Reviews for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A

70% Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Review
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
The 2GB RAM model we reviewed lacks features compared to the better-specced Redmi Note 5A options that cost only slightly more. There's no fingerprint scanner, a slower processor, a less impressive selfie camera and less memory and storage.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A stays true to traditions with a bargain price and a reasonable level of equipment. Just don't be misled that the 'Note' moniker means the same it meant for the Redmi Note 4. This one is positioned lower in the foodchain. If you are alright with that, it won't disappoint a Redmi fan. And if you're keen on selfies it's quite a tempting offer.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A is a mid-range device with average features in very reasonable price range. It has given us a very good camera results and performance in every section but it should have at least 3GB RAM. Rest of the features are good in this price. If you are looking for 4G device with good price and features, go for Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A.

The popularity of Xiaomi’s Redmi phones, which can easily be seen online, does not come without good reason. The Redmi Note 5A is surely no exception. While it has a downgraded chipset compared to its predecessors, it is still a very capable phone in terms of performance. Its overall camera performance is very good, and its great design and UI make it a device that’s great to have.

Comment

Qualcomm Adreno 308: Integrated mid-range graphics card in the Snapdragon 425 SoCs that supports OpenGL ES 3.0 and features unified shaders.

These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


425: Entry-level SoC that was announced in February 2016. It integrates 4 ARM Cortex-A53 CPU cores clocked at up to 1.4 GHz, an LPDDR3 memory controller and wireless radios for WiFi and 4G/LTE.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


5.50":

It is a very small display format for smartphones. You should by no means be mis-sighted and you will generally see very little on the screen and only have a small resolution available. In return, the device should be very small and handy.

» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.


Xiaomi:

Founded in 2010, Xiaomi Corporation is a Chinese multinational electronics company and produces consumer electronics and related products, including smartphones, televisions, fitness bands, power banks, headphones, smart devices and accessories. Xiaomi offers its products under the Mi, Redmi and POCO brands.


69.86%: 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.
