This is the perfect phone for mom/dad who are still stuck using a flip phone or an old Nokia, etc. For them it will be a huge upgrade and for those who choose to buy them one, it will not break the bank! Great review!
Parents struggling to look for very affordable phones should know this. They must've buy this phone for their children for emergency use since it is very affordable imo. Not bad for the price either.
Redskull Xiaomi seems to be a kind of giving justifiable price for each devices' segment. Nice review btw sir!

Mediatek Helio A22 in not power efficient, RedSkull is this some joke or what???Do you realise, that Helio A22 is 12nm SoC vs Redmi 5A who uses Snapdragon 425 built on to old 28nm(first introduced in 2011) manufacturing process.Helio A22 CPU is 30% faster or GPU is 60% faster, then Snapdragon 425 SoC in Redmi 5A.Redmi 6A have bigger screen+higher resolution, this is main reason that batery life isnt beeter that old Redmi 5A model.For the end, new Mediatek Helio A22 has 50% lower power consumption(Xiaomi tests), vs old Snapdragon 28nm/425 SoC. www.anandtech.com/show/13086/mediatek-launches-helio-a-series-socs-starting-with-helio-a22

This is the first time I have seen a review of more than a wonderful English language and better than my mother tongue .Send Greetings to you from Egypt
"unoptimized" - what do you mean? It is regular Android with really fast leeco launcher. I still have x600 and x650 and both work as fast as new from the box.
That's an interesting device man, I'm not sure where that one fits in. Seems like we've seen devices around that price range, or lower, with a bit more / better features. Great job on the video as always!
*awesome video* I am planning to buy this for my father!! Should i go ahead? Also how is the vibration intensity of the phone? Last phone i ordered didn't vibrate strongly and most of his calls are missed!
Here in the UK this is literally the best phone for under £100 you can buy as options here are limited it's either this a moto e play or an ancient iPhone 5s lol 😂 it's embarrassing that thr iPhone 6s is still selling refurbished at Argos for £200 totally outrageous rip off by Apple
hi i think you remember me, im xomentus but anyways im deciding which phone should i get for my birthday and its either sony xperia x compact or the blackberry priv! please give me advice since you own so many phones and i dont :D
Woahhh😍 great review👍 Here in our country the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x is much cheaper than Xiaomi Redmi 6A and Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x is better than 6A. pls do a review also of Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x. Thanks😊
Redskull Well that sucks, the OS must be too big. I don't get why google play store and play services weren't pre-installed. Is the Google app not installed as well? and is google assistant available on the device?
I think even the Redmi 5A with the quad core snapdragon 425 performs better than that, when it comes to lags in daily operations.. Disappointing, Mediatek!
Let me describe the single most frustrating thing about this device. 9GB of storage after OS is FUCKING NOT ENOUGH. And the expandable SD storage for some reason cannot be used for app data which means you CONSTANTLY cannot even install apps without clearing your cache, deleting other apps, flushing system storage, and trying again. If you're going to make an android phone with that little storage, at least make the SD card viable for app data. This phone would be perfectly fine, good even, if i wasn't constantly reminded every 5 goddamn minutes that it is running out of storage despite having a 128 gb SD card inside. Storage management has become a constant chore, and i wish i could just turn the reminders for it off. Additionally, i'd like to note that the performance of this phone is not enough to record video with the DJI go app, it flat out crashes on me. It can take pictures and receive signal just fine, so i don't know why recording would be such an issue. For every other purpose it seems sufficient, though i have noticed it stalling and apps crashing from time to time. Then again i don't see why everyone needs a phone to be "snappy" nowadays... it gets there a bit slower than other phones, but what matters is it gets there. Personally if i could go back i would spend a little more spring for just one step above on the Xiaomi ecosystem... 32 gb and a little higher performance, maybe an internal gyro. Seriously, it seems like the storage issues are more of a software issue anyway and xiaomi should definitely fix this because its the single most downright unusable aspect of this phone. If they fixed it this would be an insanely better value.
There is now a 3gb 32gb variant for just over $100 USD.. I am starting to Detest the 18:9 ratio. If you zoom in, you actually see less! Text gets cut off. It's worthless in landscape.
That is absolutely not true. As long as regular fb is installed on the internal storage it works fine even with 1 GB of ram. Works fine on SD card too if it's fast. Facebook lite however is a buggy mess atleast from my experience.
bang for buck i dare to say this phone is better than some 2-3x more expencive phones.Why i say this?From 90$ u dont expect much. From 200$ range expetations are much higher-alot of devices do not deliver... It is good to see that they cover all market-but not with crappy devices like some more famous brands
5a is better in terms of battery and heating, it has 1.5x - 2x battery backup, 6a might be better in terms of gaming but i would rather buy redmi 5 over these 2 phones for 20-30$ more, it has 2x performance
wait a minute .. he says its does pretty good for gaming but not for facebook twitter instagram.... why would it not do good for those sites they really don't have much requirements .. heh
This is my main phone fuck it i am not gamer but 1-2 games is nothing for this phonr camera good battery great i need phone for insta facebook and youtube that is all it handles everything.

