A slightly simplified version of the fifth generation of the popular Note line. Instead of the Snapdragon 660, it uses a lower level chip from Qualcomm at number 435. The smartphone is equipped with 2 GB of RAM, and the volume of the built-in storage is 16 GB (including Android 7.0). Memory expansion is possible by sacrificing a second SIM. Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A 16GB has a 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels, covered with 2.5D glass. The smartphone has a good photographic component – a 13 MP rear module and a 5 MP selfie camera. According to the good old tradition, the device was also equipped with an IR port for remote control of third-party equipment. The rest of the set of communication modules is quite standard and is represented by Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS. User data...is reliably protected by a fingerprint scanner, and the built-in 3080 mAh battery takes care of the device's battery life.

Why do smartphones start to slow down and what amount of RAM is now considered optimal?Let's explore the reasons for the slowdown and the optimal amount of RAM for smartphones

The large-format Xiaomi Redmi Note 5a is the successor to the range of affordable smartphones from the Chinese manufacturer in a recognizable performance style and with balanced characteristics.

Younger brother

The assets of the younger model of the series include a 4-core Snapdragon 425 processor and 2/16 GB of memory, while on board modifications for 32 GB and 64 GB, a more powerful entry-level Snapdragon 435 chip is installed, supplemented by 3 and 4 GB of RAM, respectively. The difference between versions with different amounts of memory also lies in the resolution of the front camera: the youngest of the brothers uses a 5 MP module for taking selfies, and the older ones use a 16 MP camera with its own flash. On the back of the gadget, you can find a 13 MP photomodule, which takes excellent pictures during the day and produces acceptable frames in low light conditions.

big screen

The screen of the device, frankly, does not shine with high resolution, given the 5.5-inch diagonal size. Nevertheless, the quality of the picture displayed on it is rated as high. What can I say, HD-resolution suits many on the screens of not only tablets, but also laptops, and in this case, the graininess is clearly not so pronounced.

Attractive character traits

If you show activity in every possible way, loading your smartphone with everyday tasks (browsing on the Internet, chatting on social networks, watching videos), the model will be asked to the outlet by the end of the day — this is how much energy a 3080 mAh battery holds. A nice bonus for smartphone owners will be the full-size tray they adopted for two SIM cards and a microSD drive, which eliminates the pain of choosing between two SIM cards or memory expansion. Finally, the highlight of the programme is the fingerprint sensor, which is very nice to see in the arsenal of devices in the lower price range.
