Redmi 8A features 6.2-inch HD+ display protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 5. It has a waterdrop note above the display and thin side bezels. The phone has a plastic back with Aura wave grip design. It is also splash resistant. The phone comes in Midnight Black, Ocean Blue, and Sunset Red colors.
It packs Octa-Core Snapdragon 439 processor with Adreno 505 GPU. The 2GB and 3GB RAM models have 32GB storage. The phone runs on MIUI 10 based on Android 9.0 (Pie).
