The Redmi A1 boasts a 6.5-inch IPS LCD display with a HD+ resolution. The phone runs Android 12 Go Edition out of the box with stock Android UI on top. It also offers good battery life, thanks to a 5,000mAh battery equipped with it. Furthermore, this entry-level handset even has a 3.5mm audio jack. However, note that you will have to compromise on cameras and performance. If your priority is clean software and a longer battery life with a bigger display, then you can go for the Redmi A1.

7.6/10 04 May 2023

The Redmi 12C is an entry-level smartphone from Xiaomi which offers good performance and excellent battery life. The handset has a microSD card slot for storage expansion and up to 4GB of RAM. However, do note that the handset runs Android 12 OS, lacks 5G, and has a standard 60Hz refresh rate display. The device also doesn't supports fast charging. In conclusion, if you are primarily looking for a smartphone with good battery life and all the basic needs, then you can go for the Xiaomi Redmi 12C.
