Imagine a budget phone with a battery that refuses to quit. It's not a fantasy—Redmi's A7 Pro has just surfaced in a string of certification filings, and the paperwork sketches a clear, no-nonsense profile: a very large display, a hefty 6,000 mAh cell, and Unisoc silicon where you might expect a more familiar name.
The trail runs through several regulators. TDRA in the UAE lists the device as model 25128RN17Y, NBTC in Thailand and SDPPI in Indonesia show 25128RN17A, and the FCC filing carries 25128RN17L. When multiple agencies repeat the same numbers, a launch is usually around the corner.
Specs are surprisingly straightforward. The A7 Pro appears to use a Unisoc T7250 4G-only SoC, coupled with 4GB of RAM and options for 64GB or 128GB storage. The screen is a roomy 6.9 inches, and the battery — yes, the headline — is 6,000 mAh with support for 15W wired charging. One eyebrow-raiser: the phone seems destined to ship with Android 15, even though Android 16 has been available for months.
Technical specifications at a glance:
- Processor: Unisoc T7250 (4G)
- Memory: 4GB RAM
- Storage: 64GB / 128GB
- Display: 6.9-inch
- Battery: 6,000 mAh with 15W wired charging
- Software: Android 15 out of the box
There’s another piece to the puzzle. An SDPPI entry in Indonesia lists model 25128RN17G as the Poco C81 — a hint that Xiaomi will rebadge the same hardware across its brands. Same chassis, different nameplate. Both the Redmi A7 Pro and the Poco C81 are expected to appear in India, where Xiaomi's sub-brands often debut budget handsets in quick succession.
Why pick the Unisoc T7250? It’s a pragmatic choice: efficient, cost-conscious, and kinder to battery life than higher-power chips. Performance won’t impress power users, but for anyone who values all-day endurance and a big screen, the compromises are reasonable. Still, shipping on Android 15 feels like a missed opportunity—software is a big part of perceived value these days.
When will we see the phones officially? The certifications point to an imminent reveal. Pricing, camera details and regional variants should follow soon. If long runtime and a large display are top of your checklist, this one is worth watching. Will a 6,000 mAh battery be enough to lure buyers away from faster rivals? Time will tell.
