Redmi A5 Overview
Design and Display
Redmi A5 comes in a sleek and elegant design. The phone has rounded corners to give you a better grip, while the back panel is very minimalistic. It’s not something new and innovative, but it’s effective and appealing. The highlight, though, shall be the shiny edge of the camera module, which houses a dual-camera setup. The phone is also light at just 193 grams. Xiaomi and Redmi phones are known for their overall sound specs, and Redmi A5 carries that tradition right from its looks.
Coming to the screen side, the phone boasts a massive 6.88-inch IPS LCD display, which is one of its key selling points. Likewise, the screen features a 120 Hz refresh rate, while the brightness can reach up to 450 nits (typ). It’s a flicker-free screen powered by TUV Rheinland support. Another display highlight is its screen-to-body ratio of 90%, which ensures maximum screen space on the phone. Also, a 1640×720 keeps the screen decently sharp while also contributing to better battery life.
Camera and Photography
Redmi A5 comes with a 32 MP primary camera on the back, supported by an auxiliary lens. The main optics can shoot videos at 1080p at 30 fps. The front camera consists of an 8 MP sensor with a similar video recording capacity. The cameras come with features such as HDR mode, Ultra HD, and Night Mode for versatile and creative photography. It’s not a setup you find on flagship phones, however, they are pretty decent on their own.
Performance and Storage
The budget phone is powered by a Unisoc T7250 processor, which is fabricated on a 12 nm building process. It features eight cores with up to 1.8 GHz clock speed. It should play basic to moderate Android games, but running apps should be a breeze. The phone boots on Android 15 (Go Edition) and is likely to get up to two major Android upgrades.
The phone originally comes with 3 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage or 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. The memory can be extended virtually to up to 8 GB, double its native capacity.

Battery and Charging
Another highlight of the phone is its 5200mAh battery, which gives more than enough juice for a day at least. Given that the phone only has an HD+ camera means it gets even better with battery optimization. The phone supports a 15W fast charger, but the power adapter might be sold separately. Let’s wait on that till the phone launches officially in Nepal.
Connectivity and Other Features
The phone supports 4G LTE network and WiFi 5G. For 4G, it supports band 20 as well, so it should be very good with signal reception across the country. It has a USB Type-C for charging and file transfers. Among other features, the phone comes with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and also supports AI face unlock. It also allows storage expansion with a microSD card.
