Performance and Software
Running on Android 12 (Go edition) with MIUI 12, the Redmi A1 is designed to offer a smooth experience on modest hardware. The Mediatek MT6761 Helio A22 chipset powers the device, featuring a quad-core 2.0 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU and PowerVR GE8320 GPU. These components ensure that the phone handles basic tasks competently, but heavy gaming or intensive multitasking could pose challenges due to the limited processing power. The presence of either 2GB or 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, expandable via a dedicated microSD slot, provides basic functionality with room for essential apps and media.
