Manila, PHILIPPINES, May 17, 2025 – Xiaomi Corporation (“Xiaomi” or the “Group”; stock
code:1810), a consumer electronics and smart manufacturing company with smartphones
and smart hardware connected by an Internet of Things (“IoT”) platform at its core, has
unveiled Redmi A5, seamlessly blending an extensive array of generous upgrades that make
advanced smartphone features accessible to a broader audience. With a refreshed design, a
significantly improved camera, and a larger display, Redmi A5 transforms the essentials into
an experience that feels effortlessly refined, crafted for those who value both practicality and
aesthetics in their everyday smartphone.
Design and Display
Redmi A5 introduces a sleek new design, elevating its visual appeal with a stylish flat frame
and an enhanced camera deco with an all-new metallic-feel surround. This smartphone
comes in sophisticated color options, each evoking a distinct sense of character. Midnight
Black¹ and Sandy Gold¹ feature a matte, smudge-resistant finish that offers a timeless,
understated elegance. Lake Green¹ and Ocean Blue¹ take inspiration from nature, their
veined patterns reminiscent of ripples on a tranquil body of water. With its slim 8.26mm
body², Redmi A5 balances modern elegance with a comfortable grip.
Despite its slim profile, Redmi A5 expands possibilities with an up to 120Hz large 6.88-inch
display,³ offering a truly immersive experience whether watching videos, browsing, or
reading. Even when hands are damp, wet touch technology helps to maintain
responsiveness, further improving usability. Meanwhile, for those longer sessions, TÜV
Rheinland-certified eye protection and DC dimming help to minimize strain, making
extended screen time easier on the eyes.
Camera and Performance Upgrades
Complementing the display, Redmi A5 introduces a substantial leap in camera capabilities
through its powerful 32MP AI dual camera, allowing users to capture moments with
remarkable clarity. With a larger sensor that takes in 18% more light⁴ than the previous
generation, night photography stands out with improved detail, delivering brighter, clearer
shots in low-light settings. The camera keeps photos crisp and vivid even when confronted
with challenging backlit settings. Turning to the front, the upgraded 8MP selfie camera
delivers natural-looking portraits with fresh detail. At the same time, the soft-light ring,
achieved from the display’s illumination, allows users to take well-lit selfies even in dim
environments. Thanks to these thoughtful innovations, Redmi A5 makes capturing and
preserving memories effortless, whether a scenic view or a fleeting moment.
Building on its impressive camera upgrades, Redmi A5 has been designed to seamlessly fit
into your fast-paced lifestyle, offering features for reliability and convenience at every turn.
Powered by the octa-core UNISOC T7250 processor and supported by up to 8GB of RAM⁵
through memory extension, Redmi A5 easily handles multitasking, providing smooth app
performance even during demanding tasks. Yet with its powerful performance, Redmi A5
doesn’t compromise battery life. Equipped with a 5200mAh battery⁶, it supports over 20
hours of video playback⁷ and over 9 hours of gaming⁷ on a single charge, keeping you going
throughout the day.
For further added convenience, Redmi A5 also offers secure access through a side fingerprint
sensor and face unlock. Plus, with the 3.5mm headphone jack, users can continue enjoying
high-quality wired audio.

Redmi A5 arrives in the Philippines in four colors—Midnight Black¹, Sandy Gold¹, Lake Green¹,
and Ocean Blue¹—offered in two variants: one with 3GB of RAM and 64GB of storage at only
