Description of the Xiaomi Redmi A5 
The Xiaomi Redmi A5Gold is a fine choice if you are looking for an affordable smartphone that does what you expect. You'll have plenty of room for your apps, photos and music. The 32MP AI dual camera ensures you take great photos in a variety of situations. You also get a large 6.88-inch screen, a hefty 5,200mAh battery and handy unlocking options like facial recognition and a fingerprint scanner.
 
Screen
At 6.88 inches, the Xiaomi Redmi A5's screen is nice and spacious. Whether you're watching videos, reading messages or scrolling through social media, the image is clear and pleasing to your eyes. The resolution (1640x720 pixels) offers enough sharpness for everyday use. Thanks to the 120Hz refresh rate, the screen responds smoothly for standard tasks. Also nice: the screen has a brightness of up to 450 nits, so even in brighter light, you can still easily see what's happening on your screen.
 
Camera
For a device in this price range, the camera performs remarkably well. The 32MP main camera takes sharp photos with natural colours. Thanks to AI support, the camera automatically adjusts settings so you get great results without fuss. On the front is an 8MP selfie camera. With this, you can easily take a selfie, or use it during a video call. You can also just film in full HD at 30 frames per second.
 
The 5,200mAh battery is one of the stronger points of the Xiaomi Redmi A5. This will get you through the day with ease, even if you're on your phone regularly. Whether you make a lot of calls, watch videos or stream music: this battery holds up well. Recharge via the USB-C port with a charger up to 15W.
 
Unlock
This Redmi A5 offers two ways to unlock your device. You can opt for facial recognition, handy if you want to open your phone quickly without tapping. Or use the fingerprint scanner on the side, which works reliably and quickly. Both methods ensure that only you have access to your device.
 
3.5mm audio headphone jack
Still like to use wired headphones? Then the Xiaomi Redmi A5 is right for you. That's because this smartphone still has a 3.5mm audio-headphone jack, something you don't find on all devices anymore. So you plug in your earphones or headset directly without any problems. That way, you don't have to use adapters or bluetooth if you don't want to.
