Affordable Xiaomi Redmi A1 with Helio A22 Launched in Nepal

Xiaomi today launched Redmi A1 in Nepal. Redmi A1 is the first device in Redmi’s new A lineup of smartphones.

The Xiaomi Redmi A1 price in Nepal is Rs. 11,999. The phone is available at mobile retail stores across Nepal.

The Redmi A1 is an entry-level phone that runs on light and clean Android. Let’s go through its specifications and features.

Xiaomi Redmi A1 Overview

Design

The Redmi A1 comes in three colour options, namely Light Green, Light Blue, and Black. The design of the rear camera setup has taken inspiration from the Mi 11 and Mi 11 Lite.

The phone features a plastic body with a leather-like texture that helps with grip and avoids smudges. Both the power and volume buttons are on the left side of the device, while the bottom side houses a 3.5mm headphone jack, micro-USB port, and mic.

The dual SIM card tray on the right has a dedicated slot for a microSD card. Interestingly, the speaker is located on the top. Sadly, we do not get a fingerprint sensor with the Redmi A1. If you want a fingerprint sensor, you can go with the Redmi A1 Plus, which is the same device with a fingerprint sensor.
