Still on the trio of phone announced by Lenovo in China this week, I shall be introducing you to the Lenovo A5 in this post. You have previously seen the Lenovo Z5 and Lenovo K5 Note from the last two posts on this site. The Lenovo A5 is the most affordable among the trio, let me show you its full specifications, features, as well as its mouth-watering price.
Lenovo A5 Features
The Lenovo A5 features a MediaTek MT6739 SoC, coupled with a 3GB RAM and 16GB/32GB internal storage for an enhanced performance. Both storages can be expanded up to 256GB via the use of a microSD card. The phone has a 5.45 inch display with the same HD+ (720 x 1440 pixel) resolution, and 18:9 aspect ratio. The Lenovo A5 runs on ZUI 3.9 based on Android 8.1 Oreo.

Looking at the camera department, the Lenovo A5 has a 13MP primary camera with f/2.2 aperture, while the front-facing shooter has am 8MP sensor with f/2.2 opening. The interesting part about the Lenovo A5 is that it has a slightly bigger battery than the K5 Note, which is 4000mAh. This will indeed give it some impressive runtimes.

The ZUI 4.0 itself isn’t anything special, but Lenovo stressed on some key selling points of its user interface. The new version comes with optimized full-screen gestures that can be used instead of the standard software buttons and better CPU and memory management that should keep the phone running smoothly for months or years to come
