Xiaomi is bringing its latest budget smartphone, the Redmi A5 4G, to the Pakistani market on April 15, as confirmed through the company’s official teaser. Positioned as a daily driver for budget-conscious users, the Redmi A5 combines modern features like a 120Hz refresh rate and Android 15 Go Edition with an affordable price tag.
Big Display and Stylish Design
