The Xiaomi Redmi 5A is a compact device with an unbeatable price-to-performance ratio. Nevertheless, it can only be recommended to those who do not need a lot of power and who will use it chiefly for taking occasional snapshots or sending messages via...

Xiaomi Redmi 5A review: The device that sets the bar for entry-level smartphones
