A research finding by Strategic analytics recently revealed that the Xiaomi Redmi 4A is the fifth best-selling model for the second quarter of the year with over 5.5 million units sold worldwide between April and June alone. Most of the sales may have come from India where Xiaomi is the second largest OEM after Samsung and where it launched the Redmi 4A in March.

Perhaps, in order to tweak things a little bit to increase sales, Xiaomi has officially announced a 3GB RAM variant of the Redmi 4A in India. The budget smartphone originally comes in 2GB + 16GB memory version only but with this new development, fans can now choose between the 3GB + 32GB version and then the original 2GB + 16GB version. The prices are just 1000 Rupees apart, as the 3GB variant costs 6,999 Rupees (~$109) while the 2GB + 16GB version costs 5,999 Rupees (~$95). It would go on sale tomorrow, August 31, simultaneously on Mi.com, Amazon, Flipkart, Paytm, and Tata CliQ.

Recall that the Xiaomi Redmi 4 had appeared on TENAA months back alongside the already launched Redmi Note 4. The Redmi 4 was listed as packing a 3GB RAM as against the 2GB on this version. Other specs also differ as well as the location of the rear camera and flash. So it’s likely this is a trimmed down, perhaps cheaper version of the still to be released Redmi 4. The Redmi 4 was rumored to come with a cheap price tag hovering around 699 Yuan, this Redmi 4A might even be ultra-cheap with some predicting a price around 599 Yuan. We can’t be so sure about that though, but it is likely a launch is imminent.
