The Redmi A7 Pro cleared certification hurdles earlier this month, and now its sibling is catching up. The Xiaomi sub-brand has secured approval for the Redmi A7 in Thailand through NBTC, revealing the model number 26020RNB4A.
Certification Details and Market Strategy
Thailand's NBTC database confirms the Redmi A7 carries the identifier 26020RNB4A. The device has also appeared in EEC certification records, signaling plans for a European release. Both certifications point to an imminent launch window.
Like its Pro sibling, the Redmi A7 will stick to 4G connectivity. This positions both devices firmly in the budget segment where LTE remains sufficient for most users. The parallel certification timeline suggests Xiaomi plans a coordinated release strategy for both models.
Poco Rebranding Expected
Market positioning indicates these phones may ship under different names in select regions. The Redmi A7 could appear as the Poco C81 in certain markets, while the Pro variant may launch as the Poco C81 Pro elsewhere. This dual-branding approach lets Xiaomi target different price tiers without diluting either brand's identity.
Expected Specifications
Leaked details suggest the lineup will use Unisoc's T7250 chipset paired with 4GB of RAM. The display measures 6.9 inches with HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate—rare specs at this price point. Storage options top out at 128GB.
The camera setup includes a 50MP main sensor and a 13MP front-facing shooter. A substantial 6,000 mAh battery powers the device, with 15W wired charging support. These specifications clearly target first-time smartphone buyers and users upgrading from feature phones.
Pricing Expectations
With entry-level hardware and 4G-only connectivity, pricing should remain aggressive. Xiaomi typically prices its A-series phones competitively in emerging markets. Official pricing details should emerge closer to launch.
