Xiaomi has launched another Redmi 9-series smartphone in India. The device will be replacing the wildly popular Redmi 8A and Redmi 8A dual series smartphones in the budget segment. The Redmi 9A is the third smartphone in the Redmi 9 series to be launched in India. Prior to this, the company has launched the Redmi 9 and Redmi 9 Prime. Since the Redmi 9A, similar to the Redmi 8A, comes with a single lens primary camera, we can expect a Redmi 9A Dual at a later date.
The Redmi 9A will be made available in two variants. The one with 2GB RAM and 32GB internal storage will be priced at ₹6,799 and the one with 3GB RAM and 32GB of internal storage will be priced at ₹7,499. The device will go on its first sale on Friday, 4 September. The sale will begin at 12pm and will be conducted via Amazon India’s website, Mi.com and Mi Home. The company claimed that the device will soon be accessible via retail stores as well.
In terms of colour variants buyers will get the choice of three colours which includes Midnight Black, Nature Green, and Sea Blue.
