I have talked about the launch of the Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro in my last post, but another phone was also made official on stage the same day – the Xiaomi Redmi 7A. Although the phone initially introduce several days earlier, but now we are familiar with the pricing and availability dates as well. This pot contain some important information about the Xiaomi Redmi 7A – full specs, features, price and release date.
Xiaomi Redmi 7A Features
The Xiaomi Redmi 7A comes with a 5.45 display with notchless 18:9 screen and HD+ resolution. The top bezel has room to accommodate an earpiece, proximity sensor, and a 5MP selfie camera, while the bottom is occupied by the Redmi logo. On the back, you will find a single 13MP camera with LED flash. The phone does not have fingerprint scanners.
The Redmi 7A sports a Snapdragon 439 chipset and two internal storage options – 16GB or 32GB. The storages can be expanded further up to 256GB via a microSD slot. The Redmi 7A comes with MIUI 10, based on Android Pie, and supports tow SIM cards, although the second goes in a hybrid slot.
One big advantage of the Xiaomi Redmi 7A is its 4000mAh battery with 10W charging support, which doubles the rate of its predecessor – the Redmi 6A. Other connectivity features include Dual 4G VoLTE, Bluetooth 5.0, and there is a 3.5 mm audio jack.
Xiaomi Redmi 7A Price and Availability
Available in either black or blue colours, the Xiaomi Redmi 7A price is just CNY549 ($80) or CNY599 ($86). It will be available for purchase from next week Wednesday being June 6th 2019 with China being its first market. We are expecting the Redmi 7A to hit the global market in the following month or two from now.
