The Redmi 7A is launching in India tomorrow, and
while Xiaomi India's MD Manu Jain has previously said that Indian units will
get a "MASSIVE feature", he hasn't divulged any details about what it
will actually be. However, one of Jain's latest tweets leads us to believe that
this massive boost could be the Snapdragon 730 SoC replacing the Snapdragon 439
of the original version.
But, if we take a look at the Redmi 7A's event page
on the company's official India site, it says that Indian variant is powered by
Snapdragon 439 SoC and not 730. So, could there be a Pro variant of the Redmi
7A having Snapdragon 730 SoC at the helm? Well, we will have to wait until
tomorrow to see if that's the case.
That said, we did get confirmation of another change
- while the original version of the Redmi 7A comes with a 13MP rear camera, the
Indian unit will have it replaced by a 12MP Sony IMX486 sensor. And there won't
be a dual camera setup as we hoped earlier.
The rest of the specs are likely to remain same, but
again, considering how Jain's touting a "massive" feature for the
Indian variant that "everyone loved about the Redmi Note 7 and Mi
A2", we are quite curious to know what this is going to be.
