Redmi 9A launches in India
Xiaomi launched the Redmi 9A in India. The entry-level smartphone is priced at Rs 6,799 for the basic variant. The new Redmi 9A succeeds the Redmi 8A which was launched in India last year.

Xiaomi announced the Redmi 9A through an online launch event on its official YouTube and social media channels. See the event summary below.
