Samsung Galaxy A05s

Galaxy A05s weighs 194g and measures 168 x 77.8 x 8.8 mm. It features a 6.7-inch PLS LCD with 1080 x 2400 pixels resolution. The Samsung Galaxy A05s uses Android 13 and a Qualcomm SM6225 Snapdragon 680 4G (6nm) octa-core processor with 128GB of storage and 6GB of RAM.

To capture pictures and record videos, you have a single 13MP selfie camera and a triple primary camera set up: 50MP + 2MP + 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 AO5s is powered by a Li-Po 5,000 mAh, non-removable battery with a fast-charging 25W wired unit. The phone is available in Black, Silver, Light Green and Violet 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 A05s measures 168 x 77.8 x 8.8 mm and weighs 194 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 82.9% screen-to-body ratio.

Such a more extensive screen provides a platform to enjoy content and media consumption better than smaller screens. Moreover, 1080 x 2400 pixels, 20:9 ratio (~393 ppi density) resolution is super, providing more quality user experience than 7200p resolution on Samsung Galaxy A05. The default refresh rate and resolution are functionally effective but limit your preferred or expected immersive experience when playing games and browsing through your gallery.

Samsung Galaxy A05s is an excellent, affordable budget smartphone that will keep you going. It is an improved version of Samsung Galaxy AO5, with most features and functionalities in mid-range handsets. A 5,000mAh battery with wired fast charging support, a large display, and a decent camera setup 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:
