Introduction and Performance

Xiaomi, the leader of budget smartphones unveiled its a new smartphone in December 2017, the Xiaomi Redmi 5A. This phone is a successor of the Redmi 4A, which was a big hit in the market.

The camera app is very basic and comes with a PDAF upgrade. The phone can shoot full-HD videos at 30fps.

The phone comes with Dual SIM slots with 4G Volte capabilities. Apart from that, WiFi, Radio, GPRS, NFC, USB, and Bluetooth 4.0 with A2DP are the connectivity options available in the phone.
