It is powered by MediaTek Helio G36 processor, paired with up to 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, which is further expandable. The phones support dual-SIM networks but limited to 4G LTE, and you have a separate microSD card slot for storage expansion. For imaging you have an 8MP camera at the back, and a 5MP front shooter.
The only difference between the Redmi A2 and the A2+ is that the latter has a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. The Redmi A2 series packs a 5000mAh battery that supports charging via microUSB port. The phone also has FM Radio and 3.5mm headphone jack. Xiaomi says it is giving the charger in the box.
Xiaomi started its journey in the budget segment but lately it has been more active in the mid-range and the premium segment. With the Redmi A2 series it is looking to focus on a market which is yet to experience the internet, let alone 4G in the country.
