[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] _mysiak_:
I got the phone for my wife, was playing with it for a few hours and these are my findings and comparison with Mi A1:

- A3 has warm tones, A1 is very cool (haven't noticed it before the comparison)

- night light is fine at minimum intensity or just a tad above, definitely not a red berserk. A1 has strong blue hue even with night light (haven't noticed it before).

- A3 has clearly visible pixels, it's a huge downgrade compared to A1 side by side. BUT, after a while, I did not really mind the pixelation of A3 that much (humans can get used probably to anything).

- without my correction glasses, I strongly prefer A3 display over A1. Something how it's being blurred by my eyes makes AMOLED more comfortable.

- colors are nicer/punchier on A3 (confirmed by my wife too)

- brightness seems to be quite low, for the same perceived level I need to configure A3 ~70%, A1 ~50%. I can't imagine using minimum brightness in real life (the same goes with A1), it's barely visible. Need to compare both phones in strong light / outdoors.

- PWM does not flicker at any brightness level

Overall, I would definitely prefer 1080 AMOLED over 720 AMOLED. 720 AMOLED vs. 1080 LCD is a tough call. I'm still debating myself whether I should switch from A1 to A3. I really like the form factor, responsiveness, absolutely clear audio output, 128gb storage, file based encryption and the feel of A3. Non existing "Mi A3 PRO" (Mi CC9) would be a better choice, though bigger form factor is definitely less comfortable for one hand usage (the main reason why I want to replace A1). Decisions, decisions.. :D

Stop giving reviews after "playing a few hours" with the gadget. Your wife will be blind soon, but then you will not update your review. This phone can cause blindness. You have been warned.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] _mysiak_:
:D Oookey..well noted, thanks! I will update the review as soon as she's blind.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] bibekmufc:
Lmao this guy man. He's been spreading literally nothing but hate on every thread. What a sad little man.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] GuestK00447:
Don't listen to ppl trying to downplay this issue, or you end up with a smartphone that has the worst display in the history and eye damage.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] _mysiak_:
Dude, I had even "worse" display few years back (Huawei P1) - pentile AMOLED with 256ppi (vs. 286ppi on A3). I was using it for about 2 years and I did not go blind. Don't generalize your personal health issues, there are thousands of A3 phones in use, yet I found only ONE health complaint. If it was that serious as you claim, some people couldn't pass the opportunity for a nice law suite. It should be a no-brainer to prove it.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] GuestK00447:
You are throwing around numbers and comparing. I am giving first hand experience. Again, I have to repeat myself, there is something very wrong with this display, maybe the combination pwm+pentile+low resolution+something else? that is causing massive eye strain.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] _mysiak_:
And again, PWM+pentile+low resolution was standard for years. It is still common even today, even if not to that much extent (thankfully). I wouldn't comment if I did not have first hand experience as well. I understand that you are having serious issues, I don't deny it. Every person is unique, so maybe the "something else" is your sight. But please understand that this is not a wide spread problem. Sell the phone and buy IPS LCD (Motorola One Vision, Nokia 7.1/7.2,..), you'll be much happier with their screen.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] bibekmufc:
we have this phone too. We don't have these issues. Go get your eyes checked and stop being an arse about it on every thread. Ffs
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] :
We are like guinea-pigs, they throw new stuff at us without any health warning. After this experience I really start to worry about the 5G rumors, that the frequencies can cause health issues.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] _mysiak_:
And what about those chemtrails and fluoride and vaccines and inside jobs and NWO and ... :silly:

But seriously, what new stuff? PWM? Been around for more than a decade. Pentile AMOLED? Been around pretty much since start of AMOLEDs, just read the history and reasoning for it. Low resolution? 720p was considered high res not that long time ago. Honestly, no idea what is new about this phone/display.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] LeoCbs:
I know what's wrong!!

Your eyes, get checked ASAP.

The display is OK! Besides low max brightness.

Even that "yellowish tone", is so easy on my eyes.

Really don't listen to that guy.

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] J0shimi:
Coming from my Mi A1 this phone is miles ahead of it, sure the fingerprint scanner isn't nearly as snappy but I soon got used to it, the screen quality and colour is also miles ahead of the Mi A1, battery life is also significantly better from the 720p screen.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] antoine62:
Is the screen really bad like some people say? Or i can still use it during a long time without issue?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] J0shimi:
It's the internet, people are massively exaggerating the 'issue'. I picked my A3 for about $160, phenomenal value for money, zero issues with the screen, in fact I far prefer it to the dull and washed out looking screen on my Mi A1.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] antoine62:
I'm currently use a phone with a 480p screen, i can see the pixel when im 30cm away from the screen, So i think i will have no issue
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] v:
I couldn't agree more!

