Redmi 5A Gaming Review
I tried Modern Combat 5 it lagged and then I played Asphalt 8, it was smooth in medium quality mode. Since this handset is using a quad core processor you can play games in lower visual quality mode. Not really made for gaming users.
Redmi 5A Camera Review
Rear Camera : 13MP, f/2.2, low light enhancement, LED flash
Front Camera : 5MP, f/2.0, face recognition
Video Recording : 1080p Max
This handset can focus better cause of PDAF and daylight shots turned out great. Night shot are also pretty good. Overall camera quality is average, slightly better than as seen on the Redmi 4A. Selfie is good enough. Redmi 5A camera shots are good enough to share online.
5A can shoot FHD videos and can play FHD videos.
Camera Rating : 3.7 out of 5

This is what happens when you have limited knowledge. Check again it has the feature that you mentioned, but I have not used the compass word.

I think the production of Redmi 5A is not meeting the demand. It is hardly available either on Flipkart nor Mi Com. I guess for most buyers the choice is now 10orD.

Beware of the policies of the Flipkart.
Getting worst and pathetic day by day.
I have suffered 3 times.
Amazon rocks these days.
Better to try at mi.com app.
Now they should correct the pricing l’ll bit to boost sales.. They should remove Redmi 4A from market as it is very much similar to Redmi 5A
In my opinion
Redmi 5A (Sd425) for 4999(5″)
Redmi Y1 lite (sd425) for 5999(5.5″)
Redmi Y1 (sd435) for 7999(5.5″ with finger print sensor)
It will create a mad rush for some time i suppose
I hope, they will also launch the most appealing black variant as well👍
Whenever Gogi Bhai uses Awesomely awesome ..the phone dominates the mobile market like Mi3..when he used these words for the first time.
He also used this word for Mi A1 but its not came up to full expectations.
