The Redmi A3 is the new addition to the Redmi family, targeting the entry-level smartphone market. We recently had the opportunity to unbox this model, which resembles the Redmi K70, a device that debuted in December of the previous year. The A3, though slightly smaller than its predecessor the K70, still offers a robust design and weighs a reasonable 199 grams, which is commendable for an entry-level device.
For consumers seeking an affordable smartphone, the Redmi A3 stands out due to its striking design and impressive features. It boasts a large display with a 90 Hz refresh rate and is powered by the MediaTek Helio G36 chipset—an adequate setup for a budget phone priced at KES 11,599.
Our initial interactions with the Redmi A3 have highlighted the design as its unique selling point [USP]. The boldness of the dual rear camera setup and the vibrant color options are particularly notable. Below are the detailed specifications of the device, which we will explore further in an upcoming in-depth review.
