Reviews for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A

70% Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Review
Source: PC Advisor English

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.

62% Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A (Y1) review

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.

Only few smartphones are more lightweight than this.
