Redmi A5 Launches in India: Big Display, Smooth Performance, and a Budget Price Tag
Xiaomi has just launched its latest budget-friendly smartphone, the Redmi A5, in India, and it's already turning heads for what it offers at such an affordable price. Starting at just ₹6,499, the Redmi A5 packs in features that are usually reserved for higher-end phones.
A Big, Smooth Display for Everyday Use
The highlight here is the large 6.88-inch HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate—something you don’t often see in this price range. Whether you're scrolling through social media or watching videos, the high refresh rate makes everything feel smoother and more responsive.
Solid Battery Life and Modern Design
Powering the device is a 5,200mAh battery, which should easily last a full day or more, even with heavy usage. It also supports 18W fast charging (though you'll get a 15W charger in the box). Design-wise, Xiaomi has gone for a premium look with a frosted glass finish and a sleek, lightweight build.
Performance That Covers the Basics
Under the hood, the phone runs on a Unisoc T7250 chipset and comes in two variants:
4GB RAM + 64GB storage at ₹6,499
6GB RAM + 128GB storage at ₹8,499
This setup is more than capable for daily tasks like messaging, browsing, streaming, and light gaming. And yes, it runs on the latest Android 15, so you get an updated user experience out of the box.
Camera and Extras
You get a 32MP rear camera for your everyday shots and an 8MP selfie camera. There’s also a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, dual SIM support, a USB-C port, and even a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Final Thoughts
For anyone looking for a reliable smartphone under ₹7,000, the Redmi A5 is a strong contender. With its large 120Hz screen, decent performance, and a battery that keeps going, it punches well above its weight. Whether you’re a student, first-time smartphone user, or just need a solid backup phone, this one’s definitely worth a look.
