Design and Display
Made in a way that the budget status is apparent but still manages to impress. In terms of the characteristic premium touches here and there. One of this is seen in the reduced bezel on the smartphone and 18:9 aspect ratio. It also appears to be on a thicker side, measured at 9.8mm and weighs 165g which is partly due to its plastic build.
Just averaged sized, it offers just about the conventional resolution of HD+ quality which is very much the best you can get in the entry-level category – no pun intended. Stretching the 1440 x 720 pixels resolution over a 5.45-inch screen, the smartphone is colourful enough and with little bezels at the sides.
Battery and Camera
Certainly one of the selling points, the Lenovo A5 has a generous battery capacity which powers the low spec phone without any difficulty. Considering it has 4, 000mAh battery, the smartphone should be able to go for close to 2 days without charging. That being said, there is no fast charge privilege here so you will have to make do with the normal hours of charging.
Frankly, there is not much you can do with the camera featured on the smartphone as it only comes with what your money can buy and that being the budget price tag. While it does take okay pictures in seemingly perfect condition, low light pictures are not to be relied on. This being that you have just a 13MP rear camera and an 8MP selfie snapper at the front.

The engine on the smartphone is made up of a MediaTek chipset which is just powerful as an entry SoC can be. It includes a quad-core MediaTek MT6739 processor paired with a PowerVR GE8100 GPU.
