    I wouldn’t say that the Redmi 9A is not worth a try. It is still one of the cheapest smartphones available out there. It has major upgrades over flip and features phones including a large battery, a huge display, a powerful processor, and more. Of course, if you are downgrading, you will feel that it is not worth it. Xiaomi did cut back on many features that Redmi 8A had including 18W charging support, USB-C port, and 8MP selfie shooter among others.

  • Introduction

    What do you think about a smartphone that has a sub-7K INR price tag? Well, Xiaomi Redmi 9A is a barebone smartphone for that very price tag mentioned above. It is among the few devices priced below $100 (outside India). It is great for those upgrading from a feature phone and for those who reside in developing countries or those who can’t afford to pay more. Redmi 9A is also one of the cheapest smartphones from the Redmi lineup and shares most of its specs with Redmi 9i launched alongside.
