XIAOMI REDMI A5 Smartphone 3+64GB Black 6.52” HD+ Display Dual SIM

I ordered this phone to replace my husband's old handset as that is only configured for 3G so will be off network by the end of the year. I was looking for the most cost effective way to get him a phone that was suitable for calls, text messaging, streaming sporting events and for the couple of apps he uses. He mainly needs a phone to be a phone with a few extra benefits - such as a local area taxi app. The phone itself is incredibly lightweight, makes a big change from his old handset. The screen is large and is the full size of the front of the phone. Colour resolution seems to be pretty good with good contrasts. The camera is a basic but does the job. For us the camera quality is not particularly important - the only photos he tends to take are when he is out shopping and wants to send me an image of a product. Set up was so simple, I was absolutely amazed. I was transferring from one Android phone to another and I just needed to have them sat next to each other and turned on. The Redmi A5 even prompts you when to pop your micro-SD card in. Transferred all apps, messages and contacts on to the A5 from his Moto G7 (yes, you read that right a 2019 model and the only reason we are upgrading is that it only supports 3G - even the battery life is pretty darn good still) with no issues and everythign works as anticipated. The fingerprint scanner is just plain weird though. Instead of being on the screen it is sited on the on/off button mounted to the side of the phone. Seems to be hit and miss with it working and I think this is due to the location - you can use a PIN instead so that is what we have settled on. Torch is incredibly bright and easy to access by swiping down. Charging is via an included USB-C cable and seems to charge pretty quickly. Overall, considering the budget price of this phone it does everything we need (and likely more!)

Very happy with my Redmi Smartphone, which does everything I need and more. It's my first Smartphone and was very reasonably priced. The camera is great and easy to use. Battery life is very good and it works well on the internet listening to tunes on Spotify or using social media.

For a budget phone this is excellent, it does everything my Samsung does, very easy to set up, and a good size screen, i highly recommend this phone if you looking for a reliable phone at a great price.

The purchase of the year !! Well I ordered the Redme phone I was purchasing a standby as was regularly “loosing my apple phone and getting a bit cross with myself I had already bought a cheap Nokia which was not up to scratch sooo I had a look n thought about looking amongst the Amazon offerings I chose a redme phone for under £60 and waited to be disappointed !! Well was I wrong it has turned out to be impressive / I’m still working at it as it is quite different to my present I phone the reds turned up in very similar case to the Amazon beautifully finished and ready to go My present I phone is due to be returned towards a newer model…….. however the huuuge difference in cost needs closer looking at I’m still learning about my redme and still wonder about what I have for the money very pleased with the purchase and the performance A new hobby possibly but I will not look down on less expensive products again the only difficulty is that I have havd an phone for many years but this item has woken me up to check the value of all the kit I buy and not fall for buying anything without just a little research !!

Very good quality for the price, minimal lag when navigating the phone. Gave it to someone as a gift and they loved it. Screen is huge ! Which was a bonus.

A nice portable phone. Every feature is unique. It has a good battery life and very easy to use .

Bought this at a bargin discounted price £56 3gig ram variant back in the summer for a friend who likes her device strapped to her 24/7 this replaced her broken device and as a user who phone never out her clutches she is well pleased with it. Does everything she requires such as social media, chats, movies, music and calls. Got a really large screen. Good all round budget preformer It does not seem laggy in the slightest. Camera is never going to be high spec super doopa but having video conferenced her it does the job well. I give it 5 stars because for the coin it delivers.

Lovely for the price

Works like a handy

It doesn't come with a SIM or or charger port. But seems good, otherwise. Thank you.
