For authentication and security, the Lenovo A5 comes with a fingerprint scanner at the back. But, in addition to that, it also comes with AI-based Face Unlock that uses face recognition to unlock the smartphone. Lenovo says that the fingerprint scanner can unlock the smartphone in 0.09 seconds, whereas Face Unlock can unlock the smartphone in 0.3 seconds.
Moving on, the photography department on the Lenovo A5 is handled by a 13 MP camera at the back and an 8 MP camera on the front. And lastly, the smartphone comes with a 4000 mAh battery that comes with support for 10W charging.
