Redmi introduced its most affordable phones – Redmi A2 and Redmi A2 +
A few days ago, Redmi officially unveiled the Note 12 line of phones, as well as smartwatches in Europe, as well as the Redmi Watch 3 smartwatch in Europe, and now it has come to the ultra-budget Redmi A2 and Redmi A2+. However, if a lot of attention was paid to other new products (at least they were talked about on the official Xiaomi Europe Twitter), then Redmi A2 and Redmi A2 + were simply added to the catalog on the official Mi.com website.
The characteristics of these models are the same, except that the older version has a fingerprint scanner – it is located in the center of the back panel.
The IPS screen is characterized by a diagonal of 6.52 inches and a resolution of 1600 x 720 pixels. The hardware platform is SoC MediaTek Helio G36, it is supplemented with 2-3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of flash memory. The front camera is 5 megapixel, the main one is 8 megapixel sensor. The battery capacity was 5000 mAh, it supports 10 W charging (and the corresponding power supply is included in the package).
Dimensions are 164.9 x 76.8 x 9.1 mm, weight – 192 grams. There is no NFC in these models, but there are standard headphone jacks.
Redmi has not announced the price of new products, but they are replacing Redmi A1 and Redmi A1 +, which were the most affordable smartphones from the manufacturer. Accordingly, now the title of the most affordable will go to Redmi A2 and Redmi A2 +.

Still cheaper than any other similar smartphone, but not so revolutionary. Motorola Razr and Razr Plus will be more expensive in the global market than in China
Motorola yesterday introduced foldable smartphones Moto Razr 40 and Moto Razr 40 Ultra, which turned out to be cheaper than all competitors, and the younger model even offers a revolutionary price for this segment at $560. However, these are Chinese prices, and in the global market everything is different, since new items are significantly more expensive there.
To start with, the Moto Razr 40 is called the Razr in the global market, and the Moto Razr 40 Ultra is called the Razr Plus.
In the US, apparently, only the latter will be sold at a price of $1,000. In Europe, they will already ask for 1200 euros for it. The base model Razr will be available in select countries in Europe, Latin America, and Asia, but pricing has not yet been announced. It is expected that it will be around 700-800 euros. It’s still cheaper than other similar smartphones, but not as revolutionary as $560.
