Xiaomi Mi A3 recently launched in China with a lot of new features and a huge upgrade over the previous version. The Mi A3 comes with the triple camera setup, glass body and a slightly upgraded processor. The main sensor is a 48MP Sony sensor which can capture really detailed pictures with a wide sensor to capture wide landscapes.
