Xiaomi has scheduled an event on August 21 to announce the new Mi A3 for the Indian market. However, ahead of the official launch, Amazon India let the secret out with the product listing, revealing the price of the smartphone. It is quite interesting as the phone was even listed before Xiaomi officially announce it in India. As per the listing, the Mi A3 will be priced at Rs 14,998 for the base variant. Upon clicking on the listing, the ‘Join Wishlist’ option shows up.
According to the listing base variant of the Xiaomi Mi A3 with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage costs Rs 14,998, while the 6GB of RAM and 128GB internal storage is listed with Rs 17,498. The phone is listed with three colour options: Not Just Blue, More Than White and Kind of Grey, and all the colours will be available in two variants- 4GB RAM + 64GB storage and 6GB RAM + 128GB storage.
Note that these are not the official prices of the Xiaomi Mi A3, and the product pages are accidentally made live before the actual launch. While we do have all reasons to believe the listing on a credible source, Xiaomi may or may not select to price the phone differently at the time of launch on August 21.
