In India, Xiaomi's inexpensive 5G smartphone debuted today. What does the Redmi A4 5G offer and how much does it cost?
Redmi A4 5G has a housing with fashionable, flat walls, available in two colors and decorated with a large photographic island. The housing is protected against dust and liquids in accordance with the IP52 certificate, and its dimensions are 171.88x77.8x8.22 mm, while the phone weighs 212.35 g. The smartphone has a 6.88-inch LCD display, HD+ resolution, a refresh rate of 120 Hz (and touch 240 Hz) and a brightness of up to 600 nits. The screen has a "budget", rather wide frame with a not very fashionable, drop-shaped notch for a 5-megapixel selfie camera with an f/2.2 aperture.

The large frame on the back houses a 50-megapixel main camera with an f/1.8 aperture, supported by an LED diode, background blur and... a cap. The heart of the smartphone is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 processor, supported by LPDDR4X and UFS 2.2 memory. Power is provided by a 5160 mAh battery with 18-watt charging. The equipment is complemented by, among others, a minijack and a triple card slot (DualSIM and microSD), while the system is Android 14 with the HyperOS overlay and a promise of 4-year support for security patches. In India, the model will be available in a 4+64GB version for Rs 8,500 ($100) and a 4+128GB version for Rs 9,500 ($113).
