Just got the Mi A3
Where can I find simple to follow tutorials for rooting, enabling hotspot via root and gcam? Also what else is recommended to do.

Rooting:
Turn off the phone, press power and volume down button to enter the fastboot mode.
Download minimal adb fastboot (google) . Plug your phone in. Type fastboot oem unlock
Download twrp for mi A3 from xda. Flash twrp with fastboot flash boot {twrp file name}
Turn on your phone normally. Download magisk zip file from the official xda thread, copy it to your phone. Turn off your phone. Turn it on again while pressing vol up + power to enter recovery mode (twrp). Flash your magisk

thank you!

enabling hotspot via root
No hotspot by default? Usually all android phones including below 5$, have this by default.

His may be carrier disabled. Mine has it working out of the box.

TBH, i didn't know. Carriers block hotspot feature? Why do they do that? Inorder to stop misusing unlimited connection? We don't see anything like that here.

It has it, been a few years but used to be able to enable it via root if carrier had it blocked, which mine does.

That's terrible. I didn't know that things like this exists. We can't share our data that we payed for. Hope this doesn't reach in my country. 😅

Is the screen too bad (720p)?
1
IMHO, it's not even bad.

How about reading experience for longer time (e-book, PDF etc)?

not read anything on it yet, I do use mobile devices to read comics, I will report back to you.

I will eagerly wait for your feedback.

Coming from a cheap prepaid phone, I have no complaints, if you are used to 1080p you may not like it.

Not at all. Maybe of I put the phone right up to my face and really strain I can see a little pixelation, but at normal viewing distances it's imperceptible.

Don't want to be a dick but maybe google would help?

Did some googling, and I'm also asking the community....dick.

Lol this is what I get

Also your questions are straightforward. Do you really want someone to repeat the same answer they find/learn from a Google search

Hey, I'm gonna get a Mi A3 as well, but since you have yours already, tell me what do you think about the headphone jack audio quality. Plz. I've tried the Mi A2's already and it's bad to say the least.

But it has a dongle from usb type-c to 3.5mm jack, and that's what I used

Haven't tried it yet.

Update: I'm not an audiophile but listened to some music on my Sony ear buds no noticable difference in sound quality or volume than when I hook them up to my laptop or another device.
