Xiaomi Redmi 8A will be launching in India on September 25, the Chinese company confirmed on Twitter today. The Redmi 8A will also sport a teardrop notch display and a 5000mAh battery to take on the Realme C2 and other smartphones in the similar price range. Notably, the Redmi 7A was launched just a few weeks ago in India starting at Rs 5,999 and the arrival of Redmi 8A in such a quick time was not an expected one. But maybe Xiaomi wants to offer a better smartphone than the Realme C2 because the latter overshadowed the former in some aspects. That said, the Redmi 8A was spotted on TENAA earlier this week and we also have the full spec-sheet of the upcoming entry-level smartphone. Xiaomi is teasing the Redmi 8A with #DumdaarRedmi8A hashtag.

Xiaomi Redmi 8A India Launch Set for September 25: What to Expect?
The Redmi 7A brought some major upgrades over the Redmi 6A and the same seems to be happening with the Redmi 8A as well. The entry-level smartphone from Xiaomi will packs a massive 5000mAh battery and also a bigger teardrop notch display. To recall, the Redmi 7A featured a 5.45-inch 18:9 HD+ display, but going by the TENAA listing, the Redmi 8A will have a 6.2-inch HD+ screen and 19:9 aspect ratio.
Other specifications of the smartphone may remain the same. We may see the Redmi 8A retaining the Qualcomm Snapdragon 439 chipset from the Redmi 7A and the 12MP Sony IMX486 sensor on the back could remain the same as well. But on the front side, we could see an upgraded 8MP selfie shooter.
