Xiaomi Philippines has finally launched its popular Android One smartphone, dubbed as Xiaomi Mi A3. It has an official price of Php11,900 for the 4GB/128GB model. Apparently, the 64GB model isn’t available locally. Authorized Mi stores will start selling on August 24, with Lazada and Shopee on September 9. Mi A3 is available in Blue, White, and Gray.
The company’s latest affordable midrange phone runs on Android 9 Pie and is guaranteed to have two years of major software updates and three years of security patches. Its Chinese counterpart is the Mi CC9e that was released last month. However, it runs on the company’s heavily-skinned MIUI. Spec-wise, they are pretty much the same phone.
