Snapdragon 4 Gen 5 Processor
Under the hood is the Snapdragon 4 Gen 5 Mobile Platform, built on a 4nm process. The octa-core layout pairs Cortex-A78 performance cores with Cortex-A55 efficiency cores at a maximum CPU frequency of 2.4GHz, and graphics run on an Adreno GPU.
Memory & Storage
India configurations cover 6GB + 128GB and 8GB + 128GB. Memory is LPDDR4X and storage is UFS 2.2.
Xiaomi’s memory extension feature borrows storage to add virtual RAM, taking the 8GB model to up to 16GB. Xiaomi notes the extension occupies a matching amount of ROM and only runs when free space allows. Storage is expandable by microSD card up to 2TB, with the card sold separately.
6.9-inch 120Hz Adaptive Display
The panel measures 6.9 inches (17.53 cm), with an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120Hz and a touch sampling rate of up to 240Hz. Brightness is rated at 825 nits in high brightness mode, and the screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i.
Three TÜV Rheinland certifications apply: Low Blue Light (software solution), Circadian Friendly and Flicker Free. DC dimming and a reading mode are also supported.
50MP AI Dual Camera
The rear setup pairs a 50MP main camera on a 5P lens at f/1.8 with an auxiliary lens, and Xiaomi includes a flicker sensor. Rear shooting modes cover HDR, Night mode, Auto night mode, Portrait, Time-lapse, dual camera recording, Document mode and FilmCamera.
On the front is an 8MP f/2.05 camera with a soft-light ring, supporting HDR, Portrait, Night mode, Time-lapse and dual camera recording.
Video recording tops out at 1080p at 30fps on both the rear and front cameras.
7900mAh Battery with 45W Charging
The India model carries a 7900mAh battery with 45W fast charging, and Xiaomi includes the charger in the box for this market. 22.5W wired reverse charging is supported for topping up other devices, and the port is USB Type-C.
Audio
Dual stereo speakers tuned with Xiaomi Sound handle audio, and a 3.5mm headphone jack is fitted. FM radio works through wired headphones. Video playback supports High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC).
Connectivity
The tray is a 3-in-2 hybrid arrangement taking two SIMs or one SIM plus a microSD card.
Indian band support covers 5G SA and NSA on n1/n3/n5/n8/n28/n40/n78, LTE FDD B1/3/5/8/28 and LTE TDD B40/41, WCDMA 1/5/8 and GSM 3/5/8. Wi-Fi covers 2.4GHz and 5GHz, and Bluetooth 5.1 handles short-range wireless. Positioning uses GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou.
Design and Build
A new RGB ring light surrounds the camera module, which Xiaomi describes as a first for the Redmi Number Series. The body measures 170.12 × 78.42 × 8.8 mm and weighs 232g.
Ingress protection is rated IP64, covering splash and dust resistance under laboratory conditions rather than immersion.
Security
A side-mounted fingerprint sensor handles biometrics, alongside AI face unlock.
Software and Update Support
The phone runs Xiaomi HyperOS 3. Xiaomi commits to 4 years of OS updates and 6 years of security updates, which is a longer window than this price bracket usually gets.
