Redmi 7A has been launched in India. Some days after teasing its debut, Xiaomi on Thursday formally announced the launch of the Redmi 7A in the country through a Web stream. The new Redmi phone will go on sale from July 11. The company is pitting the new model specifically against the Samsung Galaxy M10 and Nokia 2.2. Key highlights of the Redmi 7A include an HD+ display, octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 439 SoC, and up to 32GB of onboard storage. The handset was unveiled in China back in May. But to please Indian buyers, the Chinese company is offering a 12-megapixel Sony IMX486 camera on the India variant of the Redmi 7A. The company is also offering two years of warranty specifically for Indian customers.

The Redmi 7A price in India starts at Rs. 5,999 for the base 2GB RAM + 16GB storage variant, while its 2GB RAM + 32GB storage option comes at Rs. 6,199. The phone comes in three colour options, namely Matte Black, Matte Blue, and Matte Gold colour options.

As an introductory offer, Xiaomi is offering a Rs. 200 discount on both Redmi 7A variants in India. This means the handset will be available for purchase at as low as Rs. 5,799. Notably, the discount is available throughout July.

The Redmi 7A will go on sale in the country starting 12pm (noon) IST on July 11. It will be available for purchase through Flipkart, Mi.com, and Mi Home stores. The handset will also be available through offline retail stores in the country at a later stage.

To recall, the Redmi 7A was unveiled in China earlier this year with a starting price of CNY 549 (roughly Rs. 5,500) for the base 2GB RAM + 16GB storage variant. The Redmi 7A also comes as a successor to the Redmi 6A that was launched in India last year.
