Is A5 The standard notebook size?

This medium-sized notebook is made up of sheets of A5 paper with a standard size of 145 × 210 mm (5.70 × 8.26 in). It has the size of an average iPad, so you can use it on the go.
ANSI A: The standard 8.5″ x 11″ or “Letter” size so prevalent in full-sized notebooks.

Which notebook is bigger A4 or A5?

The same as a standard piece of paper and roughly twice as big as an A5 option, A4 notebooks are less practical for carrying around, but if you're sitting down at your desk to write a new novel, an A4 notebook is the perfect creative companion, giving you all the space you need to let your imagination run wild.
