Xiaomi, in partnership with Qualcomm, has just announced the Redmi A4 5G at the Indian Mobile Congress (2024) to be the country’s first smartphone powered by the 4nm Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 chip.
This phone is positioned as an entry-level device that combines 5G connectivity and a reasonably good performance together.
Redmi A4 5G specifications:
The phone is built around a 6.7-inch LCD panel with HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. As for the back, the company showcased the phone in two different color options.
While Xiaomi didn’t reveal the full specification of the device, it’s expected to pack a 5000mAh battery and support 18W charging, up from 10W of the Redmi A3.
As mentioned above, the new Snapdragon chip brings a major improvement in performance as compared to the predecessor. To give you an idea, the 4s Gen 2 chip scores over 800 and 1900 in Geekbench single and multi-core tests respectively, which is more than double the scores of the Helio G36 (12nm) of the predecessor.
The 4nm process node also suggests a notable improvement in power efficiency, which should result in a considerable improvement in battery life.
For those interested, the CPU consists of two Cortex-A78 performance cores clocked at up to 2GHz, and six Cortex-A55 efficiency cores clocked at 1.8GHz.
As for the cameras, the rear setup includes a 50MP main camera and an undisclosed secondary sensor, which is also a big jump from the 8MP + 0.08MP rear setup of the predecessor. The main camera should offer reasonably detailed shots in a good lighting condition. There is an 8MP selfie shooter in the front.
Unfortunately, the company did not reveal anything else about the specifications of the device.
Pricing and availability:
While the company didn’t disclose the exact number, they confirmed that it would be priced under Rs 10,000 and would hit the market ‘soon.’
To recall, the Redmi A3 launched back in February this year. So we can expect the successor to launch early next year or even towards the end of this year.
