If you’ve been looking for a new handset, the Xiaomi Redmi is a great budget-friendly alternative for anyone keen to avoid the eye-watering price tags of higher-end devices.
The Xiaomi Redmi A2 can be found on Amazon’s best-selling mobiles page, so evidently, the extremely low price of the device is drawing customers in.
We’d call this a great choice if you’re after a temporary replacement, a new phone for a younger member of your family. Or maybe you’re just not fussed about spending substantially on your phone.
The Redmi A2 comes with the added bonus of it being unlocked for all service carriers: all you’ll have to do is pop your SIM in.
Xiaomi isn’t as well known as some other Android phone brands, so let’s take a quick look at how the device performs.
There’s nothing to worry about when it comes to screen size. It packs a 6.52-inch display, so streaming while out and about is a breeze – the all-new iPhone 15‘s is 6.12 inches by comparison.
It might not deliver cutting-edge tech with its 8MP dual camera system, but it’ll still do a perfectly fine job of snapping your day-to-day life.
Expect long periods between charge times as it packs a long-lasting 5000mAh battery, so all-day battery life is extremely likely depending on what you do with your screen time.
With a superb 4.2-star rating on the retailer’s site, it comes as no surprise that one shopper left a perfect rating of 5 stars and praised the device for being ‘good quality all-round while another calls it a ‘great phone.’
It’s also worth keeping in mind that Amazon Prime Day is the week after next, and there’ll likely be a whole lot more mobile deals on the way.
