What to check on a used Redmi A5
A few quick checks separate a great buy from a costly mistake — spend a few minutes on these before you pay.
- ✓Battery health — ask for the exact percentage; a tired battery is the most common hidden cost on a used phone.
- ✓Condition varies here — 1 of the 17 Redmi A5 listings is graded fair or poor, so read the grade and the photos before you travel.
- ✓Cameras, fingerprint and charging — test every lens, the fingerprint or face unlock, and the charging port.
- ✓IMEI and PTA — these are all listed as PTA approved; still dial *#06# and confirm it yourself on the official PTA DIRBS portal or via 8484.
- ✓Accounts — make sure it is signed out of the previous owner’s Google account and factory reset.
Fair used Redmi A5 price guidance in Faisalabad
Across the 17 live listings on Mehfoz right now, a used Redmi A5 in Faisalabad runs about Rs 23,000 to Rs 28,000, with the typical asking price around Rs 26,000. Asking prices on this model sit close together, so condition, battery health and what is included decide which is the better buy. There is no single fixed price — it depends on storage, PTA status, battery health and overall condition. A PTA approved unit in clean condition with strong battery health sits at the top of the range, while non-PTA units, tired batteries or replaced parts sell for noticeably less. Compare several live listings on Mehfoz, factor in battery health and any PTA tax, and you will quickly see what a fair deal looks like for the exact spec you want.
PTA vs non-PTA Redmi A5
Every Redmi A5 listed in Faisalabad at the moment is PTA approved, so SIM service is not a question on any of them — but verify the IMEI yourself before you pay. A PTA approved Redmi A5 works on Jazz, Zong, Telenor and Ufone with no SIM block and is easier to resell. A non-PTA unit is cheaper up front but needs DIRBS tax to stay usable on your SIM beyond the grace period — verify the IMEI on the official PTA DIRBS portal and add any likely tax before deciding which is genuinely cheaper.
