Redmi A2 Surfaces on Google Play Console Could Feature MediaTek Helio G36 SoC: Report

Redmi A2 is expected to debut later this year as the successor to the Redmi A1 smartphone that arrived last year. As is the case with Redmi’s A-series smartphones, the alleged Redmi A2 should also be a budget offering. The smartphone which has already been spotted on various certification websites including the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and Thailand’s National Broadcasting and Telecommunication Commission (NBTC) has now reportedly been spotted on a Google Play Console listing, revealing some key specs of the next affordable smartphone.

According to a report from Gizmochina, a Redmi handset with model number 23026RN54G, believed to be the Redmi A2, has been spotted on Google Play Console. As is the case with Google Play Console listings, some key specs of the handset likely to be the Redmi A2 have been revealed.

The listing suggests that the Redmi A2 is powered by a MediaTek Helio G36 SoC, with four A53 main cores clocked at 2.3GHz, while its silver cores are clocked at 1.8GHz. The handset could also house a PowerVR GE8320 GPU, under its hood, according to the report

The smartphone is expected to sport an HD+ display with a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels. The handset could be equipped with at least 2GB of RAM while running Android 13 (Go Edition) out of the box. The image attached to the Google Play Console listing suggests that the smartphone sports a center-aligned punch-hole cutout for its selfie camera which is expected to house a 5-megapixel sensor. The rear is expected to feature a dual-camera setup, led by an 8-megapixel main sensor, followed by a 2-megapixel depth sensor. A previous rumor had suggested that the smartphone would sport a teardrop notch on the front.

The Redmi A2 is expected to be powered by a 5,000mAh battery which will support 10W charging in Europe. The handset could feature a single speaker and a 3.55mm headphone jack. Connectivity-wise, it could come with a dual-SIM slot and support Bluetooth 5.0 and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. However, it should be noted that the company has not yet officially announced its intention to launch the Redmi A2, nor revealed any details of its specifications.
