After launching in India and selling out in less than a minute in its first flash sale, the Redmi 7A will be heading to Europe. The launch date is not yet confirmed but it must be really close as a retail store has listed the phone on its site already.

Screenshots of the listing from the unnamed store show the entry-level smartphone will be priced at €99 for the base model which has 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. If you want the variant with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, you will have to shell out €119. From the images, the Redmi 7A will be available in blue and black.

The phone has a 5.45-inch 720 x 1440 screen with moderately thick bezels. For a phone with that price, it isn’t unexpected. There is a Snapdragon 439 processor under the hood and an Adreno 505 GPU. Irrespective of the variant you purchase, you will be able to expand the storage via a dedicated MicroSD card slot.

There is a 5MP camera above the display while a 13MP camera sits on the rear. There is no fingerprint scanner, so the good old pattern, PIN, or password is your best bet to keeping your phone safe. The Redmi 7A runs Android 9 Pie with MIUI on top and packs a 4000mAh battery. It has an audio jack, FM radio, and charges via a MicroUSB port.
