Xiaomi Mi A3, Mi A3 Lite could reportedly come with Snapdragon 700-series SoC

Xiaomi’s Mi A-series lineup is different from the rest of its devices in that the Mi A-series comes with a clean, stock Android UI while the rest of them run on the proprietary, ad-supported MIUI skin. The Mi A2 (Review) is the latest phone in the series and now Xiaomi is gearing up for the launch of the **Mi A3** . [caption id=“attachment_4812771” align=“alignnone” width=“1280”] Xiaomi Mi A2.[/caption] XDA-Developers’ Editor-in-chief Mishaal Rahman has tweeted out that this year’s Mi A3 and also Mi A3 Lite will be powered by Snapdragon 700-series chipsets. He is, however, not clear on which SD 700 platform the phones will run on. We have seen the **Snapdragon 730 chipset** launch recently and it seems to be the most likely contender here.  Even so, Rahman believes that Mi A3 could come with perhaps SD 710 or SD 712.

All 3 should be SDM7XX series. Which one (710/712) I can't say for sure yet.

The Mi A3 Lite could be sporting a Snapdragon 632 SoC like the one seen on the Redmi Y3 (Review) and **Redmi 7** **(Review)**   smartphones. There was no Mi A2 Lite last time around as the device was launched as the Redmi 6 Pro. We should have more information about the device as more leaks make their way through to us. Earlier reports have indicated three Mi A-series devices are in the pipeline. As per the report, Xiaomi is currently  hardware testing three phones which are codenamed “pyxis”, “bamboo_sprout”, and “cosmos_sprout. Interestingly, the new smartphones are said to be have in-display fingerprint sensors.
