The Redmi series was always known for bringing decent specifications at a low pricing point. However, with the evolution of the numbered Redmi and Redmi Note smartphones, the specifications become more advanced and the price has risen. For that reason, Xiaomi decided to introduce the Redmi A-series, made of super-budget smartphones with modest specifications. These specs can still do the job for the less demanding users who want to enjoy casual gaming and social media apps. However, the prices are much lower when compared to other smartphones in Redmi's lineup. The latest entries in the series were the Redmi A2 and the Redmi A2+. These devices were released in March and May 2023, respectively. Now, the company is working on the Redmi A3.
