Looking at GSMarena, got other brands.
Anyone got more ideas on which is a good one?

I've a friend using Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro.
Too big sized for me.
OPPO phones such as the OPPO A57 and OPPO A77 supports dual SIM(4G+3G) with dedicated micro SD slot.

Samsung phones such as Galaxy A5/A7 (2017), Galaxy J7 Pro, Galaxy J5 Prime/J7 Prime supports dual SIM(4G+3G) with dedicated micro SD slot.

Anyone knows where can I get normal clear/matte screen protector for Redmi Note 5A? All listings I see online are either for Prime version or tempered glass. TIA!

But I think their both versions have no difference in terms of design. So I believe u can use for both of them.

For a budget of around $170. Would u guys recommend the Redmi note 5a prime 3gb 32gb or Redmi 5 2gb 16gb?
How's does those 2 phones compared based on camera, battery life? If Redmi 5 has better camera and better life, is the lesser 1gb ram and 16gb storage worth it?

well if u are base on camera redmi 5
base on battery is redmi note 5A prime.

still not sure whats your usage on daily base scale. but i think redmi 5 might be okay with the battery.

as for the rams and storage is depends on u needed that much or not.

I thought Redmi 5 should by right have better battery life? Due to bigger battery capacity and more battery efficient cipset?

Well yes base on chip is slightly better and battery slightly higher. But redmi 5 also have bigger screen. Still everything base on your usage.

And ofc for the price it's definitely no trainer to get redmi 5 over note 5A prime.

Even when note 5a has 1gb ram and 16gb storage extra? Still more worth to buy redmi 5?
