The Redmi A3 is released in the Philippines by the brand as a surprise revelation during the Xiaomi Fan Festival. This low-cost phone has some significant performance enhancements in addition to a few unexpected design cues from its more expensive siblings.
The small 8-megapixel dual AI camera system is housed in a very big, spherical camera island on the rear. Even the Olive Green color option, which has a simulated leather back, is an obvious reference to the Xiaomi 13 Ultra’s opulent appearance.
