Xiaomi Redmi A7 Price in Kenya
The Xiaomi Redmi A7 (4G) price in Kenya is KSh 14,399 at Avechi for the 3GB/64GB model. It is in stock with a 1-year warranty, and you can choose delivery or pick-up from our Nairobi shop.
Xiaomi announced the Redmi A7 in April 2026 as one of its cheapest smartphones. It runs a light Go edition of Android 15 suited to its 3GB of RAM, with a 6.88-inch 120Hz screen and a 5,200mAh battery. It makes sense as a first phone, a phone for an older relative, or a simple second device for M-Pesa, calls and WhatsApp.

- Low price, big screen. For KSh 14,399 you get a 6.88-inch display that refreshes at up to 120Hz, which makes menus and feeds feel smoother than older budget phones.
- Software sized for the hardware. The Go edition of Android uses lighter apps, which helps a 3GB phone stay responsive.
- Good battery for basic use. A 5,200mAh cell easily covers a day of calls, messages and some video.
- Room to grow. The separate microSD slot lets you add storage for photos and music while keeping two SIM cards in.
- Light for its size. At 193g it is noticeably lighter than many 6.9-inch phones.
