Redmi A1 and A1+ debuted in the Indian market last year as the most affordable smartphones from Xiaomi’s spin-off brand. The A1+ later got launched as a rebranded Poco C50 in the country and gained quite some popularity. Now, it appears the brand is ready to bring the next-gen Redmi A2 series smartphones to India, as they have already bagged BIS certification.
Tipster Mukul Sharma has spotted two Redmi smartphones on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website. These devices are said to be the Redmi A2 and Redmi A2+. While the listing did not reveal any specifications of the two smartphones, it does hint at an imminent Indian launch.
Both Redmi A2 and A2+ could launch in the country in a month or two. However, there’s no official confirmation from the brand yet. We might be seeing more budget smartphones from Xiaomi as the brand is reported to put a stronger focus on the entry-level segment where it commands the majority share.
This is because the year 2022 was not very good for the Chinese company as it slipped to the third position in the Indian smartphone market. Samsung managed to take the first spot while Vivo secured the second position.
To recall, the recent Redmi A1+ comes with a 6.52-inch LCD display with an HD+ resolution. Under the hood, the smartphone is powered by the MediaTek Helio A22 SoC paired with up to 3GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard storage.
For photography, the handset has an 8-megapixel primary sensor and a 2-megapixel depth sensor on the rear. The front houses a 5-megapixel selfie camera. It is fueled by a 5,000mAh battery pack that supports 10W charging.