Recently there are a few much better Leeco phones available at
cbm80amiga The unoptimized system is not worth it.
"unoptimized" - what do you mean? It is regular Android with really fast leeco launcher. I still have x600 and x650 and both work as fast as new from the box.
There are a lot of good phones around $100. Personally I am not a fan of the Leeco UI, but not everyone is me :)
eUI sucks tbh.. Using LeEco S3 x626 and somehow one day it bootlooped but managed to fix it
no sdcard support kill leeco for me
I live in Poland and distributor told me that 6A has electronic stabilisation and radio fm. Strange
what happen with your radio band ?
No complaint about this budget phone but the gaming performance is awesome..Nice Review Alex..Good job..👍👍
for the price it is pretty good indeed! Thanks for watching!
Does Face Unlock work for you? I've read that it only works in India, which would be weird. Did you install MIUI 10?
I just hope Xiaomi place the I/O on their next budget smartphone like the Redmi Note 5 Pro.
That's an interesting device man, I'm not sure where that one fits in.
Seems like we've seen devices around that price range, or lower, with a bit more / better features.
Great job on the video as always!
Xiaomi just makes way too many phones... they should stick to just a few models
*awesome video*
I am planning to buy this for my father!! Should i go ahead?
Also how is the vibration intensity of the phone? Last phone i ordered didn't vibrate strongly and most of his calls are missed!
Alex I need a good budget phone what is your recommendation I really do enjoy your videos very detailed
Depends where you are located. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 is the best budget phone at the time
hey i like this new music sounds cool, groovy and smooth!!
great review Alex!!
Thank you very much
Very good sir, you got fastest review on this phone too. For price under 100usd this phone already an overkill.
Thanks for watching!
Nice review boss Alex. I think this is the best budget phone under $100 category. For now
for another few days till another phone comes out!
Merci beaucoup! You’re one of the best reviewers on youtube.

hi, thank you!
If Xioami had offered 3 gb ram, it would be a best budget phone
there is a version with 3GB RAM. I think it's $20 more

How much storage was left after installing google play store and google play services/framework?
About 9GB
Redskull Well that sucks, the OS must be too big. I don't get why google play store and play services weren't pre-installed. Is the Google app not installed as well? and is google assistant available on the device?
battery: how many hours in 3G internet mode ??
So Umi Digi A1 Pro for $99 is better deal than this, right?
I would get this over the UMIDIGI
I think even the Redmi 5A with the quad core snapdragon 425 performs better than that, when it comes to lags in daily operations.. Disappointing, Mediatek!
it is what it is :)
My brother has the Redmond note 5a prime and it performs so well,it never lags
Hey Redskull! For your opinion, what is the best phone in that price?=))
I think you should spend a little more and get the Redmi 5 instead
Redskull redmi 5 2GB ram only 70-80

Yes. I have the p8 huawei now but I wish I could get a better phone. This phone is great but just seems a bit cheap but loking at the price

How do you access the band mode?
It can only be done on phones using a mediatek CPU. Install the MTK engineering app from the Google Play store

Redmi 6a Offline Market Me Milega Ki Nhi Bhai
Looking into this phone from my lumia 435 it bricked on me
Im looking at this or the Meizu m6
i think the M6 is better
Xiami is literally throwing out phones
almost :)
The main shortcoming of this phone is the hybrid slot at least Xiaomi put 2sims plus SD card, for me a failing phone
me personally... I rarely use a SD card in a phone
Redmi 5 is better 🤔 , awesome review 🔥
thanks for stopping by! The redmi 5 is better indeed!
How long does it take the charging?
That information is in the review
When it is launching in INDIA.... please comment
I think you will be getting this phone as the Mi A2 lite...same phone but different OS

Please answer my question.
Perfect 👌 English dude .

5A Vs 6A ? Which one better ?
5A

No IR blaster either?
no
Xiaomi only with SnapDragon (USA Technology)
Some Mediatek CPUs aren't that bad
sorry, is compass included here?
no
wait a minute .. he says its does pretty good for gaming but not for facebook twitter instagram.... why would it not do good for those sites they really don't have much requirements .. heh
software optimization... the way apps are built...etc
Can you get a phone case for it
Only if you order one from China
Sorry but whenever I read Mediatek my interest for that phone become instantly non-existent.
I'm sure Xiaomi will have another 3 phones out in no time :)
Is the global version? ❤Brazil
This is the Chinese version
This is my main phone fuck it i am not gamer but 1-2 games is nothing for this phonr camera good battery great i need phone for insta facebook and youtube that is all it handles everything.
thanks !
Thanks for watching!
redmi 6a or redmi 5a? please answer
hmmm.... I would probably go for the 6A because of the screen ratio
thanks for replying it helps a lot
did you have to pay import tax on the phone
not on this particular one
Redskull which site did you get it from and which country do you live in
Gearbest and I am located in Canada.
Redskull ah okay. I'm either getting this or the 5a. not too sure tho
dont mind me but that the russia accsent are very good and very clean
I got it for only $54 lol.
OMG Just 5 Hours Of Screen On Time 😨😨
I thought it will be better then Redmi 5 Or Same Because Of 12nm SOC
Or Xiaomi Is Lying About The Chip 😂
keep in mind that I payed quite a few games ...so that may be a factor
Redskull hmmn
But still not as good as I expected
Here in india this device will come with Snapdragon 429 So That Will Be Much Better
What u think?
Redmi 6?
Hopefully soon
5 or 6A?
6A
Alex has lost weight.
