Android version and market relevance
Xiaomi Redmi 8A was announced by the company Xiaomi in September 2019 and in the same year official sales began in stores. The device was placed in the series of smartphones Xiaomi Redmi. Xiaomi Redmi 8A works on Android 9 Pie and the manufacturer even took care of customers by releasing an update to the version 10. And before listing all the main characteristics of this model, it is important to note that in Xiaomi Redmi 8A implemented support for working with two SIM cards.
And if you want to look at the competitors of this smartphone, then in our catalog on the page “Smartphones of the year 2019” all models of the same year are presented. And it will also be useful to look at the page with smartphones at a similar price, like Xiaomi Redmi 8A — this is the price segment page “Affordable smartphones from $100 to $200”.
Screen, body and battery
By the size of the Xiaomi Redmi 8A screen, we were assigned to a segment phablets (smartphones with a huge screen), considering that the bezels around the screen are very small (all smartphones with an edge-to-edge screen). See for yourself, here is IPS LCD-screen with diagonal 6.22″ and with a drop-like notch for selfie camera and sensors.
Dimensions of the screen dictate to us and the size of the case. At Xiaomi Redmi 8A the case turned out very thick — 9.4 mm. Today you can easily choose and buy a new smartphone with a very thin case. The battery in this model has a capacity 5 000 mAh. This model could become a flip smartphone and get into our catalog on a separate page, where all phones with flexible screens are collected. Unfortunately, this did not happen. And therefore, if you are interested in smartphones with such top-end characteristics, we advise you to look at them in our catalog and get a deeper understanding in which direction the entire mobile electronics industry is moving. Perhaps, in a couple of years, every second person on the planet will have such flip smartphones.
Main camera and selfie camera
Let′s briefly describe the cameras in Xiaomi Redmi 8A. The main camera got one module: 12 MP Wide. And this is a regular camera with one module. If you want to buy a smartphone with a dual camera or a triple camera or four cameras or even five cameras, then goto in our catalog.
The front camera has one module: 8 MP with a regular lens. Do not say that this is very much, is in our catalog selfie smartphones, whose frontcamera will be an order of magnitude better. This model has a front camera as usual at the top of the screen, like 99.9% of all smartphones. But, if this makes you bored, then we can offer smartphones with pop-up front camera. In these models, the front camera is located inside the body and goes up only when you activate the front camera mode. It sounds interesting, but how convenient it is and how long this mechanism will work is not yet clear.
Processor and Internal Memory
Smartphone received 8-core processor Snapdragon 439. If you want to assess the speed of the smartphone and its performance, then do not forget to see how much RAM is installed in it. Xiaomi Redmi 8A received 2 GB of RAM, and there is another version of this smartphone with 4 GB of RAM.
And there are options with built-in memory. You can choose 32 GB or 64 GB. Supported memory cards microSDXC.
Price for Xiaomi Redmi 8A: buy or not to buy?
So we told about cheap powerful smartphone Xiaomi Redmi 8A with a huge screen, conventional main camera and weak frontal, and still there is a super-capacious battery.
All these characteristics in 2019 may be good, but the time goes by and the smartphone will somehow become obsolete in half a year of the beginning of sales. And by the way, to sell it start in September 2019 at a price of $130. This is the official price from the manufacturer without taxes and fees, so it can differ in each country, and not only for different sellers.
Before you buy Xiaomi Redmi 8A, be sure to check out all the photos and video reviews on it, or better still go to the offline store (electronics supermarket) and twist it in your hand. And already then, based on the emotions received from the smartphone, make the decision to buy.
