Redmi A2

Redmi A2 — specs that matter for accessories

The Redmi A2 is an entry-level Xiaomi model with a flat 6.52-inch IPS LCD screen (720 × 1600) and a teardrop notch for the selfie camera. The body measures 164.9 × 76.8 × 9.1 mm and weighs 192 g. On the back there is a module with an 8 MP camera, an auxiliary sensor and a flash. The 5000 mAh battery charges through a microUSB port, next to a 3.5 mm headphone jack.

The Redmi A2 also comes as the Redmi A2+ — many glass protectors and films are described as compatible with both versions. Manufacturers also assign some glass to the Redmi A1. Later models — the Redmi A3 or Redmi A4 — have larger screens and different bodies.

Redmi A2 cases — clear and matte

Clear cases made of flexible TPU keep the look and colour of the phone while protecting it from scratches and scuffs. Matte cases in black do not collect fingerprints and sit better in the hand. Both types have a raised lip around the screen and camera, and their slim design makes it easy to slip the phone into a pocket.

Tempered glass and screen films for the Redmi A2

Tempered glass

Black-frame, full-adhesive glass protects the screen edge to edge. Slightly narrower versions work better with a case.

Hybrid glass

A flexible alternative to tempered glass — thinner and less prone to chipping at the edges.

Screen films and privacy glass

Ceramic film combines a hard surface with flexibility, hydrogel film adheres right up to the edge of the screen, and matte film reduces glare. Matte privacy glass narrows the viewing angle, which is useful on public transport.

Camera protection

Hybrid lens glass protects the camera from scratches — it is thin and does not affect photo quality.

What to look for when choosing

• No fingerprint reader — you do not need a case with a reader cut-out, and the glass does not affect unlocking.
• microUSB port — the phone does not charge with a USB-C cable; you will find a spare cable in the USB-A to microUSB cables category.
• A2 and A2+ compatibility — go by the list of models in the product name.

Glass or film — what to choose for the Redmi A2

Tempered glass gives you a hard, smooth surface and stands up best to scratches from keys or sand. Hybrid glass is thinner and does not crack at the edges, while films — hydrogel and ceramic — work well with any case. For a phone used by a child or an older person, a case combined with tempered glass is a good choice: it protects the screen and the back at the same time, and fitting it is simple.

You will find all phones in the series in the Redmi A Series category.
