According to RF certification on Xiaomi’s website, this phone is the Redmi 8A Pro. It is the first time that a smartphone in the Redmi A series will be having a Pro version. While an initial viral screenshot of Xiaomi’s website shows the “Redmi 8A Pro” as one of the devices with RF Certification, it appears that this device has been expunged from the list.
The details of the Redmi 8A Pro are still unknown. However, considering the positioning of the Redmi A-series, this device should not cost more than 1,000 yuan ($140). It is worth mentioning that the Redmi 8A Chinese version has been approved by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The smartphone may be officially unveiled in October.
