Reviews for the Lenovo A5

Lenovo A5 Review: Is it worth buying?
Source: The Mobile Indian English

To conclude, the Lenovo A5 comes with an impressive compact form factor, good display, average camera, Android 8.1 Oreo and decent battery life. However, the smartphone does not bring anything new to the table and it lacks in performance too with an old chipset. So, if you are planning to buy a new standard designed budget smartphone with decent specs, then this can be considered as an option. At this price point, the phone faces a stiff competition with the Xiaomi Redmi 6A, Realme C1, Infinix Smart 2, and Yu Ace.

This display is quite big for a smartphone but frequently used for smartphones.

Large display-sizes allow higher resolutions. So, details like letters are bigger. On the other hand, the power consumption is lower with small screen diagonals and the devices are smaller, more lightweight and cheaper.
