Xiaomi has been launching Android One smartphones
since the past two years. In 2017, the Xiaomi had launched the Mi 5X smartphone
in China and the same phone’s Android One edition was unveiled as Xiaomi Mi A1.
Last year, the Mi 6X for China was made available as Xiaomi Mi A2 Android One
phone. Alongside the Mi A2, the company had also sold Mi A2 Lite Android One
which was made available in some markets like China and India as Redmi 6 Pro.
It was speculated that the recently unveiled Mi CC9 and Mi CC9e phones that
respectively features SD710 and SD665 chipsets could be arriving in
international markets as Mi A3 and Mi A3 Lite. Fresh information shared by
popular tipster Ishan Agarwal states that the Mi A3 and Mi A3 Lite will
respectively feature Snapdragon 730 and Snapdragon 675 chipsets.
The leakster has claimed that the new details on the
Mi A3 series shared by him is a confirmed information. This indicates that the
Mi A3 series will be more powerful than the Mi CC9 lineup. The Xiaomi Mi A2 and
A2 Lite were announced in July which suggest that the arrival of the Mi A3 and
Mi A3 Lite phones could be close at hand.
In the previous week, an Android One smartphone by
Xiaomi with model number M1906F9SH was certified by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) in the U.S and IMDA authority in Singapore. Not only the model
number of the phone matched with the Mi CC9e, but also its dimension and rear
design. It was also revealed that the Android One phone is equipped an AI
powered 48-megapixel triple camera setup and in-screen fingerprint sensor. The
CC9e also features a 48-megapixel triple camera unit. Hence, it may so happen

phones with more powerful chipsets.
