Review: Simple & Good Value - I bought this phone for my mom/dad as a basic daily phone, and it's perfect for that. It’s not a flashy gaming phone, but it does everything you need really well. What I like: · Battery lasts very long – She only charges it every 2 days. · Screen is big and clear – Easy on the eyes for reading and videos. · Simple to use – Easy to set up, no complicated menus. · Looks nice – Feels solid, not cheap at all. · Very affordable! For normal tasks like WhatsApp, YouTube, Facebook, and calls, this phone is more than enough. It’s fast enough for everyday stuff. If you’re looking for a simple, reliable phone without spending a lot of money, the Redmi A5 is a great choice. No complaints here!
Review: Surprisingly Good - I ordered this phone to replace my husband's old handset as that is only configured for 3G so will be off network by the end of the year. I was looking for the most cost effective way to get him a phone that was suitable for calls, text messaging, streaming sporting events and for the couple of apps he uses. He mainly needs a phone to be a phone with a few extra benefits - such as a local area taxi app. The phone itself is incredibly lightweight, makes a big change from his old handset. The screen is large and is the full size of the front of the phone. Colour resolution seems to be pretty good with good contrasts. The camera is a basic but does the job. For us the camera quality is not particularly important - the only photos he tends to take are when he is out shopping and wants to send me an image of a product. Set up was so simple, I was absolutely amazed. I was transferring from one Android phone to another and I just needed to have them sat next to each other and turned on. The Redmi A5 even prompts you when to pop your micro-SD card in. Transferred all apps, messages and contacts on to the A5 from his Moto G7 (yes, you read that right a 2019 model and the only reason we are upgrading is that it only supports 3G - even the battery life is pretty darn good still) with no issues and everythign works as anticipated. The fingerprint scanner is just plain weird though. Instead of being on the screen it is sited on the on/off button mounted to the side of the phone. Seems to be hit and miss with it working and I think this is due to the location - you can use a PIN instead so that is what we have settled on. Torch is incredibly bright and easy to access by swiping down. Charging is via an included USB-C cable and seems to charge pretty quickly. Overall, considering the budget price of this phone it does everything we need (and likely more!)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finger reader not working reliably
*by P***N on 15 June 2025*

Decent cheap value for money android phone with great battery life the only negative is the sensitivity of the finger print reader or non sensitivity very annoying . Gave up in the end . Fails more often than it works meaning you have to input your lock screen code.
