Redmi A5

Stylish Entry-Level Design & Display

The Redmi A5 brings a large 6.88-inch IPS LCD display with HD+ resolution (720 × 1,640 px) and a high 120 Hz refresh rate, making interface navigation, scrolling, and animations smoother than many typical budget phones. The screen has a color depth of 8-bit, a 70% NTSC color gamut, and typical brightness around 450 nits, which is decent for everyday indoor and moderate outdoor use. The build is slim (≈ 8.26-8.30 mm thick) and weighs about 193 g, with a reasonable screen-to-body ratio (~84%) to deliver a large display without being too cumbersome in hand.

Performance & Storage Options

Powered by a UNISOC T7250 processor built on a 12 nm process, the Redmi A5 features an octa-core CPU (2 × high-performance cores + 6 × efficiency cores) which handles daily tasks such as social media, video playback, messaging, and light multitasking. RAM comes in variants of 3 GB or 4 GB, with a memory extension/virtual RAM feature allowing some boost when storage space permits. Internal storage is offered at 64 GB or 128 GB, which can be expanded with a microSD card (dedicated slot) to hold more photos, media, and apps.

Camera System & Selfies

For photography, the Redmi A5 packs a 32 MP main rear camera (with LED flash), which delivers sharp pictures in good lighting. There’s also a secondary auxiliary rear lens to help with depth or basic photographic effect. On the front, an 8 MP selfie camera provides video calling, social media selfies, and supports 1080p video recording. Both rear and front camera performance is good for day-to-day use, though low-light performance is more limited.

Battery & Charging

Battery life is strong thanks to a 5,200 mAh battery, providing enough power for a full day of typical mixed usage (calls, messaging, social, video). Charging is via USB-C, supporting 15W wired fast charging. While charging at 15W is not ultra-fast, the large battery means fewer charging sessions are needed through the day.
