Reviews for the Xiaomi Redmi A5 4G
What you get for $100: Testing Xiaomi’s cheapest smartphone
Source: Calcalistech
EN→zh-CN
It’s hard to set high expectations for such an inexpensive device, so there’s not much room for disappointment. The Redmi A5, in the configuration reviewed, costs about $115. There’s also a lower-end model with only 64GB of storage, priced at $100. Un ingénieur révèle: 1 astuce simple pour avoir internet sans abonnement. The device has its share of flaws: a screen that’s slightly dim and pale (improved somewhat with brightness adjustments), sluggish performance, and a lack of support for fast browsing both indoors and outdoors. On the plus side, the camera performs decently, the device runs a lightweight and up-to-date version of Android, and it’s mercifully free of bloatware. The key is targeting the right audience. This is a smartphone for users who need a basic, functional device, albeit a bit slow, with a full-day battery and a large, if low-quality, display. Anyone expecting more will need to spend at least two to three times more to get it.

Overall, to conclude, I think the Redmi A5 is the game changer in making smartphones accessible to people with limited budgets. So yeah, if your budget is really tight and if your usage is not intensive and all you do on your phone is use social media and make phone calls, this phone is the best option. Even for someone who is thinking of upgrading from a bar phone, or if you are in need of a budget secondary phone with great battery, this phone is worth it for the price. Just remember to get the 4GB variant, it will feel slightly faster! One thing to understand is that the limitation of a starter-budget phone like this is longevity. Because such phones have a weak processor, budget phones slow down easily and might become unusable after 1 or 1.5 years. So, if you are planning to use a certain phone for a long time, it’s better to invest a little more money and get a phone above 15k, like the Redmi 14C.

Redmi A5 Review: Smooth 120Hz Display and Big 5,200mAh Battery for Just $100!
Source: Tech X Reviews
EN→zh-CN
The Redmi A5 hits the market with a price tag that’s hard to ignore—just $105. For that kind of money, it’s almost shocking how much phone Xiaomi has managed to pack into this device. At first glance, you might think it’s just another budget phone, but once you start using it, you realize it punches way above its weight. The combination of a smooth 120Hz display, a reliable 5,200mAh battery, and a capable 32MP camera makes it feel like a steal. It’s not often you find a phone in this price range that doesn’t make you compromise on key features, but the Redmi A5 pulls it off.
