Xiaomi has officially introduced the Redmi A3 smartphone which is said to be very cost-effective. The design of the phone includes a leather-like finish on the back, a large display with a 90 Hz refresh rate and it operates on the Android 14 operating system.
The Redmi A3 features a Helio G36 chipset, the same as the predecessor A2. However, the RAM options for the A3 are 3 GB, 4 GB, or 6 GB, which is an upgrade from the 2/3/4 GB options of its predecessor. This upgrade allowed Xiaomi to transition the A3 to the full Android 14, instead of the Android 13 Go edition which powered its predecessors.
The Redmi A3 comes with a 6.71” LCD with HD+ resolution. It has a 90 Hz refresh rate and is protected with Gorilla Glass 3. The fingerprint sensor is embedded on the side, on top of the power key. Additionally, the panel has a waterdrop notch for the 5 MP selfie camera.
The phone is equipped with two rear cameras – an 8 MP main camera and an auxiliary snapper which isn’t detailed in the specs sheet. The phone also includes an LED flash.
The battery has a capacity of 5,000 mAh and supports 10W charging through the USB-C port. It also features a 3.5 mm audio jack.
