A new smartphone from Redmi, called the Redmi A3 Pro, has appeared unexpectedly. Although Xiaomi has not made an official announcement yet, a Kenyan online retailer has shared a listing that includes basic details and an impressively low price.
Unofficial Images
The images shown alongside the specifications are likely “unofficial,” as they look like raw photos rather than polished official designs. Notably, there hasn't been a Redmi A2 Pro or A1 Pro before, which makes the A3 Pro the first “Pro” model in the A-series lineup. The device was also seen in the HyperOS code, which adds some trust to the listing and its specifications. Let's delve deeper into what we know.
Redmi A3 Pro Features
The A3 Pro appears to expand on the original Redmi A3. It features a 6.88-inch screen with a 90Hz refresh rate. Inside, the basic MediaTek Helio G36 in the A3 has been upgraded to the Helio G81 Ultra in the Pro version, combined with up to 8GB of RAM.
The camera setup is another area where there are significant improvements. According to the listing, it has a 50MP AI main sensor, a big upgrade from the A3’s 8MP dual-camera system. However, information about the secondary rear camera is still unclear.
Battery and Security
This device packs a large 5,160mAh battery to keep it powered up, but there is no information about how fast it can charge. For security purposes, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner will be available.
Price Expectations
One of the most appealing features of the A3 Pro is its pricing. It is listed at KSh13,999 (around €100/$110), placing it solidly in the budget smartphone market. If the rumored specifications are accurate, this pricing could make the A3 Pro an attractive choice for those looking for value.
