From the beginning of this month, Xiaomi India started teasing the arrival of a new smartphone. A new tweet from Manu Kumar Jain, Xiaomi’s Global VP and Managing Director for India reveals that a new Android One phone will launch soon. Last week, citing an undisclosed source Smartprix had claimed Xiaomi will be launching the Xiaomi Mi A3 smartphone on Aug. 23. However, there is no official confirmation on that yet. The Xiaomi Mi A3 is the next Android One-powered smartphone from the Chinese technology conglomerate to launch in India. It will be arriving as the successor to the Xiaomi Mi A2 which launched in India back in 2018.
