Hello everyone, welcome back to my channel. So today I'll be giving you an honest and detailed review of Redmi A5. This is one of Redmi's latest budget smartphones designed for users who want a big display, long battery, and a very smooth everyday performance without spending too much money. In this review, I will tell you what it does well, where it falls short, and whether the Redmi A5 is actually worth it. Talking about the design, it is very, very simple, but it is not flat and does not also feel lightweight. It does not really feel comfortable holding it because it is not flat. Can you see? Redmi A5 has a large 6.88-inch display, and whenever it is turned on, display on this phone appear bigger. I love watching movies on it and also reading. Redmi A5 resolution is not clear enough, and it is because it is HD+ not Full HD. So sometimes watching videos, it looks dull. Even pictures, they look dull, and the screen is clear but it is very, very dull. Display is dull. It is not suitable for heavy multitasking or high-end games. A gamer will not really enjoy playing game on this phone. I don't enjoy playing game on this one because once too much apps are open, it will start reloading, start lagging, and to reduce the efficiency of this phone, so to make it to be slow. As someone that prioritize camera quality in a phone, I would say that Redmi A5 camera performance is not convincing at all. Both the rear and front camera is not giving. Using it in, um, in a light place or not, the camera is not giving at all. It is very dull, not bright, not even professional. What I'm about to say now is the strength of Redmi A5, and that is the battery life and the charging. Because once it is fully charged, it can last more than a day. And the, um, the charging, it is, it is average, not fast. Average. And for, for someone that loves watching movies, I'm, I'm convinced that at least it will last me, um, for a day. Now these are the extra features Redmi A5 has. Number 1 is the Face ID unlock, and number 2 is the fingerprint unlock, which makes it very convenient for me to undo. I feel like it is, you know, it's giving me this updated version of Android, so I love that. It also comes with a neatly packed adapter and cord for charging. And I won't forget to talk about the speaker because the speaker of Redmi A5 is loud. It is loud. Even if it is call that I'm receiving, it is very, very audible. When I'm playing music, ah, it is very, very loud. So this is all about Redmi A5. See you in my next video. Bye-bye.
