Although the price of the smartphone is not known, looking at the specs, Redmi 9A might fall in the budget segment. In Malaysia, the handset costs MYR 359 (roughly Rs. 6,400) for the 2GB+32GB model. We expect a couple of more variants to come to India.

The Redmi 9A comes with a 6.53-inch HD+ display with a dot drop notch. It is powered by MediaTek Helio G25 that is coupled with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage space that can be expanded further using a microSD card. It runs on Android 10 based MIUI 11 and it is backed by a 5000mAh battery. On the camera front, the entry level Redmi 9A comes with a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front camera. It also comes with a 3.5mm jack.

Redmi 9A was also launched alongside the 9C on the global level.
