Redmi A4 5G was launched in India earlier this week as the latest affordable 5G offering from the Xiaomi sub-brand. As the new phone is gearing up to go on sale starting next week, its listing on the company website reveals that it does not support Airtel 5G in India. Unlike recent 5G offerings, the Redmi A4 5G is only compatible with SA (standalone) 5G networks in the country. It runs on Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 chipset and has a 50-megapixel dual rear camera setup.
As per the product page of Redmi A4 5G on Mi Website, the handset supports 4G and SA (standalone) 5G networks. The listing states that the handset does not support 5G NSA (non-standalone). Airtel’s 5G network in India is based on the NSA architecture and this makes the new Redmi phone unsuitable with Airtel 5G.
