Xiaomi launches the entry-level Redmi A2, A2 Plus smartphones in India; price starts at Rs 5,999
Redmi A2 and Redmi A2 Plus have officially been launched in India. The Redmi A2 series phones are a follow-up to last year’s Redmi A1 and Redmi A1 Plus. They are virtually the same phones, though they do pack a newer, more powerful chip and latest Android 13 Go edition software. The Redmi A2 Plus gets you a fingerprint reader, but it’s essentially the same phone as the Redmi A2 otherwise. Redmi A2 series price in India starts at Rs 5,999. General availability is pegged for May 23.

Redmi A2 and Redmi A2 Plus have the same “leather-textured” back design. The only difference is that the A2 Plus has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, too. Otherwise, they’re both billed as “splash resistant” and are said to come with “high-quality corrosion-proof ports and rubberised seals along with a dedicated space for a microSD card.” Xiaomi will sell them in three colours— Sea Green, Calming Aqua Blue, and Classic Black.

On the front, you get a 6.52-inch 720p display (120Hz touch sampling) with a waterdrop-style notch same as the Redmi A1 series phones. Under the hood, you get MediaTek’s Helio G36 chipset (an upgrade over the Redmi A1 series’ Helio A22) which is paired with up to 4GB of RAM and up to 64GB of storage. This is expandable.
A key USP of these entry-level phones is their seemingly clean Android 13 Go software.
For photography, you get a dual camera setup with an 8MP main sensor on the rear and another 5MP camera on the front for selfies same as the Redmi A1 series.
Rounding off the package is a 5,000mAh battery with 10W micro-USB charging support. The phones are rated to deliver 32 days of standby and up to 32 hours of video playback on a single charge.
