After a highly active first half of 2019, where Xiaomi launched several smartphones in India like the Redmi Note 7 series and the Redmi Go, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer celebrated its five years in the country by launching the first flagship smartphone under its Redmi sub-brand – the Redmi K20 Pro, among many other devices. Now, the company is set to launch another phone in the country on August 21. Xiaomi has already confirmed that it will unveil the Mi A3 – a successor to the Mi A2 – in India on Tuesday. Just like its predecessors, the phone will come with Google's Android One program which means that it will not run MIUI software like most Xiaomi phones and there will be no Ads.

Also, as the phone has already been launched in the international market, few other features are already known. However, the Indian variant might come with some tweak.
