The Redmi 7A has finally made its way to India, as
the company officially introduced it to the local audience today. It's priced
at INR 5,999 (US$ 85/€ 75) for the 2GB/16GB variant and INR 6,199 (US$ 90/€ 80) for the
2GB/32GB model.
The 7A will be offered in three colors - Matte
Black, Matte Blue, and Matte Gold. It will go on sale in India from July 11 and
will be sold for INR 200 (US$ 3/€ 3) less this month. It will be available through
Mi.com, Flipkart and Mi Home stores, and will come with a two-year warranty.
The Indian Redmi 7A is powered by Snapdragon 439
SoC, and not the Snapdragon 730 as a Manu Jain tweet led us to believe. The
promised "massive" new feature is that unlike the Chinese variant
that has a 13MP main camera, the Indian unit comes with a 12MP Sony IMX486
sensor which is the same camera found on the Mi A2 and the Indian Redmi Note 7.
The 7A's Indian variant also has a dedicated slot
for a microSD card which allows storage expansion by up to 256GB, but rest of
the hardware of the Indian unit remains the same as the Chinese version - it
comes with a 5.45" HD+ LCD, 5MP selfie camera, splash-proof design, and a
4,000 mAh battery.
