Following its unveiling at the India Mobile Congress (IMC) 2024, Xiaomi has locked in a launch date for the budget-focused Redmi A4 5G. The phone is now confirmed to launch in India on November 20th.
The confirmation comes alongside details on availability, key specifications, and a price point that reinforces the phone’s budget positioning. The Redmi A4 5G will be available for purchase via Xiaomi’s official site and Amazon.
Redmi A4 Specifications
As for the specs, the Redmi A4 5G is set to run on the Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 SoC. In fact, its the world’s first phone to feature this chip. It also supports 5G connectivity, making it the first in the Redmi A series to support 5G.
On the front, it features a large 6.88-inch display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, while the back will be home to a dual-camera setup led by a 50-megapixel sensor.
All this will be powered by a hefty 5,160mAh battery with support for fast charging. Leaks suggest 18W wired charging might be on the table. The phone is expected to run Android 14 with Xiaomi’s custom HyperOS 1.0 skin on top.
An 8-megapixel front camera is also a possibility, along with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and a USB Type-C port for charging and data transfer.
The main draw of the Redmi A4 will be its affordable price. Xiaomi has confirmed it will be priced under Rs. 10,000 in India, and reports suggest a possible starting price of Rs. 8,499 for the base variant (4GB RAM and 128GB storage), including bank and launch offers among other discounts.
The Redmi A4 5G offers major upgrades over the A3 4G, including 5G connectivity, a faster refresh rate, and a more powerful processor. While the A3 4G was limited to a 60Hz refresh rate and an entry-level chipset with 4G support, the A4 5G sets a new benchmark in the affordable 5G market. It delivers improved performance and modern features without a significant price increase.
