It had a small media launch a few days ago and in an unexpected way, we had a hands-on of Xiaomi's most affordable smartphone here in the country this year.
Here is the Xiaomi Redmi 5A in the front view which is pretty much the same from the other Redmi phones that I had in the recent years. Same good display quality. Oh, if you are looking on the specs, you can look at our blog post link here
We got the gold color in here which is still pretty good considering it's SRP here alongside with the camera and flash, that simple antenna lines, speaker grill and Xiaomi logo

I am quite happy on this as on the top, it has the 3.5 mm. audio jack, noise cancelling mic and IR blaster. You can never that IR blaster in the available phones here for under 5K. It will be better if the companion app can work on some popular set-top boxes
The bottom has pin hole mic and micro USB which I have to confirm if this one has OTG support
While we are still waiting for our own review unit, we had these camera samples shot in Satchmi Megamall which produced good color accuracy in their artifical light setting. The rear cam has f/2.2 and front cam has f/2.0 aperture
