Xiaomi Philippines has introduced the budget Redmi 7A phone that starts at P4,790 for the 2GB/16GB model and Php 5,290 for 2GB+32GB version. As of writing, it’s available on Mi Authorized stores, August 6 on Lazada, and at a later date on Shopee.
If you’re looking for a budget phone under P5k, the Redmi 7A is looking like a good option. It features a decent-performing Snapdragon 439 and comes with 4000mAh battery (bundled with a 10W charger) to last you more than a day. There’s also a large 5.45″ HD+ IPS LCD with low blue light eye protection. As for the cameras, there is a 12MP f2.2 AI rear camera that captures better low-light images and a 5MP f2.2 front camera that enables face to unlock.
The Redmi 7A’s polycarbonate body is able to withstand splashes of water thanks to its splash-resistant coasting. For what it’s worth, FM radio is available here. The device comes in four colors — the entry-model features Matte Blue and Matte Black while the top-end model comes in Gem Blue and Gem Red.
