Camera

The main disappointment on this Redmi 8A is its Rear Camera which has a single sensor. If you can add Rs.2K on the price of Redmi 8A, you can get Redmi 8 which is also available in Nepal priced below Rs.15K as Redmi 8 comes with Dual Rear Camera. Most of the devices in this price range are offering at least a dual camera set up. But the only single camera is powerful enough to take stunning images. It has a 12MP AI Primary Camera with a Sony IMX363 sensor having f/1.8 aperture. This AI camera offers AI Portrait and AI Scene Detection features. The 1.4 μm pixel helps in low light photography to better shots.

Additionally, it has two other dedicated slots for Dual-SIM.

Battery

The handy upgrade can be seen on its battery. There is a huge 5,000mAh battery in Redmi 8A with the support of 18W Fast Charge. FYI, iPhone 11 Pro Max also comes with 18W fast charge support.
