Redmi A7 4G and A7 Pro 4G get Rs 1,000 price hike; base variant features just 3GB RAM
Amid the price-hike onslaught, the entry-level Redmi A7 4G and Redmi A7 Pro 4G are the latest devices to receive a price increase. Since the budget and midrange smartphone segments are most affected by the memory crisis, the price revision doesn’t come as a surprise. Just recently, POCO raised prices of the X8 Pro series and M8, and it seems like it’s now the turn for the Redmi A7 4G series.
Redmi A7, A7 Pro revised prices
| Variant | Launch price | Last price | Latest price |
| Redmi A7 4G | Rs 10,499 | Rs 11,499 | Rs 12,499 |
| Redmi A7 Pro 4G | Rs 11,499 | Rs 12,499 | Rs 13,499 |
Both the Redmi A7 4G and Redmi A7 Pro 4G are now Rs 2,000 more expensive than their launch prices. While the hike may not seem significant, it further reduces options for buyers looking for a smartphone under Rs 12,000. Additionally, the Redmi A7 is available in just one variant, 3GB RAM with 64GB storage.
Phones like the Lava Bold N2 5G now appear to be a stronger choice in this segment, as it offers 4GB RAM for the same price as the Redmi A7 4G (Rs 12,499). Additionally, the Unisoc T8200 chipset in the Lava device brings 5G support, allowing faster browsing and downloads. However, if you prefer a richer and more polished software experience, HyperOS 3 on the Redmi A7 delivers better in that regard, as Lava’s software currently offers fewer features.

Moving on to the Redmi A7 Pro, priced at Rs 13,499, it offers 4GB RAM (an upgrade over the Redmi A7) while keeping the same 64GB storage. However, it also lacks 5G connectivity. Therefore, if 5G is a top priority, it’s worth considering other similarly priced options like the Ai+ Nova Neo 2 5G.
