Last month, Xiaomi debuted the Redmi A1 in India. It is the company’s second smartphone running Android Go after the Redmi Go from 2019.

For the past few weeks, there have been multiple leaks on a plus variant of A1. This handset dubbed Redmi A1+ is now sort of official in Kenya.

The official social media handles of Xiaomi Kenya are teasing the arrival of the Redmi A1 Plus in the country on October 7. However, the phone is already up for sale on Jumia.

Redmi A1 Plus Specifications

Just like the leaks suggested, the Remdi A1+ is the same as the Redmi A1. The only difference is the presence of a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor.

Hence, the device sports a 6.52-inch display with a resolution of 1600 x 720 pixels (HD+) and a dewdrop notch. The 20:9 panel offers support for 120Hz touch sampling rate, 400 nits peak brightness level, and 70% of the NTSC color gamut.

The phone is powered by a MediaTek Helio A22 chipset paired with LPDDR4x RAM and eMMC 5.1 storage. It boots Android 12 Go Edition and draws power from a 5,000mAh battery that supports 10W wired charging.

The handset has an 8MP rear camera assisted by a 0.3MP depth sensor and a 5MP camera on the front. The connectivity options on it include dual-SIM, 4G, single-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, GNSS, and a MicroUSB port. The device also offers a dedicated MicroSD card slot and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Last but not least, the Redmi A1+ measures 164.9 x 76.5 x 9.1mm in dimensions, weighs 192g, and arrives in three color options (black, blue, and green).
