Redmi A1 launch announced in India: Details

Redmi A1 has been teased to launch in India in the company’s ‘Diwali With Mi’ launch announcement via Twitter. The phone was earlier spotted on multiple certification websites and a benchmarking site. As per a report, the Redmi A1 could be powered by MediaTek Helio A22 SoC. It is said to be codenamed Ice. The handset has been spotted on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) database with a slightly different model number than the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) listing.

The Beijing-based smartphone brand has shared via Twitter that the company will soon be unveiling products in India as part of its ‘Diwali With Mi’ launches. In the post, Redmi said, “P.S. Just like yesterday’s contest, we are ready to knock it out of the park with our A1 all-rounders.” Since the term “A1 all-rounders” is in block italics, this suggests that the Redmi A1 could be part of the ‘Diwali With Mi’ launches.

However, it’s advisable to take this with a pinch of salt as Redmi is yet to unveil its full product lineup. Redmi has already announced that it will unveil the Redmi 11 Prime 5G in India on September 6 as part of its ‘Diwali With Mi’ launches.

According to an earlier report, the Redmi A1 has been spotted on multiple certification websites as well as the Geekbench benchmarking website. It was spotted on the US FCC database with model number 220733SL. The listing reportedly suggests that the smartphone will be powered by MediaTek Helio A22 SoC. It is said to measure around 164.67mm in length and around 76.56mm in width. The Redmi A1 could reportedly support 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.

The smartphone was also spotted on the TUV Rheinland and BIS India databases, as per the report. The Redmi A1 was listed on the BIS India database with model number 220733SI, which slightly differs from the models listed on the US FCC and TUV Rheinland databases. The Geekbench listing of the phone reportedly suggested that it could feature 3GB of RAM, coupled with a quad-core SoC.
