Samsung Galaxy A05 technical sheet
The Samsung Galaxy A05 suits anyone looking for a Samsung phone for everyday basics who values battery capacity more than a sharp display or standout performance. Its main trade-off is the screen and hardware: both fall among the weakest compared with phones launched around the same time.
The 6.7-inch PLS LCD display has 720 × 1600 px resolution, a 60 Hz refresh rate, 262 ppi and peak brightness of 400 nits. Its refresh rate, pixel density and brightness are among the weakest of its time. The MediaTek Helio G85 comes with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage in this configuration; both the storage capacity and AnTuTu result are worse than most phones from that period. Storage is expandable.
The 50 MP camera has a typical resolution, but its 1/2.8″ sensor is among the smallest of its time. There is also a 2 MP depth camera and an 8 MP front camera. The 5000 mAh battery and 25 W charging are typical figures. Other features include dual Nano-SIM, Bluetooth 5.3 and a 3.5 mm audio jack. It runs Android 13 and receives OS updates for two years. The phone is sold in configurations from 4 GB / 64 GB to 6 GB / 128 GB. Its overall NeoScore is 4.4: a basic choice for buyers who prioritize the brand and battery over display and performance.
