Price in Pakistan
The Xiaomi Redmi A2 Plus is priced in Pakistan from Rs. 22,999 (Official, MobileDokan basis). The MobileDokan Official rows convert to Rs. 22,999 (3GB + 64GB) and Rs. 24,999 (4GB + 64GB); mymobile lists it from Rs. 20,999 (3GB + 64GB) with PTA approval — the MobileDokan figures are 1.10 times above, inside the programme’s tolerance, so the MobileDokan basis is used and the mymobile figure is named here.
3GB + 64GB — Rs. 22,999 (Official)
4GB + 64GB — Rs. 24,999 (Official)

Buying in Pakistan
- Check the IMEI and the exact model number (23028RNCAG) before paying.
- Confirm the warranty.
- Confirm PTA status via DIRBS — mymobile lists the phone as PTA Approved.
- Make sure the phone is the A2 Plus (with the rear fingerprint sensor) and not the base A2 (which has no fingerprint sensor).
Final Verdict: The cheapest Redmi with a fingerprint sensor — at the right price
The A2 Plus is the base Redmi A2 with a rear fingerprint sensor added, and that single feature is worth the small premium for a first phone or a backup. The 8MP camera, 720p display and 10W charging are basic, and the 3GB RAM model is the one to buy only for the lightest use. At Rs. 22,999 it is a fair entry-level buy; the 4GB model at Rs. 24,999 is the better pick for everyday use.
