It wouldn’t be far-fetched to say that Xiaomi has had a major influence on the entry-level smartphone market in India. A category which was previously glossed over in favour of affordable, midrange, and premium smartphones, has now had new life breathed into it ever since the arrival of Xiaomi. Xiaomi’s Redmi range of smartphones is known to offer incredible specs for the price along with striking design elements. The Redmi A1 is no different. Priced at just Rs 6,499, we had to see for ourselves what one of the most affordable smartphones in the market has to offer. Here is our Redmi A1 review.Read Also: iQoo Neo 7 powered by MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ SoC launched
Redmi A1 review: Design and Display
Inside the box, you get the smartphone, a 10W power adapter, a micro USB cable, a SIM ejector tool, and a Quick Start Guide. Taking it out of the box, this is not a compact smartphone by any means. With dimensions of 164.9 x 76.8 x 9.1 mm, the Redmi A1 matches even midrange smartphones in size. Holding the phone in your hand, it doesn’t feel like one of the cheapest ones on the market. Perhaps a sign of how far the entry-level category has come.The overall design has been dialled down and kept simple. The back panel is made out of plastic and has a textured finish which feels pretty nice while holding the phone in your palm. The dual cameras are housed in a small squarish unit at the top right part of the back panel along with a dual-LED flash. The Redmi A1 is available in three colours – light green, light blue, and black. We used the light green variant for this review and the rustic colour goes well with the minimal design of the smartphone. The micro USB port and the 3.5mm headphone jack are housed at the bottom of the phone. On the ride side, you’ll find the volume rocker along with the power key. The SIM tray finds its way to the left. The speaker grille is placed at the top of the phone. There is no fingerprint sensor on the device. Moving on, the Redmi A1 boasts a 6.52-inch IPS LCD display that has a resolution of 700 x 1600p. A lot of people who upgrade from a feature phone look for a big display, and Redmi A1 cuts no corners when it comes to that. Redmi could have easily provided a smaller display while slightly bumping up other specs, but they went for a 6.5-inch screen size.The display is quite satisfactory if you want to watch SD content on it. There is a ceiling that the display hits quite early and there’s not a lot more you can get out of it. We watched content on YouTube, Netflix, and Hotstar, and the results were on par for an entry-level smartphone. Nothing too special, but great for the price. The display also has a refresh rate of 60Hz and a peak brightness of 400 nits. The scrolling experience is decent but the haptic feedback has been dialled up quite a bit. You may have to spend some time customising the phone to sort that out.
Redmi A1 review: Performance and Cameras
The Redmi A1 is powered by the MediaTek MT6761 Helio A22 processor. This processor delivers a decent performance when it comes to basic tasks like browsing the internet, making video calls, using navigation, and more. The storage space offered is 32 GB along with an option of 2/3 GB RAM. We used the 32 GB + 2 GB model for this review. One of the things to note here is that the Redmi A1 runs on Android 12 GO, which is an OS specially designed by Google for low-end smartphones. You’ll barely find traces of MIUI on top of this OS. The UI is pretty clean and there are no bloatware apps on the phone apart from Facebook Lite. The smartphone is also equipped with a PowerVR GE8320 GPU, and we put it to the test by playing some light games like Candy Crush, Subway Surfers, and Clash Royale. After being pleased with the smartphone’s performance, we played Garena Free Fire Max on it. While there were some expected lags, the phone did well to provide a satisfactory gaming experience. You won’t get the smoothest controls or high-quality graphics on the Redmi A1, but that is to be expected from a smartphone at this price point. On the Geekbench Test, the smartphone returned a score of 140 points on the Single-core test and 501 points on the Multi-core test.Moving on, the Redmi A1 receives a 5,000 mAh battery pack, which on a phone with minimal hardware and a stripped-down OS lasts a long time. The smartphone easily lasted two days on moderate use which included taking pictures, watching almost two hours of content every day, texting on WhatsApp, browsing the web, and listening to music. More conservative use can easily push the battery backup to 3 days. The 10W charger can fully charge the smartphone in under 3 hours.When it comes to cameras, the Redmi A1 offers an 8MP primary shooter along with a depth sensor. You also get dual-LED flash housed in the rear camera unit and a 5MP selfie camera in the waterdrop notch on the display. The rear camera unit performs well in well-lit conditions but is certainly not up to the task in limited lighting. We won’t hold it against the Redmi A1, as no other entry-level smartphone can provide that feature. The pictures we took in natural daylight came out pretty well. The colours were vibrant, and the camera did a pretty good job of capturing the essential details. However, the pictures of subjects taken in direct sunlight came out a bit overexposed and we were not able to make out the sky in the background at all. The Redmi A1 can also record 1080p videos at 30fps from the rear as well as the front camera. You can also record time-lapse videos. There is also an option to record a ‘Short Video’, which is essentially there for shooting videos meant to be uploaded on TikTok or Instagram. The 5MP front camera captures decent selfies without adding any artificial effects on top, which is a good thing. Overall, we were quite pleased with the camera performance, given that it is an entry-level smartphone. Read Also: JioBook is now available for purchase via Reliance Digital’s website at Rs 15,799
Verdict
After a week of thorough use, the Redmi A1 held up quite well. We would strongly suggest it to buyers who are making the switch from a feature phone. Xiaomi has managed to squeeze in all the essential features buyers expect from an entry-level smartphone without compromising on performance. At Rs 6,499, the Redmi A1 could be the ideal buy.

