There is no doubt about the fact that Redmi, the sub-brand of Xiaomi, offers a vast range of gadgets, mainly catering to the low-end devices. The fact that the devices are available at a low price made it’s brand famous in no time. Since its conception, Redmi devices had branched out and released devices that are priced at the higher range also.

Redmi 8A smartphone came out in the market in September 2019. As is the case with any Redmi smartphone made for the budget-conscious consumers, the 8A too was an instant hit. It came packed with some exceptional specifications. It has been only a few months, but Manu Kumar Jain, the Global VP of Xiaomi and the MD of Xiaomi India, tweeted that the Redmi team thought about making the affordable smartphone even better and that they have done so successfully.

In the tweet, Manu Kumar Jain mentioned that the Redmi team has included a dual camera on the back of the smartphone. The Redmi 8A Dual camera setup now will consist of a 13 MP AI Primary camera, and a 2 MP depth sensor. All of that plus an AI Portrait Mode and AI Scene Detection.
