When we saw the recent RedMi Y and Y Lite launches for the Indian market, or spotted copies of the most well-known RedMi Note 5A, I immediately thought of how Xiaomi wanted to change identity to its smartphones to unlatch them from that low-end device label now commonly associated with RedMi A series products.
So I was surprised to see how a small Xiaomi RedMi 5A, the same for the Chinese users, was offered just days ago, always for the Indian audience, but it has brought a welcome surprise to the official price list.
Xiaomi RedMi 5A arrives in India: same hardware of the Chinese counterpart, but a lower price!
About two weeks after the launch of the Chinese version, the Xiaomi RedMi 5A also landed on the Indian territories with a technical card that, although from a few claims, will represent the winning weapon with the launch price to gain entry in the market dedicated to entry level smartphones.
The small RedMi 5A can count on a 5-inch HD resolution display, which together with the poco energy-intensive Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 SoC, the 3.000 mAh battery and the rest of its technical equipment that you can find in detail in this article, represents the right purchase choice for those looking for a complete and balanced smartphone at a really irresistible cost.
Speaking of launch prices, it is worth pointing out that RedMi 5 for the Indian market has been proposed starting with 4.999 Rupie, a figure that, according to current exchange rates at around 65 Euros, is even lower than the 599 yuan ( about 76 euro) required in China.
The new RedMi A range of Xiaomi range, thanks to its launch on Indian territory, once again is a best buy. In short, the smartphone will be able to rely on the support of the Global branch of the MIUI 9, which in fact can be used officially by Italian users as well.
