Xiaomi Mi A3 is the Android One system. Android One system is a pure version of the standard Android system released by Google. The Android One system will offer optimized software and no superfluous apps to guarantee the better performance on some entry-level smartphones.

However, the Android One phones can only receive OS updates for two or three years, so you will not enjoy some new and welcome features of the MIUI system, such as dark mode, new gesture navigation features, and so on.

Bottom line

Do you mind the 4 drawbacks mentioned above of the Xiaomi Mi A3? Yes, maybe. However, you cannot expect too much of the budget Xiaomi Mi A3. As all these downgrades and missing functions may not matter a lot for some users, and more importantly, it can help reduce the phone’s cost. Overall, the Xiaomi Mi A3 is a good entry-level phone worth buying thanks to its stylish design, excellent cameras and good value for money.
