Redmi A3 Expected to Feature MediaTek Chipset, According to Speculations.
Redmi A3 is expected to launch soon as a successor to the Remdi A2, which was introduced in India in May 2023 alongside the Redmi A2+. The purported handset, like its predecessors, is tipped to be a budget offering, the cheapest among all the Redmi models available in the market. However, the Redmi A3 may come with some significant upgrades over the older models. Previously, the phone has been spotted on several certification sites and listed on select retail stores, as well. Now, the retail box of the rumoured handset has leaked suggesting some key specifications.
A GSMArena report shared images of the Redmi A3 retail box. On the box, it is seen that the phone is equipped with a 6.71-inch display, which is considerably bigger than the 6.52-inch panel on the Redmi A2. The report claims that the display will also offer a 90Hz refresh rate. Since the retail boxes have leaked, and the model has already been spotted in African retail outlets, it is likely to launch soon.
The Redmi A3 is seen with 128GB of onboard storage alongside 4GB of RAM. The Redmi A2 launched with 32GB and 64GB storage options. Notably, the model was recently seen online with 64GB of inbuilt storage.
The Redmi A3 is rumored to feature a larger display and an upgraded camera module, as indicated by recent reports. In the leaked images, the device is showcased in a sleek black color option, sporting a centrally placed circular camera module towards the top of the back panel. This module is believed to house a dual rear camera setup along with an LED flash.
Previous leaks have hinted at the Redmi A3 being available in black, blue, and forest green color variants, featuring a centered waterdrop notch at the display’s top to accommodate the front camera. It’s anticipated to support dual SIM connectivity and come with Android 13 pre-installed. Alongside the mentioned display enhancements, the phone is speculated to offer an HD+ resolution (1,600 x 720 pixels), a 120Hz touch sampling rate, and peak brightness of 400 nits.
Under the hood, the Redmi A3 is expected to be powered by a MediaTek chipset paired with 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM, expandable up to 8GB VRAM. Storage-wise, it’s rumored to come with eMMC 5.1 onboard storage. The rear camera setup may consist of a 13-megapixel primary sensor accompanied by an AI-backed camera. For selfies, an 8-megapixel front camera is anticipated. Additionally, the device is likely to pack a 5,000mAh battery with support for 10W wired charging. Recent sightings on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website suggest an imminent launch in India.
