Xiaomi Redmi A3: Price, Specs, Features

Xiaomi Redmi A3 is a budget-friendly smartphone that was released in February 2024. It features a 6.71-inch IPS LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate, a MediaTek Helio G36 processor, a 5000 mAh battery, and a dual camera system. It runs on Android 14 Go Edition with MIUI and supports expandable storage.

The Redmi A3 has a refined and stylish design with a glass or leather-like back, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, and a dot drop notch for the selfie camera. It comes in three colors: Midnight Black, Olive Green, and Lake Blue. The Redmi A3 is aimed at the low-income end of the market.

At heart, the Xiaomi Redmi A3 is not much different from its predecessor, the Redmi A2 Plus. It uses the same Helio G36 processor, same 5000mAh battery, same 10W charging, and even similar camera specifications. The major upgrades include 90Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass 3 in the display, as well as the stylish design.

That stylish design is a striking thing, though, in the entry-level market that the device is targeted at. Imagine a sub-₦100,000 smartphone that looks fabulous and that also has Gorilla Glass 3 protecting the screen. It sounds like a good deal. See Mister Mobility’s Redmi A3 Unboxing video.