When I got my first 1080p phone a couple of years ago (HTC One M7) I wondered why someone wanted such a high res in a phone. This phone can display crisp characters so small that you can barely read it with a magnifying glass. I never had real life use for this feature.

The same is true for the A3 display.

Even if I set the smallest font in system settings, display quality of everything is crisp and clear from typical viewing distance of 34cm ~16”.

This even holds true if I move the device up to the smallest distance my eyes allow me to see without blur, 20cm ~ 8”. (My vision is fine. 110%/120%, checked recently.)

I respect other people’s buying criteria, but for me the A3 screen nothing short of perfection.

However we live in a world where people purchase 1500$ phones for prestige or would only consider 4K displays state of the art.

All that’s fine. As for me is the A3 display.

For the money saved on phones, I purchase Marshall Tube Amps and Gibson Flying-Vs.

;)

Yes, I’m screwed.

The A3 is not.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] barth2:
When I put the A3 next to my brother's Samsung S7 which has a 1440p, I can see his is crisper and text looks more fine. But the Samsung probably has a better panel overall and not just higher pixel density.

So I think it's more than whether you can see pixel or not. If you look at eink displays, the kind used by Kindle e-readers, it's impossible to see individual pixels without magnification regardless of resolution. However, there's a definite difference going from 167dpi of the first Kindle to the typical 300dpi today, even though contrast has barely improved.

That said, I'll take the A3 over even a very good LCD with >300ppi like the iPhone XR. I just like the look of OLED, even though I know the A3 colors aren't true to life. I guess I can't use the phone for web work or to shop for clothes :)
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] debido666:
Personally, the res is fine. It's the over saturated colors (mostly red-orange) that bother me a little.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] VishZigma:
Okay these are my thoughts on the display quality of this phone. First, my phone before this was the redmi note 7 and the transition from that phone to this when looking at the display, one requires to get used to the 720p display. But after a about a month of using his phone I have gotten used to it. Besides the storage is ufs 2.1 and so far there has been no lags.The camera is also phenomenal compared the redmi and I'd take Android one over miui anyday. Only thing missing from this is the one handed Mode but compared to screen size it's hardly a requirement. With the battery life,storage speed and every thing else you get over miui based devices I think this device is very much worth the price
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] shubh096:
I like the small form factor. Currently using note5 pro with pixel experience installed 2 days ago.

I do feel smartphones should be used minimally (4-5hr SOT in a day or less ).

I am planning to buy A3.

I don't mind 720p pentile matrix, and i know there's are 10% chances of A4 getting SD730/730G with 4500mah and 6" FHD amoled under 14k.

So A3 is a good choice& decently fast for normal user.

But slow fingerprint is something iam worried about.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] v:
I had the A3 and really liked it.

Fingerprint reader speed was never an issue for me IMHO.

Now I use the Pixel 3a as its camera image quality is significantly superior for my use.

After switching to Pixel, I noticed the FPR on the back is my preferred option.

I find it a tad more convenient. But not to the point that I'd rule out the A3.

If the Pixel wouldn't have been part of my new contract, I'd be perfectly happy with the A3.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] Raffhell:
Yeah, the HD on 6'' could be slightly annoying to see...

I "fixed it" setting the min width in dev tools from 423dp to 390dp (the same I had on the xperia x compact, which is 4,7''). No more red-dots-on-black or strange borders on icons. Or you can try to tweak display size options instead.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] hajdudu123:
I bought this phone 4 days ago, and the display is great. You can not see the individual pixels. It's very crisp, and the colors are amazing !

The best phone i've had ever. And it's so damn cheap !
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] tomiasx22:
I know that in Android One by default Hight Brightness Mode is blocked, but is it possible to fix this by any Magisk module, etc. ?

In full sun on my Redmi 5 I could clearly see everything, on Mi A3 screen is still too dimmed..

