India’s No. 1 smartphone brand, Xiaomi, today launched Redmi 5A, starting at INR 4,999. The 5-inch Redmi 5A comes with a metallic matte finish and features a dedicated microSD card slot for storage expansion.
Offering up to 8 days of standby time, Redmi 5A is a successor to the hugely-popular Redmi 4A which sold four million units within eight months of its launch. Redmi 5A stands as a testament to Xiaomi’s continued efforts to offer high-end technology while making it accessible to as many people as possible.
Powered by the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 425 quad-core processor, Redmi 5A delivers fast and smooth performance. The phone comes with a 2+1 card slot that supports simultaneous use of two 4G nano SIM cards and a microSD card up to 128GB, a feature customized considering the usage habits of India’s Mi Fans. Redmi 5A boasts a 5-inch fully-laminated HD display and houses a 3000mAh long-lasting battery.
Redmi 5A comes equipped with a 13MP rear camera with Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF) for fast focusing and an f/2.2 aperture that guarantees excellent picture clarity. It comes with a metallic matte finish, and will be available in three colours: Dark grey, Gold and Rose gold.
Two variants of Redmi 5A will be made available for Indian buyers:
- 2GB RAM + 16GB storage: Priced at INR 4,999 for the first five million units, post which it will be available for INR 5,999
- 3GB RAM + 32GB storage: Priced at INR 6,999
The INR 1,000 discount on the 2GB + 16GB version of Redmi 5A reflects a gift from Xiaomi India towards all its Mi Fans for making the brand No. 1 in the country. This means that in total, Xiaomi India will be giving back INR 500 crore to the Mi Fan community in India.
