Hands-on with Xiaomi Redmi 5A: Is it Worth the Price?
Let's delve into reviewing this device hands-on to determine whether Xiaomi Redmi 5A, with its incredibly attractive price point, lives up to expectations.
1. Assessment from the device's packaging
From the exterior packaging, Xiaomi Redmi 5A is stored in a simple device box, bearing minimal differences compared to previous Xiaomi devices like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4. On the top side of the box, we can find product details for the Redmi 5A.
On the rear side of the Redmi 5A box, we find comprehensive information about the device such as screen size, camera specs, memory, and CPU chip. Additionally, towards the bottom, we can find details like IMEI number, Serial number, etc.
Alongside, the version utilized by Mytour.vn for this hands-on review of Xiaomi Redmi 5A is the International version, labeled as Global Version on the box as shown below.
2. Included Accessories
Given the unbelievably low price of Xiaomi Redmi 5A, are there any noteworthy accessories included with this device?
Accessories accompanying this device include a charging brick, charging cable, and SIM ejector pin, typical of Xiaomi devices nowadays.
Moreover, the included charging brick for the Xiaomi Redmi 5A does not support fast charging. Nonetheless, this is understandable given the device's price point and its impressive specifications.

Physical buttons remain intact on the right side of the device, facilitating users to swiftly execute actions like adjusting volume, using the Power button, or capturing screenshots on the Xiaomi Redmi 5A.
One noticeable difference you can easily discern between previous Xiaomi devices and the Redmi 5A is that this device lacks fingerprint sensor support.
However, we do have a faux metal design that allows users to grip the device comfortably and enhances its visual appeal during usage and hands-on experience with the Xiaomi Redmi 5A.
With the Xiaomi Redmi 5A, the rounded corners provide a highly comfortable grip, and at the top of the device, we still have a 3.5mm headphone jack, sensor components, and a microphone.
Regarding the bottom part of the device, we'll notice a significant change between the Redmi 5A and other current devices, which is that the device's speaker will also be placed on the rear of the device instead of at the bottom like most phones today. Hence, we'll only have a Micro USB charging port and a microphone for calls at the bottom of the device.
4. On the device's operational performance
As mentioned earlier, the Xiaomi Redmi 5A currently runs on Android 7.1.2 operating system along with the latest MIUI 9.1 customization, a combination that few competitors in the same price range can match, providing users with an enjoyable experience with this phone.
Moreover, we can also utilize basic features on a modern smartphone such as 3G, 4G data connection, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other smart customizations integrated by the manufacturer into the quick settings panel of the device.
