The Redmi A3, an upcoming entry-level smartphone, has been steadily acquiring certifications, with the latest approval coming from the UAE’s TDRA authority. With several certifications already secured, it suggests that the official launch of the A3 is imminent, possibly within the next few weeks. The above screenshot reveals that the Xiaomi device with the 23129RN51X model number will be dubbed the Redmi A3 when it debuts in the UAE. The device has also been approved by other certification platforms, such as Thailand’s NBTC, Singapore’s IMDA, Indonesia’s TKDN and SDPPI, and Europe’s EEC.
The Indian edition of the Redmi A3, which
bears the 23129RN51H model number, was certified by the country’s BIS authority
in December. Unfortunately, none of these certifications have shed concrete
details about the core specs of the device. The moniker of the device suggests
that it will succeed the Redmi A2, which went official in March 2023.
Therefore, it is likely that the A3 may debut in Q1 of this year. Here’s a look
at what was made available on the A2.
The Redmi A2 has a 6.52-inch IPS LCD panel
with a waterdrop-notch design. It offers an HD+ resolution and a 60Hz refresh
rate. On the front, it has a 5-megapixel camera, and its back panel has an
8-megapixel dual-camera system. Under the hood, the Redmi A2 features the Helio
G36 chip, 3 GB of RAM, 64 GB of storage, and a 5,000mAh battery with 10W
charging via a microUSB port. The device runs on Android 13 Go edition and
offers a microSD card slot for additional storage. It comes in multiple shades,
such as Aqua Blue, Classic Black, and Sea Green. In India, the device is
currently available with a starting price of Rs 5,299 (US$ 64).
