Xiaomi has silently launched a new Redmi phone in India. The phone in question, called the Redmi A3X, is an entry-level offering. It’s essentially a less powerful—and by extension, more affordable—Redmi A3. The Redmi A3 was launched in India in February.
The Redmi A3X boasts of the same “halo” design as the Redmi A3 with a rounded camera assembly somewhat reminiscent of Xiaomi’s pricier ultra-flagship phones.
You can get it in a choice of three colours — olive green, ocean green, midnight black, and starry white. The last three are seemingly made of glass while the first uses fake leather. Biometrics are handled by a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.
Redmi A3X: Full specs
The Redmi A3X has the same 6.71-inch LCD display as the Redmi A3. The panel has a 720p resolution and supports 90Hz refresh rate. It is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. Xiaomi has swapped the MediaTek Helio G36 with the Unisoc T603 chip in the Redmi A3X. This is paired with up to 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of eMMC 5.1 storage. Storage expansion of up to 1TB is available through a dedicated micro-SD card slot.
The Redmi A3X runs Android 14, probably Go edition meant for entry-level devices of its kind. On its website listing, Xiaomi promises two years of OS and three years of security patch updates.
Powering the phone is a 5,000mAh battery with USB Type-C charging though it is limited to 10W. For photography, the Redmi A3X has an 8-megapixel rear and another 5-megapixel camera on the front, same as the Redmi A3.
