The Redmi 8A will come with a 6.2-inch HD+ teardrop notch with a 19:9 aspect ratio. There is no confirmation on the processor but speculations suggest a Snapdragon 439 SoC. The big bump will be on the battery side though as a 5,000 mAh cell should make this an endurance beast in combination with the HD+ screen. In the camera department, this phone has a 12MP rear camera and an 8MP front camera.
The other interesting aspect should be pricing, as it is always with Xiaomi. The Redmi 7A costs Rs 5,999 (∼$84). The handset will compete with the likes of the Realme C2 in the same bracket. The Redmi 8A is said to come in three variants- 2GB+16GB, 3GB+32GB and 4GB+64GB. This smartphone will have up to eight colours including black, red, blue, pink, white, green, purple and gray.
