A XiaomiTime report says that the Redmi A5 and Poco C71 will likely be powered by the Unisoc T615 chipset. The handsets reportedly carry the model number C3Z. In select global markets outside of India, the Redmi A5 is tipped to launch as Poco C71.

The Unisoc T615 SoC includes two ARM Cortex-A75 cores, six Cortex-A55 cores, and an ARM Mali-G57 MP1 GPU. It supports LPDDR4x memory as well as both eMMC5.1 and UFS2.2 storage. It is the same processor that the Tecno Spark Go 1 launched with, in August 2024.

It is expected to be offered in RAM and storage configurations of 3GB + 64GB, 4GB + 64GB and 6GB + 128GB. Connectivity options are said to include 5G, dual-band Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth.
