The Xiaomi Redmi A3 Pro delivers practical improvements over the earlier A3 version, targeting users who want dependable performance at a modest price. It introduces a large 6.88-inch IPS LCD with a smooth 90Hz refresh rate, paired with a 50 MP camera and a sizable 5160 mAh battery.
Display and Build Design Details
The design of the Redmi A3 Pro features a slim, matte-textured plastic back that helps reduce smudges. At 8.2mm thick and weighing 204g, it balances a slim form factor with room for its large display and battery.
The device maintains a clean profile with flat edges, contributing to an easy one-hand grip. A USB-C port is now included, offering wider compatibility with modern accessories.
The 6.88-inch IPS LCD spans most of the front surface, with thin bezels on the sides and a modest chin at the bottom. A waterdrop-style notch sits at the top center and holds the selfie camera.
With a resolution of 720 x 1640 pixels and a pixel density of about 260ppi, the screen ensures text and visuals remain sharp enough for daily tasks. The 90Hz refresh rate gives smoother visuals during scrolling or casual gaming sessions.
A circular camera module is positioned on the back, framed by a metal ring for a touch of style. It houses two visible camera lenses, a flash, and a branding circle.
The back panel also features the Redmi watermark at the base, adding subtle branding without excessive styling. Its minimalist design approach works well for users who prefer function over flash.
This model supports a dual SIM setup and offers a dedicated microSD card slot, allowing users to add external storage without sacrificing SIM functionality. The fingerprint scanner is embedded in the power button on the side, offering easy and quick unlocking.
Camera Performance and Video Features
The primary camera setup consists of a 50 MP wide lens with an f/1.8 aperture, ideal for outdoor photography and well-lit scenes. This sensor captures detailed photos that meet everyday needs for clarity and vibrancy.
An additional lens functions as a depth sensor, improving portrait shots by creating natural background blur. This secondary camera adds depth and helps refine the camera’s focus on subjects.
HDR support is included for better exposure balance, ensuring images have more detail in both bright and shadowed areas. An LED flash aids in low-light conditions where natural lighting is limited.
Video recording is capped at 1080p at 30fps, which is standard for mid-range smartphones in this category. This video resolution is suitable for casual creators and regular use without consuming too much storage.
The front-facing camera uses a 5 MP lens that also supports 1080p video capture. While it lacks higher resolution, it handles video calls and selfies for social media reliably.
For users who want something similar in the same price segment, phones like the Redmi A5 may also be considered. Budget-conscious shoppers can browse Redmi phones under ₦100,000 in Nigeria to explore more options.
Performance and Internal Hardware
Powering the Redmi A3 Pro is the Mediatek Helio G81 Ultra processor, designed for balance between speed and efficiency. This chipset is tailored for moderate usage scenarios common among everyday smartphone users.
The CPU configuration includes two Cortex-A75 cores running at 2.0 GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores at 1.8 GHz. This structure ensures the phone handles both high-demand and background tasks without a hitch.
A Mali-G52 MC2 GPU handles the graphics workload, making it suitable for video streaming and light gaming. Though not built for high-frame-rate gaming, it performs adequately with most common apps.
The device comes with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, offering sufficient memory for multitasking and room for apps, media, and downloads. Users needing more space can insert a microSD card in the dedicated slot.
With 4GB RAM, switching between basic apps is responsive. However, heavy multitasking may lead to slower performance in demanding use cases.
Running on Android 14 layered with Xiaomi’s HyperOS, the phone provides a smooth interface and extra personalization features. HyperOS allows gesture navigation, theme adjustments, and app cloning among other tweaks.
The user interface remains responsive, though some pre-installed apps may not be useful to all users. HyperOS adds a layer of customization that is often missing in similarly priced Android phones.
Battery and Connectivity
Battery life is one of the strongest points of the Redmi A3 Pro, with a 5160 mAh unit that comfortably lasts through a day of typical use. This includes browsing, media playback, social media, and light gaming.
Charging is limited to 10W via a USB Type-C 2.0 port. While not fast, the speed is acceptable for users who typically charge their phones overnight.
The phone supports Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi 6, which help with faster wireless connectivity and better performance in crowded network zones. Both connectivity options make a difference during file transfers and media streaming.
Mobile networks supported include 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE, but 5G is not available on this model. For users in areas without 5G coverage, this limitation has little impact.
Sensors include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, accelerometer, proximity sensor, and digital compass. These components allow smooth navigation, gesture support, and reliable screen behavior during calls or app use.
It also supports GPS with access to GLONASS, GALILEO, and BDS for accurate location tracking. These tools are essential for users relying on map-based services or delivery apps.
Price in Nigeria and Global Availability

Physical outlets in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Enugu, Kano, Kaduna, and Ibadan also stock the device. Buyers can walk into any of these locations for purchase or assistance.
Outside Nigeria, the Redmi A3 Pro is priced at around 10,999 BDT in Bangladesh, 38,999 PKR in Pakistan, and 8,990 INR in India. Pricing may vary based on taxes, shipping, and local retailer margins.
