Xiaomi holds the pole position for the best smartphone brand in India and well, it’s been holding that title for nearly two years now. This is a huge achievement made possible by the influx of new and powerful smartphones in every price category. Ranging from Redmi Go to Redmi Note 7 Pro, Xiaomi offers a ton of options to all types of buyers.

Redmi 7A has been priced starting at Rs 5,999 for the 2GB+16GB base variant whereas you will have to shell out Rs 6,199 for the 2GB+32GB variant. Redmi 7A will be available in 3 color variants, namely Matte Black, Matte Blue, and Matte Gold.

As one expects from the entry-level segment, Redmi 7A boasts a polycarbonate build with a matte finish for better grip and in-hand feel. There’s a single rear camera (which we will talk about below) and no fingerprint scanner on this device.

The Redmi 7A sports a 5.45-inch HD+ IPS LCD panel, with an 18:9 aspect ratio and 1440x720p resolution. There are huge bezels around the screen here, which is acceptable on a device in this price segment. It has TÜV Rheinland certification and p2i nano-coating for splash protection as well, which sounds great.

Redmi 7A runs Android 9 Pie-based MIUI 10 out-of-the-box and also houses a massive 4,000mAh battery with support for 10W charging (5W charger included in box). This battery is 33% larger than its predecessor, the Redmi 6A. It has a triple-slot SIM tray, with a dedicated memory card slot(expandable up to 256GB) and wireless FM radio.
