Traces of a new Android One device have been discovered in Xiaomi's MIUI 10 firmware. The phone could be the Mi A3—or something completely unexpected. It will apparently also have support for NFC, which would make it the first Xiaomi Android One phone to do so.

Any chance for smth like Mi Note A3?
IPS, plastic or metal body, 660-710 cpu but OIS camera
Yup, codename atleast leading to think it's new A (Android One) phone from Xiaomi.
SoC very likely stay on 600 series, SD67x could be as upgrade (in terms of everything) to current SD660.
NFC on it, hmm will be much expensive than current A2 devices, and maybe Xiaomi won't release "Lite" version this time.
My personal wishlist for Xiaomi A3:
FHD+ IPS screen (better quality than on current A2 devices, seriously...)
4-6GB RAM, 64-128GB UFS (not EMMC!)
SD670 or SD675 SoC, 700 series would do device too expensive.
4000mAh battery, like A2 "lite" version has now.
