Reviews for the Xiaomi Redmi A5 4G
Source: Gadgetbyte Nepal
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.

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.

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.

71.4%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
