Redmi A7 Pro Listed on Certifications, Specs Leak Ahead of India Launch

If certifications are the tech world’s version of smoke before fire, then the Redmi A7 Pro is about to go up in flames, in a good way. Xiaomi’s next budget phone has quietly appeared across multiple certification databases, and that’s usually the clearest sign that a launch is just around the corner.

The device has been spotted on TDRA (UAE), NBTC (Thailand), Indonesia’s SDPPI, and even the FCC. For budget phones, this level of regulatory activity almost always means the company is done testing and ready to sell. India is clearly on the roadmap, even if Xiaomi isn’t saying it out loud yet.

Redmi A7 Pro India Launch

The Redmi A7 Pro carries model numbers 25128RN17Y, 25128RN17A and 25128RN17L across different regions. That may sound boring, but here’s why it matters: Xiaomi doesn’t push a phone through this many markets unless it plans to scale, and India is still its biggest volume playground.

NBTC certification confirms the phone is a 4G LTE-only device, which makes sense. At this price segment, 5G is still more marketing than necessity. Xiaomi seems to be doubling down on affordability rather than chasing spec-sheet headlines.

In my view, this is a smart call. Entry-level buyers in India care far more about battery life and screen size than 5G logos.

Redmi A7 Pro Features

The FCC listing gives us the clearest look yet at what the Redmi A7 Pro brings to the table:

• 6.9-inch LCD display with HD+ resolution
• Unisoc T7250 processor
• Android 15 out of the box (likely Go Edition)
• 4GB RAM with 64GB or 128GB storage
• 6,000mAh battery
• 15W wired charging via USB-C

This is not a spec monster, and it’s not trying to be. Xiaomi is clearly following the Redmi A5 playbook, big screen, massive battery, clean Android and acceptable performance for daily use.

Some might complain about the Unisoc chip, but honestly, in this segment, stability matters more than benchmarks. The T7250 already powered the Redmi A5 and Poco C71 without major backlash.

Redmi A7 Pro Poco rebrand appears inevitable

Here’s where things get predictable, but still interesting. A device with model number 25128RN17G, listed as Poco C81, has also surfaced in Indonesia. That almost confirms what many of us expected: the Redmi A7 Pro will be rebranded as a Poco phone in select markets.

Xiaomi did the same with:

• Redmi A5 → Poco C71

This dual-brand strategy lets Xiaomi flood the market without technically competing with itself. From a consumer point of view, it’s slightly annoying, but if pricing is aggressive, most buyers won’t care.

Redmi A7 Pro vs Xiaomi Redmi 7 vs Redmi Note 7 Pro

To understand where the Redmi A7 Pro really stands, here’s a quick comparison with two older but popular Xiaomi phones:

Clearly, the Redmi A7 Pro isn’t about raw power. It’s about endurance, screen size and modern software, exactly what today’s budget users want.

Why the Redmi A7 Pro is a Smart Buy

The Redmi A7 Pro won’t excite spec lovers, but that’s not its job. Xiaomi is targeting first-time smartphone users, students, and anyone who wants a no-nonsense phone that lasts all day and doesn’t drain their wallet.

With Android 15, a massive battery, and an India launch all but confirmed, this phone is shaping up to be another quiet bestseller. Sometimes, boring phones are the ones that sell the most, and Xiaomi knows that better than anyone.

Expect an official announcement very soon.
