First impressions

Since many budget phones do not compromise on earphones, the fact that the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A does not come with one is a turn off for me. However, its sleekness and lightweight is an upside. It is currently available on Gearbest at $96.99 a piece. We'll find out more in the full review.
