Xiaomi has quietly launched two new Redmi branded smartphones, Redmi A2 and the Redmi A2+. It has quietly added both the smartphones on its global website, just a day after it unveiled its Redmi Note 12, Redmi Note 12 5G, Redmi Note 12 Pro, and Redmi Note 12 Pro+ smartphones globally.

Redmi A2, Redmi A2+

Both the Redmi A2 and the A2+ are entry level smartphones. Both the devices come with similar specifications, including a 6.52-inch display with a resolution of 1600x720 pixels. They are powered by the MediaTek Helio G36 chipset and come with 2GB/3GB of RAM along with 32GB of internal storage.

Both feature a dual camera setup at the back consisting of an 8-megapixel primary sensor paired with a QVGA auxiliary lens. They are backed by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 10W charging. Surprisingly, in this day and age of USB Type-c, the devices come with a microUSB port. They run Google's Android 12 (Go Edition) operating system. There is no support for 5G networks, but they do come with a 3.5mm headphone jack.
