Xiaomi’s upcoming budget smartphone, the Redmi A5, has cleared India’s BIS certification (model 25028RN03I), alongside its rebranded variant POCO C71 (25028PC03I), signaling an imminent launch in the Indian market this month. The devices, previously mistaken for Redmi 14 4G and POCO M7 4G, have also secured FCC and EEC certifications, confirming their global rollout plans.
Unlike the Redmi A4 5G, the Redmi A5 is anticipated to offer 4G connectivity, Wi-Fi 5 with dual-band support, Bluetooth, and optional NFC, and run on Android 15 with HyperOS 2.0. Storage configurations are likely to include 3GB/64GB, 4GB/64GB, 4GB/128GB, and 6GB/128GB variants.
The Redmi A4 5G featured a 6.88-inch LCD with a 120Hz refresh rate, HD+ resolution, and a Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 processor. It housed a 50MP primary rear camera, a 5MP front camera, and a 5,160mAh battery supporting 18W fast charging. The device also included a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, 3.5mm headphone jack, FM Radio, and ran on Android 14 with HyperOS.
Given these specifications, the Redmi A5 is expected to maintain a similar display size and refresh rate, possibly with a downgrade in processing power. The camera capabilities are expected to remain the same or receive a minor upgrade. As a rebrand of the Redmi A5, the POCO C71 is also anticipated to share these features.
In other news, Realme is set to launch the C75x in Malaysia after its C75 debut in Vietnam. The phone, spotted in Malaysia’s SIRIM database, features an IP69 rating for durability and a 5,600mAh battery. It upgrades to a 120Hz display but retains a flat design. While the chipset remains unknown, it will offer 8GB RAM (expandable to 24GB) and 128GB storage.
