[Xiaomi](https://www.mi.com/in)‘s sub-brand, Redmi, has been making waves in the smartphone market with its budget-friendly yet feature-packed devices. Recently, the brand unveiled four new smartphones – Redmi Note 12, Redmi Note 12 5G, Redmi Note 12 Pro, and Redmi Note 12 Pro+. However, the company also quietly launched two new devices, the Redmi A2 and Redmi A2+, without much fanfare.

## Redmi A2 and A2+ features and specifications

The [Redmi A2](https://technosports.co.in/?s=Redmi+A2&post_type=post) and A2+ are many lower-end devices than their recently unveiled counterparts. The Redmi A2 features a 6.52-inch 720×1600 touchscreen and is powered by a [MediaTek Helio](https://technosports.co.in/?s=MediaTek+Helio&post_type=post) G36 SoC, paired with either 2 or 3GB of RAM. It has 32GB of expandable storage and comes with an 8MP rear camera with a QVGA auxiliary lens, a 5MP selfie snapper, and a 5,000 mAh battery with 10W charging support. Interestingly, the device charges via micro USB, and a 10W charger comes in the box.

The device runs on Android 12 (Go Edition), which is optimized for low-end hardware. This means that users may not have access to all the features of the standard version of Android. Additionally, there is no 5G support, which is a feature that is becoming increasingly common in budget devices. However, the Redmi A2+ does have a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, which is an added feature that the A2 lacks.

Both devices come in light blue, light green, and black. The Redmi A2 and A2+ may not have the bells and whistles of higher-end devices, but they offer a budget-friendly option for users who want a smartphone without breaking the bank. The devices are expected to be sold for dirt cheap wherever they are offered.

In conclusion, Xiaomi’s sub-brand, Redmi, has quietly launched two new devices, the Redmi A2 and A2+. These devices are much lower-end than the recently unveiled Redmi Note 12 series, with basic features and a lower price point. While they may not appeal to power users, they offer a budget-friendly option for those who want a smartphone without breaking the bank.
