Redmi A3

Redmi A3 — what matters when choosing accessories

The Redmi A3 has a flat 6.71-inch IPS LCD display (1650 × 720) with a 90 Hz refresh rate, protected by Gorilla Glass 3. The body measures 168.3 × 76.3 × 8.3 mm and has a plastic frame, while the back — depending on the colour — is glass (199 g) or faux leather (193 g). Its signature feature is the large round island with an 8 MP camera, an auxiliary sensor and an LED flash. The phone charges via USB-C at 10 W (5000 mAh battery), and the 3.5 mm headphone jack is on the top edge.

The glass back is more likely to crack in a fall, so a case is especially useful with this version. The related Redmi A3x has a plastic back — some glass protectors are described as compatible with both models.

Redmi A3 cases — types

• Silicone cases — soft to the touch, in several colours, with a raised lip around the round camera island.
• Rugged cases — thicker corners absorb the energy of a fall and protect the glass back.
• Clear cases — flexible TPU shows the colour and texture of the phone.
• Matte cases — slim back covers that do not collect fingerprints.

Tempered glass and screen films for the Redmi A3

Glass

Black-frame, full-adhesive tempered glass covers the screen edge to edge; versions narrower than the screen do not clash with a case. Hybrid glass is thinner and flexible, and matte privacy glass narrows the viewing angle.

Screen films

You can choose from protective films, anti-glare matte films, hydrogel, ceramic, multi-layer and antibacterial films.

Camera protection

Lens glass matched to the round island protects the camera from scratches caused by keys, coins and sand carried in the same pocket.

What to look for when buying

• Redmi A3 or A3x — choose a case for your specific model; for glass, go by the list of models in the name.
• Reader in the button — screen glass does not affect fingerprint unlocking.
• Charging — you will find a USB-C cable in the USB-A to USB-C cables category.
• Faux leather version — a faux leather back is less slippery and resistant to cracking, but it wears at the edges; a clear or silicone case will limit scuffing.

You will find other models, including the Redmi A2, in the Redmi A Series category.
