Xiaomi will launch the Redmi 7A any moment from now in India. The company’s India arm is already teasing the launch of the smartphone. Xiaomi India head Manu Kuma Jain has been sharing several promotional tweets of the Redmi 7A India debut and the promo materials contain several key data about the Redmi A series that we are just getting to know for the first time. 
The Redmi A series began with the Redmi 4A which was first launched in China in November 2016. Xiaomi then announced the budget device for the Indian market in March 2017. Since then, the Redmi 5A and 6A have been launched and according to IDC, the series have gross over 23.6 million units in sales as at April 2019. As a comparison, Xiaomi drew our attention to the fact that the figure is the same as Australia’s population based on the country’s 2014 census.
Mr Jain also cited IDC’s monthly smartphone tracker for April 2019 to press home the point that the Redmi A series has been a very popular one. The report revealed that the Redmi 5A and Redmi 6A both control a 48% market share in the $75 to $100 price segment. That is almost half of the market share in that price segment.
Now the Redmi 7A is also on its way, we expect the device to perform even better than its predecessors. The Redmi 7A doesn’t even look like a budget phone and Xiaomi has hinted that the India version will even have a new feature.
