Xiaomi is almost always a good choice for mobile users looking for budget smartphones. The Xiaomi Redmi 5A specs read like a mild upgrade to the Redmi 4A from 2016. The 5A has a 5-inch display, 3000 mAh battery, Snapdragon 425 processor coupled with 2 GB of RAM, and a 13 megapixel main camera. Not bad for the $90 price tag.
At that price point, there is no fingerprint sensor or toughened glass in this package. And there is no mention of fast charging. If you are a bargain hunter, you need to have a look to see if this is what the doctor prescribed for you.
