Xiaomi Nepal eventually launched a successor to last year’s Redmi 8A. From the company, Redmi 9A is one of the entry-level Android devices which comes with a budget-friendly price tag. Let’s have a look at the specifications of the Redmi 9A along with the price and availability in Nepal.
Talking about the display, this smartphone flaunts a 6.53” IPS LCD display with 1600 x 720 pixels HD+ resolution. Compared to its predecessor, it is bigger and has a better resolution. Furthermore, the Redmi 8’s display was protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5 but for this model, there is no mention of any protective glass.
On the rear, the camera has been moved to the top left corner. One can mark the strip starting from the camera module and running along the length of the device. The rest of the rear panel looks clean as there is an absence of a fingerprint sensor.
Redmi 8 came with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 439 chipset. This time, the company has decided to go with the Helio G25 chipset. It’s a span-new chipset under MediaTek’s gaming-focused G-series. Helio G25 is an octa-core processor based on the 12nm process which consists of eight ARM Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 2.0 GHz. Graphics are handled by Imagination PowerVR GE8320. The phone boosts on Android 10 with MIUI 12 on top.
Moving on to the memory, the device comes with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. Users can also expand the storage with the help of a microSD card slot in case the internal storage isn’t enough.
Moving on to the camera, there is a 12MP camera on the rear which is enclosed inside a pill-shaped module alongside an LED flash. With that being said, we did see Redmi announced Redmi 8A dual with the dual-camera setup. So we can still be optimistic about the Redmi 9A Dual. For selfies and video calls, the smartphone has a 5MP camera enclosed inside the waterdrop style notch.
This smartphone is fueled with a 5,000mAh battery. For charging, there is a micro USB port and comes with a 10W charging instead. To recall, the prior smartphone Redmi 8A had a Type C port with 18W fast charging support.
In Nepal, The price of Redmi 9A is Rs. 11,999 for the 2GB RAM, 32GB storage variant. This smartphone is available in almost all authorized stores along with online e-commerce stores like Daraz, Sastodeal.

The Redmi 9A is not ‘officially’ water-resistant and does not come with a certified IP rating. That said, it is draped in a toughened glass that provides an extra layer of safety, offering very mild resistance from the water.
For charging, there is a micro USB port and comes with a 10W charging instead. The Redmi 9A has stepped down from the Redmi 8A in the most important areas. Redmi 8A had two main selling points – support for 18W fast charging and a USB-C connector.
