Xiaomi has revised the prices of several Redmi smartphones and tablets in India amid the ongoing memory component price hike. The latest price revision affects the budget-focused Redmi A7 4G and Redmi A7 Pro 4G smartphones along with the Redmi Pad 2, Redmi Pad 2 Pro, Redmi Pad 2 Pro 5G, and Xiaomi Pad 8 tablet lineup.

The revised prices are effective from July 14, 2026.

Redmi A7 4G and Redmi A7 Pro 4G Get Another Price Hike

The latest price revision comes as the budget and mid-range smartphone segments continue to be impacted by the ongoing memory shortage. Recently, POCO increased the prices of the X8 Pro series and M8 smartphones, and now the Redmi A7 lineup has also become more expensive.

The updated prices are as follows –

Model Launch Price Previous Price New Price
Redmi A7 4G ₹10,499 ₹11499 ₹12,499
Redmi A7 Pro 4G ₹11,499 ₹12,499 ₹13,499

With the latest revision, both smartphones now cost ₹2,000 more than their launch prices. Although the increase may appear modest, it further narrows the choices available to buyers looking for smartphones priced under ₹12,000.

The Redmi A7 is currently available in a single 3GB RAM + 64GB storage variant.

Redmi Pad 2, Redmi Pad 2 Pro and Xiaomi Pad 8 Prices Also Revised

Apart from smartphones, Xiaomi has also increased the prices of several Redmi and Xiaomi tablets by ₹1,000 to ₹2,000.

The internal pricing document also indicates that the revised prices came into effect on July 14, 2026.

Memory Shortage Continues to Push Device Prices Higher

The latest revision is part of a broader trend across the smartphone industry, where brands are increasing prices due to rising costs of memory and storage components. Budget and mid-range devices have been among the hardest hit, leading to multiple price revisions over the past few weeks.

With the latest hike, buyers planning to purchase the Redmi A7 series or Xiaomi’s latest tablets will now have to pay more than the original launch prices.
