**Unboxing and First Look: Redmi 5A**

We have the 3.5 mm headphone jack, which is a nice feature that Xiaomi devices are known for. Additionally, we still have the IR blaster, which is another convenient feature that many users appreciate. The device also features volume rockers and a power on/off button, both of which feel metallic, despite being made of plastic.

The design of the Redmi 5A is primarily plastic-coated, with some metal accents. This is an interesting contrast to other Xiaomi devices, which often feature more premium materials. Moving on to the ports, we have a microUSB port, main microphone, and two slots for SIM cards and microSD cards. The latter is a dedicated slot for SIM 2, allowing users to insert their second SIM card or a microSD card.

**Booting Up and Initial Setup**

Let's try booting up the Redmi 5A and see how it performs. As expected, the device boots up quickly, and we're presented with the usual Xiaomi MIUI setup process. We'll go through the configuration overview to get a better understanding of what this device has to offer.

The Redmi 5A comes equipped with a 5-inch 720p HD display, powered by the Snapdragon 425 chipset, which is a quad-core processor clocked at 1.4 gigahertz. It also features the Adreno 308 GPU and comes in two variants: 2GB RAM and 3GB RAM. The device has a dedicated microSD card slot, making it easy to expand storage.

**Camera Performance**

Moving on to the camera, we have a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. While we don't expect a lot from the camera performance of this device, let's take some snaps around my office to get an idea of how it performs. The exposure is decent, but tapping on the screen can sometimes make the exposure go a bit crazy.

**Software and Performance**

The Redmi 5A runs on Android 7.1.2 Nougat with MIUI 9.1. We've also noticed that there's no fingerprint scanner, so users will have to rely on traditional methods of authentication. In terms of performance, it should be very similar to the Redmi 4A, given that the processor is almost identical.

**Conclusion and Final Thoughts**

In conclusion, the Redmi 5A is a solid device that offers great value for its price. While it may not have some of the premium features found in other Xiaomi devices, it's still a reliable option for those looking for an affordable smartphone. We've taken some snaps around my office to give you a better idea of how the camera performs, and we're eager to hear your thoughts on this device.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi there this is Ranjith an and s-video will be doing the unboxing and have a first look at this read Nephi way by Xiaomi and this is a budget oriented a smartphone and this would be replacing the redmi for a this is the read me for a that was launched just this March so I'm surprised to see that they have now launched added me five way and in fact it is very similar to this one but let's have a look at the same and here at the back it gives us some specs that its sparked by the snapdragon 425 chipset which is a quad-core processor and it comes in actually two variants 2 gigabyte ram or three gigabyte ram with the 2 gigabyte RAM model we get 16gb of internal storage and with what do you say a three gigabyte RAM model we get 32gb of internal storage and here again it says Made in India it should be technically assembled in India so yeah anyway so it just says write any 5a over here let's just open this up and as you can see this is the device itself let's just take it out and this isn't that gold color finish that we are getting and we have this let's take this out now just keep the handset to the side phone now we come back to this later and we will also compare it with the red me for a and some paperwork and stuff that you are getting and warranty info and other stuff so that's what you are getting and that and sim ejector tool we also get the power brick it's surprisingly big for this phone and it has a normal charger guys with the output of 5 volts at just one amp not even two hours that is very surprising and sim ejector tool and micro USB to USB cables so let's keep this thing to the side and then let's have a look at the handset itself as you can see this is the handset it said and it's slightly that's very similar to this one I would say the corner are slightly more rounded on this one that's what I've noticed initially but yeah so on the back we have the camera speaker and it surprisingly says made in India actually it should be assembled in India anyways so yeah on the top we have the 3.5 mm headphone jack we are still having the IR blaster which is a nice thing I like that Xiaomi devices have that we have the volume rockers and power on/off button it feels like it's metallic guys but it's not it is plastic coated this entire realm is actually plastic coated this is not metallic microUSB port main microphone and we have actually two slots over here that is an interesting change so here your SIM card will go to sim one will go and your micro SD card will go and they have one more slot this is for your mean it's a sim 2 so dedicated to SIM cards you can put Ana SD card on this micro SD card so that's a nice thing and let's just try to boot this up now let's do the first boot for the same and gave me how pic feedback and by the time it boots up and I set it up let me give you a configuration overview this read me 5a has a 5-inch 720p HD screen at is part by the snapdragon 425 chipset which is a quad-core processor clocked at 1.4 gigahertz it has the audrina 308 GPU it comes in two variants 2 gigabyte RAM and or 3 gigabytes of RAM it's a dual SIM of a dedicated micro SD card slot moving to the camera it has a 13 megapixel rear facing camera and a 5 megapixel front facing camera and it has a 3000 milliamp hour battery so I've just finished setting up this device again as expected the typical me UI that you are getting so if you have used any Xiaomi device you should be familiar with this it has the auto brightness sensor and it also has that me remote that you're seeing let's see what the Android version you are getting and it has already found an update let's just go to the settings and about the phone as you can see it's running on the Android version seven point one point two and it's running on me UI nine point one so that's a new thing so but still Android noget that we are getting and still these back buttons that is back home and multitasking tray are not backlit and as you can see the one that we are having right now is the two gigabyte RAM variant and on that one out of that sixteen gigabytes only eight point eight seven gigabytes available so I would say this much internal storage is actually pretty low so if you are planning to purchase this device off for the three gigabyte RAM variant because internal storage though it has a dedicated micro sd card as a lot important for many apps but anyways that's what we have and again typical Xiaomi UI google apps are or pre-installed as you can see and let's just go back this is the multitasking trait that's so pretty simple interface that we are getting and we also have some Microsoft apps that are pre-installed so that is a new thing and yeah some third-party and just accept that apps so again the performance should be very similar to the redmi for a because the processor is almost the same on this one again this one also does not have any fingerprint a scanner so if you want fingerprint scanner you have to offer some higher variance of the redmi phone sadly no fingerprint scanner even on this one and let's just try to now fire up that camera again i don't expect a lot for the camera because it's a basic device and xiaomi is not famous for its camera let's be frank about that but we have that tap to focus but i immediately notice that the exposure as you notice right now it's decent exposure but if you tap the exposure is actually going a little bit crazy you have to adjust it like this if you hit the top to focus but anyways here are some of the snaps that I have taken with this read me five way around my office so that you can get a very quick and rough idea regarding it set camera performance before we move on it here is a word from sponsor of this video that is cash if I are you looking to buy this device or any other smartphone then sell your own mobile and laptops on cash if I dot end to unlock the best market price check out cash if I dot into and cash your phone in less than 60 seconds so guys that's it for now for this unboxing and first look at this rate me 5a so what do you think about this read me 5a do share your thoughts in the
