Xiaomi is one of the current queens of the mid-range. The company has interesting proposals for all types of users, to which the Xiaomi Mi A3 and Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite have recently joined. Devices are two sides of the same coin. They coincide in numerous benefits, finding few differences between them. We can say that the Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite has everything that the Mi A3 lacked at the time.
This translates into a larger and higher resolution panel, a more powerful processor, and 6GB RAM instead of four. The terminal also comes with Android 9 Pie under MIUI, the company's customization layer, and a more current design on its back, with a logo that lights up the moment a notification arrives. If you want to know what is different between these two models, do not stop reading.

Design and display
One of the main differences between the Xiaomi Mi A3 and Mi A9 Lite is found in the size of the screen. The Mi A3 landed with a 6.088-inch AMOLED panel and HD + resolution of 1,560 x 720 pixels. The Mi A9 Lite now has a screen, also AMOLED, but 6.39 inches and FullHD + resolution (2,340 x 1,080 pixels). In addition, it is reinforced by the Corning Gorilla Glass 5 system, which makes it more resistant to shocks and falls.
Although the design remains. Both devices have an all-screen front with a water-shaped notch, slightly rounded edges and a clean and neat back, the A9 Lite presents a detail that makes it evolve in this regard. The new Xiaomi model lights up the logo at the time of receiving a notification, be it the notice of a call, message or update. In this way, we will know if someone has contacted us when we have the mobile face down. Also, in terms of dimensions, the Mi A3 is somewhat less thick and heavy: 153.4 x 71.8 x 8.4 mm and 174 grams of weight vs the 156.8 x 74.5 x 8.67 mm and 179 grams of the Mi A9 Lite.
