Redmi 7A announced with Snapdragon 439 and 4,000 mAh battery

Xiaomi's Redmi brand just announced its most affordable smartphone from the series - the Redmi 7A. The handset is a direct successor to the Redmi 6A and packs a couple of hard to find features for the asking price.
 
For starters, the phone runs on a Snapdragon 439 chipset, which in turn drives the notch-less 5.45-inch HD+ (720 x 1440px) screen with a trendy 18:9 aspect ratio. The screen is also slightly curved to the sides.
 
Memory is either 2GB with 16GB internal storage or 3GB/32GB with expandable storage via microSD up to 256GB.
 
In the camera department, the smartphone carries a 13MP main unit with PDAF and LED flash while on the front we get a 5MP snapper.
 
A 4,000 mAh battery is providing all the juice and given the rather energy-efficient Snapdragon 439, we expect the Redmi 7A to have killer battery life. It also launches with Android 9.0 Pie out of the box.
 
And since it's no longer a given, it's important to note that the device comes with a 3.5mm audio jack. Moreover, the Redmi 7A boasts P2i splash resistant certificate or in other words - a water-repellent nanocoating like most of Motorola's devices.
 
The smartphone will come in black and blue colors with a launch price of $87.
