I have been using the Xiomi A3 since last two weeks. What been said is true, it is an AMOLED display and not super AMOLED like in M30 from Samsung. I went for A3 because of the stock Android + AMOLED display over the M30.
Nokia 6.1 is a fantastic phone and for a genuine pure Android lover, it is the best at the price point with discounts. However, if you wish to have a slightly better viewing experience then don't miss out on A3. Cannot say about it ageing well but you won't have issues for the first three years of ownership. These days most phones do not last more than 3 years any which way, either we ourselves need change or some repeated issues keep cropping up.

Can you please let us know your experience with Mi A3 wrt the screen resolution. That's the only thing that's preventing me from considering it as almost all the online reviews point out pixelation issues in photos, videos and while reading text. Another issue reviews have consistently pointed out is the slowness/misreads from the on screen fingerprint reader. What has been your experience?

1. It is a AMOLED display so 720*1560 pixels. In real world there is not much difference but a super AMOLED is always preferred
2. The finger print scanner takes few milliseconds more than you expect but it won't be a deal breaker for daily usage
3. The screen takes similar milliseconds to react when you take it out in sunlight. AMOLED displays don't like sunlight but again not a deal breaker for what other pros it has
4. At 12999/- I don't think you have a product with stock Android + AMOLED display + 4000 mAh battery. Only thing missing is the fast charger in the box.
5. Closest was Samsung M30 but it does not come with stock Android which was my priority. It has super AMOLED display and fast charging option with 5000 mAh battery

You can wait for the M30 plus or s being launched soon. But being Samsung you won't get stock Android with the phone. Samsung skins are likeable these days but nothing beats an experience of having stock Android. Monthly security updates, quicker Android updates, google updates and support, no pre loaded apps and no ads user interface.

Hi any one has a clue when the Nokia 2720 flip phone will be launched in India.

Or for that matter are there any good flip phones in the market right now?

Thanks

Anyone managed to find a good quality screen protector/glass for the OP7 Pro? The original one started bubbling, so I took it off early on without realizing that replacement ones are hard to come by because of issues with the ultrasound finger sensor.

Any help will be deeply appreciated. Have already scratched it :-(

I do not know the brand name but got one for my OP7 from a local shop. Its a full screen 6d tempered glass, costed me 175 i guess. It has been holding up pretty good so far. Finger sensor has been working without any issues.

I am keeping away from the expensive ones as the experience with these and the cheaper ones has been the same, even the expensive ones get dull and some scratches after 6-7 months of usage.

Visit the local mobile shop and you will have the options to choose from.

Thanks

I am looking for a powerbank, and not able to pick a brand. I had an Aukey which has now popped open after the batteries inside bulged. Searched for Anker, but not finding one. Baseus, USAMS, TOPK are the ones which are listed.

Suggestions on brand please. I use an iPhone

Try Xiaomi. I heard they are good. But I am not entirely sure if it supports Apple devices. All you would need is your iPhone charging cable I believe.

I have 2 Mi power-banks both giving sterling service for last couple of years. I'd highly recommend them especially the newly launched 20,000 mAh Mi 2i with fast-charging support. It's bulky but does the job.

As for supporting Apple devices, it should support given the 18W claim. But better to research to be sure or walk into a retail store.

I am using this one for over an year now...may be around a couple now.

This one is an Mi, 20K mAH powerbank which can roughly charge my iphone at least 7-8 times before going dead. If required, you can charge two devices at once.

Bought the Philips one for iPhone. Has a premium finish, and feels good in the hand. Model number is DLP2711NB. Check it out. I moved from Aukey as well

It is available. Just in a different color

Have the previous generation 10000mAh one which is still good for one and half charges of a 4000mAh Redmi phone.

Picked up a Philips NLP6006 from PayTM. Feels a bit heavy. Was hoping for a flat one, but this has bulged sides. :|
