Xiaomi has officially announced the Redmi A5 launch in Pakistan, bringing a new budget smartphone that impresses with its sleek design and reliable battery endurance. While positioned as an entry-level device, the Redmi A5 makes a strong case for itself with its premium aesthetics—particularly the standout Sandy Gold variant—and feature set tailored for everyday users.
The Redmi A5 launch in Pakistan caters to consumers looking for a stylish yet functional device without breaking the bank. It features a large 6.88-inch IPS panel with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and a classic waterdrop notch design. Despite its 720p resolution, the display promises responsive interaction and fluid animations.
Under the hood, the phone runs Android 15 Go Edition with Xiaomi’s Hyper OS, optimized for minimal hardware. Powered by the 12nm Unisoc T7250 chipset clocked at 1.8GHz, the Redmi A5 is well-equipped for daily tasks and light usage. It comes in two configurations—4GB RAM with either 64GB or 128GB of internal storage—making it both flexible and affordable.
One of the highlights of the Redmi A5 is its 5,200mAh battery, which is built to handle a full day of moderate use with ease. Xiaomi claims that the battery is rated for up to 1,000 charge cycles, which translates into better long-term health and performance. However, with only 15W charging support, full recharges may take around two hours.
The Redmi A5 also introduces an improved 8MP front-facing camera, a notable upgrade over its predecessor, while the rear camera is capped at 32MP. For added convenience, the device includes a side-mounted fingerprint scanner for secure unlocking.
Xiaomi promises two years of OS support, pushing the Redmi A5 to Android 17, along with up to 36 months of “Like-New” software responsiveness. This level of support is uncommon in budget phones and enhances the device’s value proposition.
Priced at Rs22,999 for the 4GB/64GB variant and Rs26,999 for the 4GB/128GB version, the Redmi A5 offers an ideal balance of design, battery life, and smooth performance, making it a standout choice in the entry-level segment.
