Xiaomi Introduces Redmi A5
Xiaomi Corporation ("Xiaomi" or the "Group"; stock code:1810), a consumer electronics and smart manufacturing company with smartphones and smart hardware connected by an Internet of Things ("IoT") platform at its core, has unveiled Redmi A5, seamlessly blending an extensive array of generous upgrades that make advanced smartphone features accessible to a broader audience. With a refreshed design, a significantly improved camera, and a larger display, Redmi A5 transforms the essentials into an experience that feels effortlessly refined, crafted for those who value both practicality and aesthetics in their everyday smartphone.
Redmi A5 introduces a sleek new design, elevating its visual appeal with a stylish flat frame and an enhanced camera deco with an all-new metallic-feel surround. This smartphone comes in sophisticated color options, each evoking a distinct sense of character. Midnight Black¹ and Sandy Gold¹ feature a matte, smudge-resistant finish that offers a timeless, understated elegance. Lake Green¹ and Ocean Blue¹ take inspiration from nature, their veined patterns reminiscent of ripples on a tranquil body of water. With its slim 8.26mm body², Redmi A5 balances modern elegance with a comfortable grip.
Despite its slim profile, Redmi A5 expands possibilities with an up to 120Hz large 6.88-inch display,³ offering a truly immersive experience whether watching videos, browsing, or reading. Even when hands are damp, wet touch technology helps to maintain responsiveness, further improving usability. Meanwhile, for those longer sessions, TÜV Rheinland-certified eye protection and DC dimming help to minimize strain, making extended screen time easier on the eyes.
Complementing the display, Redmi A5 introduces a substantial leap in camera capabilities through its powerful 32MP AI dual camera, allowing users to capture moments with remarkable clarity. With a larger sensor that takes in 18% more light⁴ than the previous generation, night photography stands out with improved detail, delivering brighter, clearer shots in low-light settings. The camera keeps photos crisp and vivid even when confronted with challenging backlit settings. Turning to the front, the upgraded 8MP selfie camera delivers natural-looking portraits with fresh detail. At the same time, the soft-light ring, achieved from the display's illumination, allows users to take well-lit selfies even in dim environments. Thanks to these thoughtful innovations, Redmi A5 makes capturing and preserving memories effortless, whether a scenic view or a fleeting moment.
Building on its impressive camera upgrades, Redmi A5 has been designed to seamlessly fit into your fast-paced lifestyle, offering features for reliability and convenience at every turn. Powered by the octa-core UNISOC T7250 processor and supported by up to 8GB of RAM⁵ through memory extension, Redmi A5 easily handles multitasking, providing smooth app performance even during demanding tasks. Yet with its powerful performance, Redmi A5 doesn't compromise battery life. Equipped with a 5200mAh battery⁶, it supports over 20 hours of video playback⁷ and over 9 hours of gaming⁷ on a single charge, keeping you going throughout the day.
For further added convenience, Redmi A5 also offers secure access through a side fingerprint sensor and face unlock. Plus, with the 3.5mm headphone jack, users can continue enjoying high-quality wired audio.
Redmi A5 is available in Midnight Black¹, Sandy Gold¹, Lake Green¹ and Ocean Blue¹, in 3GB+64GB and 4GB+128GB memory and storage configurations⁸, and will be available starting from 79 USD. Pricing varies by region.
