With the Redmi 8A, Xiaomi continues the tradition of beating expectations. Although touted as a budget phone, the Redmi 8A has the looks and updated features that only come in much pricier phones.
The phone has a big screen. Clocking at 6.2 inches, it is impressive. Whereas the resolution is 720 x 1,520 pixels, it nonetheless comes protected by Gorilla Glass 5.
A Snapdragon 439 chipset, coupled with an Octa-core CPU and backed by an Adreno 505 GPU power the phone’s processing.
Memory comes in the form of 2GB/3GB variants, while the internal storage is 32GB—expandable by microSD cards up to 256GB.
As a budget phone, we found the 12-megapixel main camera and 8-megapixel selfie one to be adequate.
Yet, what sold us most to this phone is its humongous 5,000mAH battery, which is chargeable by USB-C.
Otherwise, Xiaomi has released the latest ROMs for the Redmi 8A. Here, we list the official and stable ones for you to flash.
