Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Prime Specs, Release Date: Device Headed to U.S. Per New Leak, More on the Way?
It looks like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Prime is almost ready to hit the United States.
The device recently popped by the country's certification board Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which hints the official arrival of the company to the region.
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Prime was released in China and select markets last month, but it looks like it could be the first phone that Xiaomi will officially bring to the United States.
As GSM Arena points out, the only way to be able to get a Xiaomi device to the United States. is importing it. However, the company could be working on expanding to the region.
Of course, the appearance of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Prime on FCC does not guarantee that the Chinese tech firm will start bringing its offerings to the country, but it does signal a start of an effort.
Should Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Prime end up doing well in the United States, it would not be a surprise if the company brings more of its devices over.
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Prime is part of its lower-end lineup. It comes with a 5.5-inch high-definition (HD) IPS display powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 processor.
This is bolstered by 3 to 4 GB of random-access memory (RAM) and 32 to 64 GB of expandable storage and an Adreno 505 for the graphics processing needs.
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Prime also features a 13 MP camera on the back — in which a fingerprint sensor is also located — and a beefier 16 MP snapper on the front for selfies.
A non-removable 3,080 mAh battery keeps the lights on while the Android 7.0 Nougat operating system runs the show.
If the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Prime is indeed headed to the United States, it should be made official sooner rather than later.
