Xiaomi Redmi A1+ - Smartphone 32GB, 2GB RAM, Dual Sim, Light Blue

Product Information

As mentioned earlier, Xiaomi has dispensed with MIUI skin in this case and gone for the cleaner Android 12 Go alternative. The 5,000mAh battery is good to last for at least two days given the lack of heavy processing on the chipset. I am facing a software issue, The phone is very slow and when I tried to replace my phone through the service center as per policy, but the service centre was denied. When it comes to build quality, it’s no surprise that the device is made of plastic, which doesn’t give it a premium feel.

I would recommend not using the camera in low light as the shots produced are, to put it mildly, not good. Normally, on a phone with a mono speaker, fingers tend to easily block the grille, resulting in a muffled sound. The plastic back has a single-tone, textured finish to it which looks quite clean and prevents smudging.

Keep in mind that the Redmi A1 is an affordable, entry-level phone, so we need to keep our expectations accordingly. This makes the Redmi A1 a direct competitor to the Samsung Galaxy A03 Core and other budget phones in terms of performance and user experience. The device is still utilising a micro-USB port at the bottom alongside a headphone jack and a speaker grille. On the outside, the Redmi A1 is designed to be as minimalistic as possible which isn’t surprising given how much it costs.

This phone includes a large HD+ display that supports both light and dark modes, a touch sampling rate of 120 Hz, and a display brightness of 400 nits.Among other things, the software has optimised versions of a few apps to make them easier for the smartphone to handle. At 400nits of brightness, outdoor usage is affected a bit in sunny conditions but indoors the screen is fine.
