Discover the new Xiaomi Redmi A5 with a 32MP AI dual camera, 120Hz 6.88-inch display, 5200mAh battery, and sleek design. Now available in the Philippines at an affordable price.
Xiaomi Corporation, a global leader in smart electronics and IoT-integrated devices, has officially introduced the Redmi A5, a smartphone designed to bring premium features to a wider audience without breaking the bank. The new Redmi A5 combines a stunning new design, a significantly upgraded camera system, a larger high-refresh-rate display, and a long-lasting battery—providing an all-around enhanced experience for budget-conscious users.
Visually, the Redmi A5 boasts a modern aesthetic with a flat-edge frame and a redesigned camera module accented by a metallic-feel surround. Available in four captivating color variants—Midnight Black, Sandy Gold, Lake Green, and Ocean Blue—the Redmi A5 offers something for every style. While Midnight Black and Sandy Gold deliver an elegant, matte finish that resists smudges, Lake Green and Ocean Blue reflect natural serenity with veined textures that resemble rippling water. Despite its sophisticated look, the device maintains a sleek and practical form factor, measuring just 8.26mm thick for a comfortable grip.
One of the standout features of the Redmi A5 is its immersive 6.88-inch display with up to a 120Hz refresh rate, designed for a smooth and responsive visual experience. Whether you're watching videos, browsing, or reading, this expansive screen provides a premium feel. Wet touch technology ensures accuracy even with damp fingers, while TÃœV Rheinland-certified eye protection and DC dimming minimize eye fatigue during prolonged use.
Camera performance has taken a huge leap forward with the Redmi A5. It features a 32MP AI-powered dual camera system that captures high-definition photos with impressive clarity. A new sensor allows 18% more light intake compared to the previous model, enhancing low-light and night photography with better brightness and detail. The front-facing 8MP camera delivers flattering selfies, made even better with a soft-light ring effect created by the screen's gentle glow—ideal for well-lit portraits in dim environments.
Under the hood, the Redmi A5 runs on the reliable UNISOC T7250 octa-core processor, offering smooth performance across applications. With memory extension capabilities, users can enjoy up to 8GB of RAM, ensuring efficient multitasking and fluid app transitions. Even with its impressive power, the phone maintains excellent battery longevity. The built-in 5200mAh battery can deliver over 20 hours of video playback and up to 9 hours of continuous gaming, making it a reliable daily companion for entertainment and productivity.
Security and convenience are also prioritized. The Redmi A5 includes both a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and face unlock for fast, secure access. Additionally, the beloved 3.5mm headphone jack remains, allowing users to enjoy wired audio without adapters.
In the Philippines, the Redmi A5 is offered in two storage configurations. The base model, featuring 3GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, is priced at PHP 3,599. The higher-end variant, with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, retails for just PHP 4,099. Official online sales begin May 20 through Xiaomi’s Shopee and Lazada stores, while in-store availability across authorized Mi Stores starts on May 23.
The Redmi A5 is positioned to redefine value in the budget smartphone segment, combining stylish design, solid performance, and premium features that make it an exceptional choice for everyday use.
