Product details
The Galaxy A05 weighs 195 grams and measures 168.8 by 78.2 by 8.8 millimeters. It features a 6.7-inch PLS LCD with 720 x 1600 pixels. Samsung Galaxy AO5 runs on Android 13 OS, is powered by an Octa-core Mediatek MT6769V/CZ Helio G85 (12nm) processor, and is anchored by 128GB 6GB RAM.
To capture pictures and record videos, you have a single 8MP selfie camera and dual main camera set up: 50MP + 2MP. Samsung Galaxy AO5 records good quality 1080p@30/60fps videos. Being 4G enabled, with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (5.3, A2DP, LE), connectivity is decent.
Samsung Galaxy AO5 is powered by a Li-Po 5000 mAh, non-removable battery with a fast-charging 25W wired unit. The phone is available in Black, Silver and Light Green and comes in a sturdy frame with a linearly patterned backside. It is a beautiful, slim, sleek phone with a minimalistic, ergonomic design characteristic of most Samsung’s budget and mid-range smartphones.
Samsung Galaxy A05 measures 168.8 x 78.2 x 8.8 mm and weighs 195 g. It is not featherlight but reasonably light and slim enough to enable good handling when placed in the pocket or pulled out to make calls or text a message. It features a 6.7-inch PLS LCD, with an 82.1% screen-to-body ratio.
Such a larger screen provides a platform to enjoy content and media consumption better than smaller screens. However, 720 x 1600 pixels, 20:9 ratio (~262 ppi density) resolution is lower and provides less quality user experience than 1080p resolution. Default refresh rate and resolution are functional, but limit your preferred or expected immersive experience when playing games and browsing through your gallery.
Samsung Galaxy A05 is a great, affordable budget smartphone that will keep you going. Although shaved off most of the features and functionalities found in mid-range handsets, it is still a worthwhile consideration to purchase and own. A 5000mAh battery with wired fast charging support, a large display, and a decent camera set up make it a decent phone.
Despite low 720p resolution, no 4K video recording support, no 5G network connectivity and lacking custom UI, you will still find value for your money when it comes to:
