Redmi launches budget A7 phone and teases 7‑inch flagship prototype

In July 2026 Xiaomi’s Redmi brand introduced the Redmi A7, a low‑cost smartphone aimed at students, gig‑economy drivers and budget‑focused users. The device features a 6.88‑inch IPS LCD HD+ panel with a 120 Hz refresh rate, a Unisoc T7250 octa‑core processor, 3 GB RAM, 64 GB internal storage (expandable to 2 TB), a 13 MP rear camera, an 8 MP front camera, and a 5 200 mAh battery. It is sold through Thế Giới Di Động for roughly 3.59 million VND after a 100 000 VND discount for students and drivers.

Separately, a leak reported on 5 July 2026 suggests Redmi is developing a high‑performance phone with a massive 7‑inch display, 2K resolution, a high refresh‑rate panel, and a 10 000 mAh battery. The rumored specifications align with previous reports on a possible Redmi K100 model, positioning the phone against competitors such as Honor’s upcoming large‑screen devices. If confirmed, the device would mark a notable shift in flagship smartphone size and battery capacity for the brand.
