In the past few weeks, there were several leaks about the Xiaomi Mi A3 without any official confirmation from the company. But now, Xiaomi took to twitter to officially tease the new Android One lineup saying “The world’s best selling Android One series is back”.

In a second tweet, Xiaomi further confirmed that the phone will be camera centric, stating that it has incredible front as well as rear cameras.

The timing is actually quite perfect. Just a few hours ago, we exclusively revealed that the Xiaomi Mi A3 was going to be a rebranded version of Mi CC9e model. We also added that the company was already stocking up the phone for supply and an official launch was very near. So, this is actually in line with the information we received.

What’s even more interesting is the fact that Xiaomi replied to an year-old tweet from Unbox Therapy saying that the Mi A3 would offer better value for money. It even tweeted back at CNET’s review from last year saying ‘Wait until you get your first look at the A3’.

This is also in line with what we said in our previous article. Our source had revealed that the Mi A3 4GB+64GB model could start around $199, offering better value than its predecessor which started at around $235.

Also, if the Mi A3 is really the CC9e, then the phone will feature the Snapdragon 665 processor, with a large 4000mAh battery, 32MP Front camera, and a 48MP triple camera rear setup. These specs definitely offer amazing value for a $200 device.

Since Xiaomi has started teasing the Mi A3, expect to get more official information in the coming days. Stay tuned!
