Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A (Y1) review

05 February 2018
This one is the only Note in the fifth Redmi generation but it’s not the Note 5 that had everyone drooling. In fact, what should’ve been the Note 5 is now known as the 5 Plus, which we recently reviewed. The Redmi 5 proper also got its share of our homepage. It’s now the Redmi Note 5A’s turn, an entry-level phablet with a high-res selfie camera but no wide screen for a change. Cheaper, simpler, ordinary.
