Xiaomi Indonesia just launched a new handset, dubbed the Redmi 8A Pro. New is being used loosely here since the 8A Pro is merely a rebadged Redmi 8A Dual.
The Redmi 8A Pro is built around a 6.22-inch HD+ LCD which is protected by Gorilla Glass 5. It’s powered by a Snapdragon 439 chipset, along with 2GB or 3GB of RAM and 16GB or 32GB storage. You can expand the storage via a dedicated microSD slot, which sits alongside two nano-SIM slots, in a triple slot arrangement.
Power comes courtesy of a beefy 5,000 mAh battery, with 18W fast charge support, achieved via a Type-C port, but sadly you only get a 10W charger in the box.
What we do know, is that these internals are packed inside a 156.5 x 75.4 x 9.4 mm body, complete with P2i splash-proof coating. The Aura XGrip Design texture on the back means the 8A Pro is unlikely to slip from your hands. The 3.5mm audio jack is present, as well.
