We know there’s no such term called a perfect product, but you must know the device’s downsides. So, here are 2 things you must know before buying Xiaomi Mi A3.

2 Drawbacks Of Xiaomi Mi A3
There are many goods about Mi A3, but here are some drawbacks that you must know;
Downgraded Screen Resolution
A high-res display is very important for the fact that it the single most hardware that you will look into for the most part. Unlike Xiaomi Mi A2, which comes with an FHD+ (2160 x 1080 pixels) display, the Mi A3 comes with an HD+ (1560 x 720 pixels) display. Yes, the Xiaomi Mi A3 comes with a lower screen resolution, which of course tampers with overall image quality.
No 18W Fast Charger In The Box
Although the Mi A3 supports 18W fast charging, sadly, the company doesn’t pack one with the bundle, instead, it just offers a standard 10W charger in the package box. This could be a cost-cutting measure from the company. So, if you want to use the potential, you need to buy an 18W fast charger by yourself.
