Xiaomi Redmi 5A Antutu Benchmark Score

Xiaomi launched their latest budget smartphone in November 2017. The Xiaomi Redmi 5A is a low-budget phone with exceptional features. It is powered by the Qualcomm's Snapdragon 425 Processor and comes in 2 variants. One of the variants has 2 GB RAM with 16 GB Internal Storage while the other variant has 3 GB RAM and 32 GB Internal Memory. It supports Dual SIM and there is also a dedicated slot for Memory Card using which you can increase the Internal Storage to 128 Gigabytes.
The Display Resolution of Redmi 5A is 720x1280 pixels and the phone's weight is 137 grams. The phone has a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera while the megapixel count for the front-facing camera is 5. This phone has a 3,000 mAh Battery with a standby of 8 days.
The Snapdragon 425 Processor has 4 ARM Cortex A53 cores which are clocked at a frequency of 1.4 Gigahertz and it also has the Adreno 308 GPU.

Here's the Antutu Benchmark Score of Redmi 5A:

Redmi 5A Antutu Benchmark

On Antutu Benchmark Test, Redmi 5A has scored 31,568 points. On average it should score between 30-35k. It is a really decent score for a low budget smartphone. However, processors like Snapdragon 430 and 435 do a far better job in Benchmarks. Snapdragon 435 powered phones like the Xiaomi Redmi 4X will get Antutu Score of 45k points. If you want to test this on your android device, you can download the Antutu app from the Google Play Store. The link for the same is here

Redmi 5A Price 

2GB/16GB: Rs. 4,999 / CNY 599 / $90 USD

Redmi Note 5 Expected Launch Date, Price and Features


Xiaomi's Redmi Note Series is one of their most selling series that brings something special to the market every year. We have similar expectations for the upcoming Redmi Note 5 as well. In this article, we will discuss the expected launch date, price and the features/specifications of the new Redmi Note 5.
2 years back, Xiaomi launched their mid-range Redmi Note 3 which had an exceptionally powerful Snapdragon 650 processor, great battery, metal body, and fingerprint sensor. These great features made it one of the best selling mid-range device of 2015. Next year with the Redmi Note 4, Xiaomi improved the Rear Camera by introducing Sony's IMX 258 CMOS Sensor, Improved the Power Efficiency with the 14nm FinFET Architecture of Snapdragon 625 and improved the overall build quality and design. And once again, it became one of the best selling phones in countries like India.
But still, their a few flaws which Xiaomi might rectify this year with the Redmi Note 5. 
One of their highest priorities would be to improve the rear as well as the front camera. They are likely to introduce a Dual-Camera as per the initial renders. Also, this phone will feature a bezel-less display with an aspect ratio of 18:9. We expect the processor to be Snapdragon 630 or the new Snapdragon 636. You can find the specifications of all Qualcomm Snapdragon Processors on this page.

Redmi Note 5 Expected Features

  • Snapdragon 636 or Snapdragon 630 Processors
  • 5.99-inch Bezel Less Display 
  • 12MP Dual Camera
  • 4000/4100 mAh Battery
  • 18:9 Aspect Ratio with 1080x2160 Screen Resolution
  • 3/4 GB RAM
  • 32/64 GB Internal Storage
  • MIUI 9 on top of Android Nougat or Oreo 
Some leaks suggest that it may still have the older Snapdragon 625 but that's quite unlikely as Xiaomi always tries to give the best available processor in their Redmi Note Series. So, in my opinion, it is most likely to have the Snapdragon 636 or the Snapdragon 630 Processor. As discussed before, it will have a bezel-less display and it will be really interesting to see a full-screen phone in the budget segment. Xiaomi is unlikely to compromise on the battery life and so it will have 4000/4100 mAh Battery. Again for the first time in this series, Redmi Note 5 will have a Dual Camera and we hope its a combination of Telephoto + Wide Angle Lens for taking portrait shots. 
We also hope to see a better front-facing camera for selfie lovers. Another highlight of the display is the 18:9 aspect ratio. We expect the phone to launch in different variants with 3GB/4GB RAM and 32GB/64GB Internal Storage.

Redmi Note 5 Launch Date

Redmi Note 5 is expected to launch at the end of 2017 or early 2018. If we go by the previous trends, it will definitely launch at most by February 2018. Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 was launched in India in January 2017 and most likely, they will launch it in the same month in 2018. It is expected to launch globally during the same time.

Redmi Note 5 Expected Price

 The previous generation Redmi Note smartphones had a similar price and even though there are a lot more features in this one, I don't expect the price to be more than 10% higher than RN4.

Redmi Note 5 3GB/32GB: $185 or Rs.12000 or 1200 CNY
Redmi Note 5 4GB/64GB: $216 or Rs.14000 or 2400 CNY

The price is perfect, right? So, if this phone launches at this price with the same features mentioned, will you buy it? Give your opinion about this phone in the comment section below!
