Redmi 8A Pro now official!

It's basically similar to the Redmi 8A, but with different cameras. It won't feature the 12MP f/1.8 Sony IMX363 w/ Dual PDAF. Instead, it'll be replaced with an unspecified 13MP f/2.2 shooter. But, it'll still be paired with the same 2MP f/2.4 depth camera.

The phone still flaunts a similar design with P2i water splash resistance in Midnight Grey, Sea Blue, and Sky White colors with a 6.22-inch 2.5D curved Gorilla Glass 5 protected IPS screen with HD+ resolution and 19:9 screen aspect ratio.

Inside, the handset is powered by the 12nm Snapdragon 439 SoC, 2GB or 3GB RAM, 32G storage, and 5,000mAh battery with 18W fast charging.