Applications on Google Play doesn't work with this phone (of course rooted).
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] foma2805:
I **** 1080p panels, xiaomi knew why 720p display is used in A3. Who search for visible pixels, find them. But I don't search for them, I prefer battery backup, game performance.... it wasn't that long ago when Nokia 5110 with 84x48 panel was all around hit... nobody complain that pixels are visible. what was so dramatically changed that 720p is "out"? nothing, people are pampered. that's all. I am glad this amoled panel was used...
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] marstonpear:
I'm an ex-pilot so I got great vision. No, you can not count the pixels one by one unless you are a dumbass who is using your phone 2 inches from your face and in that case you will be able to count pixels on every phone. Only issue I have with the display is that rounded corners look like they've been sandpapered lol. Screen brightness is higher than my old Pixel 3a.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] cheapskank:
you can't see pixels but fonts are blurry and that kind of hurts my eyes. i have an ok 1080 lcd screen on my old phone. Colors and brightness is better on mi a3 for sure but i can clearly see blurry fonts on mi a3 sadly compared to the old phone. I cant complain much, got mi a3 for 150$ but in hindsight i should've paid 50$ more for something with a 1080p display
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] marstonpear:
I don't have blurry text issues on the stock font.

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] :
Samsung has the best displays, that is my experience.

Second only to Krone W48
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] _mysiak_:
Xiaomi Mi A3 uses Samsung display. [emoji6] Samsung ones are hardly "the best" as majority of their panels use PWM dimming. But they are certainly the most popular, used by majority of phone manufacturers.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] :
Samsung smartphones have best displays IMO. If A3 uses samsung manufactured display, then this is good example how a ****ty company can fcuk up a product even with good components.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] _mysiak_:
It's just a good example showing how naive and stupid some consumers are, making incorrect general assumptions and jumping to wrong conclusions. But well, to each his own I guess.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] :
Yes some consumers are stupid and naive. But this is not an example of this, quite the opposite.

What I see is that your comment could be used as an example of a specific behaviour .

Ps: this is forum about smartphones and stuff, if you want discuss consumer behaviour or other topics, PM me ...
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] _mysiak_:
Are you embarrassed for your opinions if you want to take it "offline"? [emoji846] Nah, I'm good. Have fun with the best display in the whole wide world (unless it's in Xaiomi phone).
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] m4tt94:
I’ll make a short review of this display.

First, the elephant in the room: the 720p pentile. I have nothing against a 720p display, it looks fine, but this one is also pentile. That means it only has two thirds of the subpixel of an lcd. Accounting for the eye being more sensitive to green, the perceived resolution is of around 240dpi, which is about the same as my previous “tinkering” phone, the Moto e2. The usual pentile artifacts are present: solid colors have a texture to them (basically the door effect), UI elements sometimes have a green and purple halo to them. Fonts are surprisingly well antialiased, they don’t seem to have halos or other weird problems (just, again, the door effect). What’s truly bad is the bottom screen corners. They’re aliased, artifacted and plain old ugly. They give a feeling of cheapness and lack of attention for details. It could’ve been solved with a software overlay, like many other phones do.

In the end, I’m happy with this screen for 130€. The problems are there, but they aren’t dealbreakers. For 250€ I’d be seriously pissed thought.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] neoxcool:
haha ... :laugh:

But still Dark visibility (Night Photos using Gcam) is unmatched. Not as sharp or as detailed as resent 64MP sensors but it sees more in the darkness (Compared to note 9 pro max) albeit with more sensor noise. When you consider it's price and hardware features ... nothing comes close. My 2 cents.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] ollie2012:
What version of GCAM are you using?

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] gamernayeem:
which magisk module?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] tomiasx22:
I don't know... this was a question from me...

Equivalent for chineese market (Mi CC9e) have this feature by default enabled... so hardware is enough to set higher level of brightness.

Maybe android 10 update will bring this feature? What do you think?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review] gamernayeem:
Dont think we are getting this feature, i heard it somewhere that all the android one rom is the same

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xboxhaxorz:
i copied the sounds folder to the root of windows, but havent found a way to use them from sound notifications
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kwickone:
That is strange. Once in the Windows directory, you should just be able to go to Settings>Personal>Sounds and Notifications.

Select the 2nd tab on bottom. For each item (e.g., Incoming email..) you can select a sound from the pull down. All sounds from the Windows directory should be listed there. If not, maybe it is a format issue (e.g., wma vs wav vs mp3).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xboxhaxorz:
maybe i need to rename the folder? i copied the folder, should i copy the rings directly to the win directory not in a folder?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lordsinasina:
for incoming call ringtone the file should be in wmv format and can be everywhere even in storage card..
