Redmi A1, Redmi 11 Prime launch date, expected specifications, price in India

Last week, Xiaomi announced it would launch the Redmi A1 on September 6, alongside the Redmi 11 Prime 5G and Redmi 11 Prime 4G. The launch is key as it is expected to mark Xiaomi’s return in the budget category. Xiaomi’s official India website already has a live link for both the phones, though the official live-stream video is not yet up. We expect Xiaomi will have a live-stream for the same on its official YouTube channel soon.  The Redmi A1 in particular is expected to start at under Rs 10,000.  Here’s a quick look at what these devices offer.
