Mi A3 price (expected)
The price of the Mi A3 smartphone is not known as of now. However, since it is expected to be a variant of the Mi CC9e, we can get an idea about what to expect from the Chinese pricing of the device. In China, the Mi CC9e is available in two storage variants: 4GB RAM/64GB storage, 6GB RAM/64GB storage and 6GB RAM/128GB storage. The base model is priced at CNY 1,299 (roughly Rs 13,000), the middle variant costs CNY 1,399 (roughly Rs 14,000), and the most high-end version of the device bears a price tag of CNY 1,599 (roughly Rs 16,000).

While the company has not mentioned anything about the India launch of Mi A3, we can expect it to be launched as the country is a very important market for Xiaomi.
