Editor Rating
3.1/5

Xiaomi Redmi A1 has the distinction of being the cheapest smartphone on sale from the Chinese brand, whether you consider their general lineup or even the special budget Redmi sub-brand. This easily makes it one of the cheapest smartphones on the entire market, which still manages to secure a quad-core processor, a dual camera array, and a unique leather texture that covers the back panel. While you do have to make a lot of compromises to reach this price point, it still delivers a usable smartphone experience for anyone looking to get a spare second phone or maybe even the first smartphone for their children.
