Just presented, Redmi 5A has confirmed it to be the clear successor to what had been for many to choose a "forklift"More obvious. Xiaomi Redmi 4Ain fact, had been presented with the aim of lowering the lower end price batteries: with less than 100 Euros, it was possible - and still is - to get a smartphone of course, of course accepting some compromises. Unlike what XMUMXA Redmi did, however, Xiaomi would seem to have also improved the photo gallery, realizing a Redmi 5A of which President Lin Bin is very proud of.
If we think, in fact, the air of renewal not only aesthetic he has invested the Redmi A series, allowing Xiaomi to make the shapes of his new Redmi 5A much more harmonious, while still decreasing selling price (599 yuan are approximately EUR 77) and making a step forward at level of camera. This improvement should be evaluated by considering the decrease in sales price in parallel!
And that's exactly what we are going to talk about. There Redmi 5A camera.
As far as level is concerned hardware the improvement seems to have not been - the rear camera from 13 Mpx f / 2.2 and front by 5 Mpx -, Redmi 5A introduces a new level of optimization able to take advantage of the photo hardware already on the predecessor. The introduction of the PDAF (Phase Detection Auto Focus), the absolute novelty of the A series of Redmi, guarantees a better understanding of the scene to be photographed and, therefore, a best quality of clicks.
Obviously speaking of an economical smartphone, so let's not expect to become the next Helmut Newton with a simple click from the phone, but at least the quality of the "smartphoniani" shots will reach one acceptable level ... always keeping in mind the price of the device!
And this time, it is the same president of Xiaomi to reveal some shots made with the new low-cost device of the company. Do not waste any more time and let's show you how the new Xiaomi Redmi 5A behaves at a photo level.
As we can see, i colors are much saturated with the XMIUMXA shots and, especially in good light conditions, the newborn's camera Xiaomi Redmi 5A it does not disagree discreet clicks which can always make us comfortable.
I will not go wrong with a technical analysis of the photographic shots shown, also because the quality of the shots is inevitably compressed, but I just want to confirm what has been said so far: Redmi 5A is a step both for the price and for the photographic sector. Obviously we do not expect big improvements, but in proportion, this ongoing search for improvement can only do well with smartphones that ... cost less than 100 euros!

As I see it, to bring down the cost compared to the 4A they have done nothing but remove IRDA, some battery and certainly more.
Moreover, after one year the prices of the components, being the same, cost less.
the choice must be seen in this light: since they cost poco, it makes no sense to focus on software development, but by presenting a new device the following year with an operating system update, you encourage the customer to change phones more often
The purpose is clearly to sell.
I hope the community leverages the ROMs of this 5A and the 5A Note to make a nice porting on the 4A.
