Are you shopping on DHGate for the first time?

The process is in the DHgate mobile app. The Buy Now button takes you straight from the product page to checkout, and the coupon box is all the way at the very end of the page—which is why most people miss it and pay the full price.

1. Sign in and click Get the DiscountOn DHgate, create an account or log in—it also works via Google or Facebook. Then copy the coupon from our article and click the GET THE DISCOUNT button—it will open the exact product the code applies to.
2. On the product page, click Buy NowDHgate redirects you from the product straight to checkout Place Order, and the cart is skipped. So before you click, check the variant—color, memory, and version.
3. Fill in the address without diacritics and choose paymentAt the top of checkout, enter the delivery address—write your name, street, and city without accents and diacritics, otherwise the shipment may get stuck with the carrier. Then tap Select Payment Method. Also note the Ship from info—items shipped from the EU warehouse usually take days, and they don’t go through customs clearance.
4. Scroll all the way down to the Coupon code lineThe coupon box is at the very end of the page, below the offer Buy It Together. Look for the line Coupon code with the text Enter code here and tap it.

   

5. Paste the code and confirm ApplyA window will open Use Promo Code. Paste the copied code into it and tap the yellow Apply. Enter the code exactly, including uppercase letters and without spaces.

   

6. Check the discount and payYou’ll see the applied coupon in the Saved line — when you open it, it will show as DH Coupon. Only when Order Total really lower, tap Confirm to pay.

   

You only have about half an hour to pay. There’s a countdown on the Confirm to pay button — when it runs out, the order is canceled and you have to create it again. So enter the coupon before you start paying.

DHgate sometimes adds a discount automatically. The Saved line may already be filled in before you enter any code. After pressing Apply, compare the Order Total — if it didn’t go down, the code either wasn’t applied or it’s weaker than the discount DHgate gave you automatically.

Redmi A1: A cheap phone with clean Android

Xiaomi officially unveiled new smartphones for the Indian market. Among them is also an affordable new model labeled Redmi A1. It’s a basic device that takes some elements from mid-range smartphones and integrates clean Android in the style of the latest Android One device called Xiaomi Mi A3.

In any case, we can’t consider this device a powerful or even gaming smartphone. On the contrary—it offers a very simple and discreet design, affordable materials, and a great price-to-performance ratio, along with smooth software. The device dimensions are capped at 76,75 x 164,9 x 9,09 mm; then the weight comes to 192 grams.

As you can see in the official photos, the probably most interesting element is the processing of the device’s back panel. It offers a plastic back cover with a design that simulates leather materials. We’ve already seen this finish in cheaper devices from the daughter brand, for example POCO M3.

The smartphone goes on sale in three colors. Specifically, it comes in black, green, and blue. On this page, you can also find the rear camera module, which includes unspecified 8 MPx and 2 MPx sensors. This basic setup probably won’t deliver breathtaking photo results, but we also have to take into account production costs and the attractive low selling price.

6.52″ HD+ display, MediaTek processor, and only 10 W charging via microUSB

Naturally, the low price shows in the rather wide bezels around the display, which features a teardrop-shaped notch. It houses a 5 MPx front camera with basic photo quality. The display measures 6,52″, HD+ resolution (1600 x 720 pixels), uses IPS LCD technology, and offers brightness of 400 nits. These fairly basic specs are mainly suitable for a non-demanding user.

It’s not different when it comes to performance either. An integrated processor MediaTek Helio A22 handles that, paired with LPDDR4x RAM. Internal storage is 32 GB and you can expand it with a microSD memory card up to 512 GB (the slot supports 2 x nanoSIM + microSD). Other features include Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, A-GPS, or a 3.5 mm audio connector.

The main advantage of this device, called Redmi A1, is the unusual software—at least compared to other Xiaomi or Redmi devices. The operating system Android 12 is available in its simplest form, without the graphical overlay MIUI. Besides a fast and smooth operation, this can also mean reliable software updates. However, the number of them was not specified by the Xiaomi brand.

We can wrap up the specs with a 5000 mAh battery, which promises a fairly long battery life on a single charge, given the specifications. However, it disappoints by today’s standards with slow 10 W charging, as well as the outdated microUSB connector.

So if you want to save money, this smartphone could be an interesting choice, but you can’t have too high expectations from it. It may also be suitable as a second or backup smartphone for the household, or a device for kids and seniors.
