A new Xiaomi device was certified by China’s
Compulsory Certification Agency (CCC) and it's shaping up to be the successor
to last year’s Xiaomi Mi A2 lite (Redmi 6 Pro). It has the M1906F9SG model and
will likely follow last year’s naming strategy appearing as the Redmi 7 Pro in
China and India while international users will get it as the stock
Android-running Mi A3 Lite.
While the listing did not confirm much we did get
confirmation that the phone will come with a 5V/2A 10W charger. Speculations
point to a Snapdragon 710 or 712 SoC and triple camera setup with a 48MP main
shooter.
The phone is also expected to come with a 3,300 mAh
battery which would be a significant drop from the Redmi 6 Pro’s 4,000 mAh
cell.
Last year’s device started at INR 10,999 (US$ 158) for
the entry-level 3/32GB model so we can expect a similar pricing this time
around. Given the certification, we should be hearing more about the Redmi 7
Pro/ Mi A3 Lite in the coming weeks.
