The Redmi 8A is an upcoming entry-level device expected to launch alongside the Redmi 8. There have been live photo leaks alleged to be of the device but it turns out that they are not of the Redmi 8A. TENAA Images of the Redmi 8A have surfaced and they reveal an entirely different design.
The Redmi 8A will not have dual rear cameras but a single rear camera just like the Redmi 7A, and the Redmi 6A, and the Redmi 5A, etc. The back has actually been redesigned as the camera is now in the middle and not on the left side. Below it is an LED flash which shares the same housing with the sensor. Redmi has given the middle part of the phone a darker shade than the rest of the body which is actually a nice touch. Unfortunately, the Redmi 8A will not have a fingerprint scanner.

TENAA reveals the phone’s model number is M1908C3KE which is similar to that of the one certified by Thailand’s NBTC (M1908C3KG).
Since this is the Redmi 8A, then the live images that leaked back in August most likely are for the Redmi 8 which makes sense since the Redmi 7 has dual rear cameras and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and that phone also has dual cameras and a fingerprint scanner.
We expect TENAA to release the full spec sheet of the Redmi 8A in a few days.
