Xiaomi seems to be preparing to introduce a new budget smartphone to the global market in the near future. The Redmi A3 Pro was recently unveiled in Kenya, and a new certification sighting suggests a broader launch may be on the horizon. Here’s what we’ve learned so far.

Redmi A3 Pro Certified by Bluetooth SIG

The Chinese technology company revealed the Redmi A3 Pro in Kenya just last week, indicating that it may be a rebranded version of the Redmi 14C. This device has now been spotted in the Bluetooth SIG certification with the model number 2409BRN2CG. Sadly, the online listing does not provide any additional details about the specifications of this budget smartphone. However, it does imply that its global availability could be imminent.

Key Details About the Redmi A3 Pro

The Bluetooth SIG also verifies the Redmi A3 Pro name for this particular model. Although an official announcement is still pending, the previous launch in Kenya has disclosed some essential specifications. The Redmi A3 Pro comes with a large 6.88-inch display that boasts a 90Hz refresh rate. Inside, it is powered by the MediaTek Helio G81 Ultra processor, which is combined with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. Additionally, the phone allows for an expansion of up to 8GB of virtual RAM.

Regarding camera capabilities, the Redmi A3 Pro includes a 50-megapixel AI dual camera setup on its back. This model is sustained by a substantial 5,160mAh battery. Other impressive features are Xiaomi’s Android OS-based HyperOS custom skin, face unlock technology, and a fingerprint scanner to ensure security. It was launched in two color variants: Blue and Black. Considering all these specifications, it is evident that this smartphone is indeed Xiaomi’s rebranded Redmi 14C. To remember, the Redmi 14C was initially introduced globally in August 2024. For now, this is all the information available, so stay tuned for more updates.

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.
