The Redmi has advertised A4 5G as the best and 5G-ready phone, but it has a one major flaw that it only works with standalone 5G network which offered by Jio in India. Airtel also offers 5G, but they use NSA technology and hence Airtel users can’t use 5G in this device and for them the product will be a waste.
However, if Airtel provides 5G using SA technology in your area, this device will support it and you can enjoy 5G speeds.
Jio users can buy this phone without any problem because Jio 5G network and relies solely on SA technology. Hence Redmi A4 5G is perfect for Jio users and they can experience pure 5G.
Apart from that, the phone is quite decent in this price range and whatever quality provided by Redmi in the A4 5G, it is acceptable and best for multi-media consumption. We can’t complain each and everything because after-all it is a budget phone. However if you are not happy with standalone 5G catch, and looking for a budget 5G phone that supports both SA and NSA 5G, you can look for Motorola g35 5G phone which also cost around Rs 9,999 only and works with Airtel and Jio 5G.
