Xiaomi has officially hiked the prices of two of its popular Redmi branded phones, Redmi 9A and 9A Sport. The new prices are effective from today. Moreover, they are now reflecting on Amazon and Xiaomi websites. But the question stands, as to why there is a hike? It is likely because of the ongoing semiconductor issue affecting MediaTek and other chipmakers and OEMs.
Both the Redmi 9A and 9A Sport are powered by the MediaTek Helio G25 chipset. They come with up to dual-cameras, 5000mAh battery, HD+ display, and textured polycarbonate build. Here are the new increased prices and a recall to their specifications.