There are tons of extensions that you can download from the Chrome Web Store. Unfortunately, Google Chrome does not offer extensions along with its Android browser. However, there are a few workarounds to this issue.

Use Chrome extensions on your Android mobile using Kiwi Browser
While you may not be able to use extensions on Google Chrome for Android, there are several Chromium-based browsers that offer that feature. A Chromium-based browser makes use of the open-source code for Chrome listed publicly by Google. This means that a Chromium browser will function like Chrome and may provide some additional features of its own. Kiwi Browser is one of the top-rated Chromium-based browsers for Android and lets its users use extensions on its platform. Here’s how you can use it.Step 1: Install the Kiwi Browser on your Android smartphone from the Google Play Store.Step 2: Open the browser, tap the ellipses (three dots) at the top right corner of the screen, and select Extensions.Step 3: Make sure the toggle bar for ‘Developer Mode’ is turned on. Tap on ‘+ (from store)’. You will be redirected to the Chrome Web Store. You can also type and enter https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions to go to the Chrome Web Store Directly. Step 4: Once you’re at the Chrome Web Store, search for the Extension you want to use. Enter the name of the Extension in the search box at the top right part of the window.Step 5: Tap on the Extension you want and select ‘Add to Chrome’. You will be asked to confirm your choice. Tap OK.Your extension will be installed and can be managed from the Extensions tab in the menu.
Get Chrome Extensions on your Android mobile using Yandex Browser
Yandex is another popular Chromium-based Android browser that allows you to use Chrome Extensions. The process to use extensions on Yandex is similar to Kiwi’s. The only difference is that Yandex does not have a dedicated Extensions tab in its menu like Kiwi. So, to download an extension you will need to type https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions in the address bar. Everything else is similar to the process mentioned above.

While Instagram is one of the most used social media platforms in the world, its messenger isn’t as highly rated as that of Facebook and other platforms. In order to get more people to use Instagram Messenger as the primary mode of communication, the social media platform has made several changes to its IM service. This includes incorporating Vanish Mode from Facebook Messenger. In this article, we explain what Vanish Mode on Instagram is, how you can use it, and when you should use it.Read Also: Top 10 wireless headphones and TWS with the longest battery life
What is Vanish Mode on Instagram?
First rolled out for Facebook Messenger in 2020, Vanish Mode was later incorporated into Instagram Messenger as well. To put it simply, Vanish Mode is similar to Snapchat’s ephemeral messaging where the messages self-destruct after the chat has ended. Any message you send once Vanish Mode has been turned on will disappear as soon as it is read by the receiver.Once Vanish Mode has been turned on, Instagram notifies both parties whenever either one of them takes a screenshot of the conversation. Another thing you need to know is that Vanish Mode cannot be used retroactively. Any messages you send before turning on Vanish Mode will stay in the chat unless you ‘unsend’ them. If the receiver takes a screenshot of those messages, you will not be notified.
How to use Vanish Mode?
Before you start using Vanish Mode, you need to make sure your Instagram Messenger is updated. If it isn’t updated, Instagram will prompt you to update Messenger as soon as you try turning on Vanish Mode. Vanish Mode cannot be used in group texts. On top of that, both parties must follow each other to make use of Vanish Mode. Here’s how you can enable it.Step 1: Open the Instagram app and swipe right to the DM window.Step 2: Open the conversation in which you want to use Vanish Mode.Step 3: Scroll down to the very bottom of the conversation and swipe up.Step 4: Drag and hold the screen until it says ‘Release to turn on vanish mode’. Step 5: Release the screen to activate Vanish Mode. Once Vanish Mode is activated, the chat window will turn dark. If it doesn’t turn dark, it means that Vanish Mode failed to activate and you need to try again.Swipe up and release again to disable Vanish Mode.
When should you use Vanish Mode?
Since most people like to keep a record of their conversations, using Vanish Mode at all times is certainly not ideal. However, it is a very useful feature for securing private conversations and making sure no one else can view them apart from the receiver. The message notifications you receive from chats that are in Vanish Mode do not contain the contents of the text. This comes in handy when you’re in public and do not want people around you to view any message that pops up on the screen.Since you get notified any time someone takes a screenshot, the chances of your conversations getting ‘leaked’ are reduced as well. If you are sharing some sensitive information that you do not want anyone else other than the receiver to access, make sure you turn on Vanish Mode first.Read Also: Motorola Edge 30 Ultra 12GB variant is now available in India
Conclusion
Vanish Mode doesn’t just apply to texts. Any media, emojis, emojis, or voice notes you send in Vanish Mode get deleted as soon as they are viewed. A lot of people can take undue advantage of this feature, so make sure you report any inappropriate messages to Instagram. You can also unfollow or block them to keep them from using the Vanish Mode.
