Xiaomi Redmi 8A Dual: Specifications and Features Starting with the display, the Redmi 8A Dual features a 6.22-inch HD+ screen on the front with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection and Dot Notch display. As expected, it’s an IPS LCD panel we saw on the Redmi 8A. The device will be available in three colour options- Sea Blue, Midnight Grey and Sky White; It features a new Aura XGrip design, which according to Xiaomi is an improvement over the Aura Wave Grip design we saw on the Redmi 8A. Underneath, the phone has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 439 chipset, paired with 2GB/3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. Since it’s an entry-level smartphone, Xiaomi has added a dedicated microSD card slot for storage expansion up to 512GB. The phone is backed by a 5000mAh battery and offers 18W fast charging support. Sadly, Xiaomi will not bundle the fast charger inside the retail box. Connectivity options on the Redmi 8A Dual include Dual 4G, VoLTE, VoWi-Fi, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS and a USB Type-C port. The phone also has a 3.5mm headphone jack beside the Type-C port on the bottom side. The USP of the Redmi 8A Dual will be its dual-camera setup on the back. Xiaomi has added a primary 12MP shooter on the back which is now paired with a 2MP depth sensor. Xiaomi says the secondary depth sensor will help in capturing bokeh effect that’s required for portrait shots. On the front, the handset has an 8MP selfie shooter. Other features of the Redmi 8A Dual include Google Lens within the stock camera app, wireless FM Radio and powerful speakers.
