Based on the listing on their website, the Meizu A5 offers entry-level features, that includes: a standard 5-inch GFF screen, 16GB storage (expandable), a 2 gig of RAM for multi-tasking. It powers a MediaTek MT6737 chipset and fueled by a generous 3,060 mAh battery size. The weight is just 140 grams and measures 144.0 x 70.5 x 8.3 mm.
Talking about the camera, a 8-megapixel is located on the rear, while the 5-megapixel lens is allocated for the front, with many beautification modes.
