It can be considered The Chinese firm’s return to mobiles with pure Androidbut you should also keep in mind that it is a fairly cheap terminal starting at 99.99 Euros in its version with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, so it may not be the best measuring stick in terms of level performance and benefits. this system.

The return of pure Android is marred by micro USB and top-secret features

We told you about this during its presentation in India a few weeks ago, and taking a look at its design, the new Redmi A1 looks like a flashback to the past. We say this first of all because it integrates a Micro USB connection, which is not suitable for these times, and also because it is aesthetically pleasing. tear notched front that looks like it’s been left behindbut what you have is such a cheap cell phone.

Of course, in its favor, it must be said that the rear design looks quite attractive to us. Although it is plastic, it shows a skin-imitating surface and a very well-resolved camera moduleWith a main sensor of 8 MP and a depth sensor with a resolution of QVGA, which can only be considered anecdotal and aesthetic, since it will not serve much.

In addition, the internal features are not to stand out too much, which was expected in such a cheap mobile. For example, we have a 6.52-inch IPS display and HD+ resolution, of course no fast refresh rates or extraordinary brightness peaksIt aims to be pretty stealthy at the results level by finding the 5 MP front camera with f/2.2 aperture at the top.

On the other hand, we have a MediaTek Helio A22 processor with 2GB and 3GB versions of LPDDR4X RAM and Up to 32GB of storage expandable up to 1TB via micro SDWhile this memory’s technology remains in eMMC 5.1, speed isn’t exactly going to be its strong point. Of course, the point that should not be overlooked is the battery, which reaches 5,000 mAh with “fast charging” remaining at 10W.

And finally we need to mention the star of this device: Android 12Go Edition. This software stands out for having a pure Android aesthetic that will allow the team to perform quite well in the product segment at hand, while keeping it minimal at the same time. two years of security updateswhich is greatly appreciated.
