Redmi A3 design and key specifications revealed via retail box leak
Redmi A3 is expected to launch soon as a successor to the Remdi A2 that was introduced in India in May 2023 along with the Redmi A2+. The alleged handset, like its predecessors, is tipped to be a budget offering, the cheapest of all the Redmi models available in the market. However, the Redmi A3 could come with some major upgrades over the older models. Earlier, the phone was spotted on multiple certification sites and also listed in select retail stores. Now, the retail box of the rumoured phone has leaked, hinting at some key specifications.
A GSMArena report Redmi A3 retail box images have been shared. The box reveals that the phone will come with a 6.71-inch display, which is significantly larger than the 6.52-inch panel on the Redmi A2. The report claims that the display will also offer a 90Hz refresh rate. Given that the retail boxes have been leaked and the model has already been spotted at African retail outlets, it is likely that it will launch soon.
The Redmi A3 is seen with 128GB of inbuilt storage alongside 4GB of RAM. The Redmi A2 was launched with 32GB and 64GB storage options. Notably, the model was recently spotted online with 64GB of inbuilt storage.
Apart from a larger display, the Redmi A3 is also said to feature a larger camera module. In the images shared in the report, it comes in a black color scheme with a circular camera module placed centrally at the top of the rear panel. It seems to house a dual camera system on the back, along with an LED flash.
Previous listings suggest that the Redmi A3 will be available in Black, Blue, and Dark Green color options, with a centered waterdrop notch at the top of the display to house the front-facing camera. It is expected to support dual-SIM connectivity and run Android 13 out-of-the-box. Apart from the aforementioned display details, the phone could offer an HD+ (1,600 x 720 pixels) resolution with a 120Hz touch sampling rate and 400nits peak brightness.
The Redmi A3 is expected to be powered by a MediaTek chipset, paired with 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM, with support for up to 8GB of VRAM. It is also said to get eMMC 5.1 onboard storage. The dual camera setup on the back of the phone is likely to include a 13-megapixel primary sensor and an unspecified AI camera. The front-facing camera could come with an 8-megapixel unit. It is likely to get a 5,000mAh battery with support for 10W wired charging.
The Redmi A3 was also recently spotted on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website, hinting at an imminent launch in India.
