Based on this, we can expect that the Redmi A5 will feature slightly downgraded specifications. Since it is going to be a 4G phone, and not a 5G phone, the price of the device could also be at a lower end comparatively. The POCO C71 is also likely going to feature a similar set of specifications as the Redmi A5. The chipset of the device remains unkown at the moment. The launch timeline is also unclear, however, based on the report, it is expected to happen soon. It could come with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.
