Reviews for the Xiaomi Redmi A4
Source: India Today
Absolutely. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly 5G phone that doesn’t feel cheap, the Redmi A4 5G is a no-brainer. Xiaomi has truly set a new benchmark for what an entry-level smartphone can deliver. The Redmi A4 5G is a solid performer that punches well above its weight. With its premium design, smooth display, reliable performance, and long-lasting battery, it’s hard to believe it costs less than Rs 10,000. Yes, it has its limitations — the front camera and HD+ display being the main ones — but those are little compromises compared to everything else the phone offers.

Unlike most 5G phones that have launched in recent years, the Redmi A4, powered by the Snapdragon 4s Gen 2, only supports a standalone (SA) 5G network. This means the phone is only compatible with Jio’s 5G network and will not work on Airtel 5G based on non-standalone (NSA) technology. In fact, the upcoming 5G service by Vi is also NSA, and the Redmi A4 will not be compatible with that as well. Hence, the Redmi A4 is a Jio-only 5G smartphone in India. This limitation means the Redmi A4 is not a viable option for Airtel users or those looking to future-proof their device for broader 5G compatibility. However, for Jio customers seeking an affordable 5G smartphone, the Redmi A4 5G is an excellent choice that delivers solid performance and value.

Assisting the new chipset is a 5,160mAh battery. Given the smartphone's pricing, it is a bit surprising to find a 33W charger in the box. However, the Redmi A4 5G charges at 18W, so I am expecting faster charging speeds despite the slightly higher capacity over the Redmi A3. The few hours I have spent with the Redmi A4 5G have been enough to convince me that Xiaomi is out to stir up this much-ignored market segment. The segment as such has not been entirely ignored (there are still plenty of choices to pick from) but seems to be deprived of any innovation or sensible hardware choices over the past couple of years.

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
