The Redmi A4 5G will reportedly launch in a single variant with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage option, which is believed to be priced at Rs 8,499. This was first reported by Smartprix. This isn’t the launch price; it includes bank and launch offers.

Redmi A4 5G expected specifications

The Redmi A4 5G is expected to feature a 4nm Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 chipset. Reportedly, it will feature a 6.7-inch HD+ IPS LCD with a 90Hz refresh rate. We got the chance to take a sneak peek at the device at the IMC 2024, and we had also estimated that the phone sports an approximately 6.7-inch display.

Further, rumours suggest that the phone will feature a 5,000mAh battery with support for 18W charging.

In terms of cameras, the Redmi A4 5G is believed to include a 50-megapixel main rear camera with an f/1.8 aperture, accompanied by an 8-megapixel front-facing camera. It is anticipated to run on Android 14, layered with the HyperOS 1.0 interface. For security, the phone is expected to have a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and a USB Type-C charging port.

Redmi A4 5G: What we already know

While we didn’t get to use the device, when we sneaked a peek at the device we found that it features a sleek design with flat edges, rounded corners, and a circular camera module at the rear, which houses a dual-camera system featuring a 50-megapixel primary sensor. This might make it the highest-resolution camera phone available for under Rs 10,000.

Additionally, the device includes a 3.5mm headphone jack positioned on its top edge. It is confirmed that the phone will launch in two colour options: black and silver.
