At today’s event, the Xiaomi spin-off brand revealed the Redmi 7A pricing and availability.
The device is billed to go on sale first in China on Wednesday June 6th, before but will head to other countries in the coming month. The Redmi 7A price in CNY549 ($80) or CNY599 ($86).
The device packs a 4,000 mAh battery that comes with 10W charging, and to justify its pricing, it comes embedded in a polycarbonate body with a single camera with LED flash on the rear, and a 5.45” notchless screen with 18:9 screen and HD+ resolution. There is a fairly large size of bezels on both side, though without the home button.
