        I have been using the phone for almost two months now and my here are thoughts.

        Pros:

        - Great build quality
        - Superb audio
        - Screen is pretty good
        - Considering the price point, the performance is excellent

        Cons:

        - Battery life is pretty bad under load. The battery drains particularly fast if the Mobile HotSpot is activated

        - Main Camera is passable, but not very good. Selfie camera is just fine

        I still think this device is just great value for money. You get a very solid phone for the price and there is no doubt here. That said, if you are a power user and do not wish to make any compromises, I would recommend you to increase your budget a bit and go for some of the pricier Xiaomi devices, which come with SD 6xx chipsets and 3GB+ RAM. These have better battery life, performance and camera.

        If your budget is tight - do not hesitate and grab the 5A, you will not regret it one bit.

          Just bought one to hold me over until my Sony Xperia Z5 Dual Premium is fixed or I buy a new one. So far, so good. Very low on memory, about 10 GB of 16 is used by phone. Too many junk apps that cannot be removed.

          Photos/videos not very good quality. Will eventually root this phone and leave as a spare for visitors etc. Can't wait to get my Z5 back!

              redmi 5a battery drain faster than redmi 4x, about 2% faster.

              from 100%; if redmi 4x battery drain to 94%, redmi 5a battery will drain to 92% or more at the same time.

              i have both phones.

                what,s the IP rating for this phone
                ( ip- dust and water protection)

                  I just bought the phone almost a week ago. For a regular use (mostly for SMS, calling and light data use) it lasted 1.5 - 2 days. Heavy usage ( Streaming and online/offline gaming ) it consumed 40% of battery in 2-3 hours.
