Design, Body Build, and Display

Xiaomi Redmi A2 measures 164.9 x 76.8 x 9.1mm and weighs 192g. The device’s body is made of plastic at the back, with a plastic body frame and glass front. The 6.52-inch display of the Redmi handset is made of IPS LCD with a 60Hz refresh rate and a 720 x 1600 pixels resolution (~ 269 ppi density). This is enough for using your new device for both work and play.

Performance and Battery

The handset features Octa-core (4×2.2 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4×1.7 GHz Cortex-A53) CPU, with a Mediatek Helio G36 (12 nm) chipset and PowerVR GE8320 GPU running on the Android 12 (Go edition), MIUI Operating System. The processor is powerful enough for multi-tasking and playing basic games. The 2GB/3GB RAM 32 GB internal memory space is sufficient to run basic applications, and some preferred downloaded applications. You can expand the space using the MicroSD option. A 5,000 mAh Li-Po non-removable battery powers the device—a 10W fast charger to speed up powering the battery.

Camera

Make use of the 5MP to capture selfies and video chats. It could have had better pixelation for best shots and videos, hence a chance you can get disappointed. You can only make average shots at the back using the dual set-up of 8 MP, f/2.0, (wide) + 0.08 MP (depth) cameras.

Verdict

Redmi A2 is an entry-level phone developed to handle essential functions. It is best suited for making calls, social media chatting and posting but does not handle heavy-duty work well.
