The latest addition to the Redmi phone lineup is the new Redmi A2 series in India. This consists of the Redmi A2 and the A2+, succeeding the Redmi A1 series from last year, and falls in the really affordable price segment. Have a look at the price, features, and more.
Redmi A2 Series: Specs and Features
The Redmi A2 and the Redmi A2+ look a lot like the Redmi A1 and the Redmi A1+, respectively, and come with a leather-finish back panel, which houses a fingerprint scanner too. But, this is restricted to the Redmi A2+. The phones are scratch and splash resistant. There are three color options to choose from, namely, Sea Green, Calming Aqua Blue, and Classic Black.
The phones feature the same 6.52-inch HD+ display as the predecessors. The LCD IPS display supports a 120Hz touch sampling rate and 400 nits of brightness. The difference is in the chipset; the new Redmi A2 and the A2+ are powered by the MediaTek Helio G36 SoC as opposed to the Helio A22. The devices come equipped with up to 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. There’s a virtual RAM option too for up to 3GB of extra RAM.
The camera department has 8MP AI dual rear cameras and a 5MP selfie shooter. You get to try features like portrait mode, time-lapse, and much more. The Redmi A2 series is backed by a 5,000mAh with a 10W charger. Both run Android 13 Go Edition.
Additional details include FM Radio support (which is soon to become a necessity for smartphones in India), a 3.5mm audio jack, a memory card slot, dual SIM card slots, a Micro-USB port (which is disappointing), and much more.
