Redmi has teamed up with Airtel once again to launch a new “exclusive” version of its budget-friendly smartphone. The company has officially launched the Redmi A5 Airtel Exclusive Edition in India today, which succeeds the Redmi A4 Airtel Edition from last year. 

As you might have guessed, the twist here isn’t in the hardware, but in the offers. Buyers will need to unlock the device using an Airtel prepaid SIM and keep it active with a recharge of ₹299 or more on Airtel’s Truly Unlimited plans for at least 18 months. In return, customers get a few extras, like a 7.5 percent discount (up to ₹750 off the sticker price) and 50GB of free data.

The phone itself is priced at ₹5,999 and comes in a single variant with 3GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. If interested, you can pick it up in three color options, Jaisalmer Gold, Just Black, and Pondicherry Blue, through Flipkart.

Redmi A5 Airtel Exclusive Edition Specs

On the hardware side, the Airtel edition is no different from the standard Redmi A5. It features a large 6.88-inch display with a 1650×720 resolution, a smooth 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and up to 240Hz touch sampling. 

The screen is backed by TÜV certifications for low blue light, flicker-free use, and circadian-friendly brightness. Powering it is the Unisoc T7250 chipset clocked up to 1.8GHz.

The Redmi A5 runs Android 15 out of the box, and Redmi promises two years of Android updates and four years of security patches. For cameras, there’s a 32MP AI dual setup on the back and an 8MP selfie camera on the front. A 5200mAh battery keeps things running, with support for 15W fast charging.

Other practical features include a side-mounted fingerprint reader, IP52 dust and splash resistance, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.2, USB-C, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and what Redmi calls a “150% volume boost.”

Xiaomi recently confirmed that it will hold a launch event on March 20 in Bangladesh. The brand has confirmed that it will unveil the Redmi Note 14 series on the said date in the country. However, at the same time, the brand is already teasing the arrival of the Redmi A5, an entry-level smartphone. While the brand has not confirmed it yet, the A5 may go official alongside the Note 14 lineup. However, even before the official launch, the A5 is seemingly available at offline retailers in Bangladesh. Here is a look at everything that’s known about the Redmi A5.

Redmi A5 specifications

The Redmi A5 has a 6.88-inch LCD panel with a waterdrop notch. The screen offers an HD+ (720 x 1604 pixels) resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, the device is equipped with the Unisoc T7250 chip, which is nothing but a rebranded version of the existing Unisoc T616 SoC.

The Redmi A5 will come in two options, such as 4GB+64GB and 6GB+128GB. The device will be backed by a 5,200mAh battery that supports 18W charging. However, the retail package of the phone includes a 15W charger.

The post Redmi A5 seemingly launched; Variants, price revealed appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

The post Redmi A5 / POCO C71 greenlit to launch in India by regulators appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi‘s sub-brand, Redmi, unveiled its entry-level A3 smartphone back in February 2024. Almost a year later now, the company is gearing up for the launch of its successor, the Redmi A4.

Earlier this month, the device made an appearance on the FCC certification site, revealing some key details about its specs. The phone will feature Android 15, 5G connectivity, and four memory variants: 3GB/64GB, 4GB/64GB, 4GB/128GB, and 6GB/128GB.

While the chipset had been kept under wraps, a recent report from XiaomiTime may have just uncovered the details. According to findings from the alleged “Mi Code”, the upcoming Redmi A4 (model number “C3Z”) will be powered by the UniSoC T615 chipset.

Redmi A5 gets UnisoC T615 chip

The code points to “C3Z = UMS9230E,” which confirms the device will use UniSoC T615. This is the same chip we’ve seen on the Tecno Spark Go 1.

The UniSoC T615 features a mix of two ARM Cortex-A75 cores, six Cortex-A55 cores, and an ARM Mali-G57 MP1 graphics controller, all built on a 12-nanometer process. While it doesn’t deliver any extreme performance, it is well-suited for entry-level devices that focuses just on the basics. 

Details on the rest of the specs remain scarce, but rumors suggest that the Redmi A4 will sport a 1600 x 720 IPS display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a modest primary camera, and a 5,000mAh battery with 18W charging. 

Xiaomi is reportedly set to rebrand the Redmi A5 as the POCO C71, meaning both devices will likely share a similar set of specifications.

The company hasn’t officially confirmed the existence of these devices, and details on pricing, specific launch dates, and full specifications remain under wraps.

We’ll be sure to keep you updated as more information about the Redmi A5 and POCO C71 becomes available.

Xiaomi is seemingly gearing up to launch a new budget-friendly Redmi smartphone, and it recently passed through the FCC certification process. The device in question is the Redmi A5 which bears the codename 25028RN03L. 

The FCC listing for the Redmi A5 suggests it will be a 5G-compatible phone with dual-band Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth connectivity. The listing also reveals that the phone has Android 15 OS, likely with Xiaomi’s custom HyperOS 2.0 on top. Storage options appear to include 3GB/64GB, 4GB/64GB, 4GB/128GB, and 6GB/128GB configurations.

Rebranded Poco C71?

According to a report by XiaomiTime, Xiaomi might also launch a rebranded version of the Redmi A5 as the POCO C71. Both phones, despite being entry-level devices, are expected to offer decent performance, display, camera quality, an NFC option, and a compact design – all at an affordable price point.

The leak also details different model numbers for the Redmi A5 and POCO C71 across various regions:

• Redmi A5
  • 25028RN03G – Global Version
  • 25028RN03Y – Global NFC Version (spotted on IMEI database)
  • 25028RN03I – India Version
  • 25028RN03A – Latin America Version (spotted on EEC)

  • 25028PC03L – Global NFC Version
  • 25028PC03I – Indian Version
  • 25028PC03L – Latin America Version

As you can see, both devices share similar model numbers. And based on the model number scheme (2502…), they could launch sometime next month, in February 2025. We can expect more information to surface in the coming days, so stay tuned for further updates.

While the FCC listing provides some clues, there’s still a lot we don’t know about the Redmi A5 and POCO C71. Xiaomi hasn’t officially confirmed the existence of these devices, and details on pricing, specific launch dates, and full specifications remain under wraps.

We’ll be sure to keep you updated as more information about the Redmi A5 and POCO C71 becomes available.
