Reviews for the Samsung Galaxy A05
Source: Tech X Reviews
The Samsung Galaxy A05 is positioned as an ultra-affordable option in the smartphone market. Its pricing is particularly appealing for those who need essential smartphone functionalities without breaking the bank. The Samsung Galaxy A05s, on the other hand, sits at a slightly higher price bracket, offering enhanced features for a modest increase in cost. The A05s brings to the table improvements in areas such as display quality, with a Full HD Plus IPS display and a higher refresh rate of 90Hz. These upgrades make the A05s an attractive option for users who prioritize better display and performance but are still mindful of their budget. The Galaxy A05s, while slightly more expensive, justifies its higher price with better display resolution, a higher refresh rate, and additional features like the fingerprint sensor. For users who spend significant time on their phones, whether for media consumption or more demanding applications, the extra investment in the A05s could offer a noticeably enhanced experience.

When compared to its competitors in the same price bracket, the Galaxy A05 holds its ground with a few standout features. It boasts a larger display, a decent processor in the form of the MediaTek Helio G85, and Samsung’s promise of software updates, which is a rarity in this segment. However, it does have some drawbacks, such as the lack of a high refresh rate display and a fingerprint scanner, features that are becoming increasingly common in budget smartphones. The Galaxy A05 offers a balanced mix of features for its price. The phone’s display, while only 720p, provides a satisfactory visual experience for everyday use. The camera setup, led by a 50-megapixel primary sensor, is capable of capturing good-quality photos under favorable conditions, which is impressive for a phone at this price point. Additionally, the 25W fast charging capability is a notable inclusion, though the absence of a charger in the box might offset this advantage for some buyers.
