Overview

The Galaxy A05 is a budget phone from Samsung, with an unverified reference price of about JOD 54 (about $75) — an estimate, not a confirmed market price. Below is its full spec sheet with a plain-language breakdown, pros and cons, and how it compares to its rivals. We have not tested this phone ourselves; everything here is derived from published specifications.

Its main highlights: its large 5,000 mAh battery. Its chipset is basic (25/100) — calls, WhatsApp and light browsing, as a first or backup phone.

Performance-index rank: #143 of 342 Samsung phones we list.

Why consider it?

The A05 is the floor of Samsung's 2023 range: a 6.7-inch PLS LCD, but at 720x1600 only, with a 5,000mAh battery and 25W charging support, from ≈ 54 JD. Samsung never names its processor on the product page — it publishes only 2GHz and 1.8GHz clocks across eight cores.

Who it suits

Someone who wants the cheapest new Samsung for calls, messages and basic apps, with a big battery and a memory card slot, and who is not fussy about screen sharpness.

Who should look elsewhere

Not for long reading or video — 720x1600 spread across 6.7 inches — and not for anyone who wants to unlock with a fingerprint: Samsung's sensor list for this model includes no fingerprint reader at all.

Performance, camera, display and battery — and the limits of the evidence

Samsung Levant's SM-A055F table lists an octa-core processor at 2GHz and 1.8GHz without naming the silicon, a habit Samsung repeats across its budget range. Our catalogue records a Helio G85, and the clocks match what Samsung publishes, but the name itself is not confirmed by the manufacturer. The display is a PLS LCD measuring 171.3mm, or 6.7 inches, at 720x1600 — and this is precisely where the phone parts company with the A05s, which carries the same size at 1080x2400. The battery is 5,000mAh (4,900mAh rated) with fast charging up to 25W and the charger sold separately, figures identical to the A05s. Rear cameras are a 50MP F1.8 plus a 2MP F2.4, with no optical stabilisation and digital zoom up to 10x, and the front camera is 8MP at F2.0 against 13MP on the A05s. The base configuration is 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage with 44.4GB actually free, plus microSD up to 1TB. Connectivity covers 2G, 3G and 4G only, Bluetooth 5.3 (newer than the A05s), Wi-Fi up to ac, a 3.5mm jack and a Type-C port on USB 2.0. The body is 168.8 x 78.2 x 8.8mm at 195g. After the screen, the biggest separation is that the sensor list contains no fingerprint reader at all. Samsung places the A05 and A05s together in the quarterly security-update group, so software life is not a card either one wins on. We have not tested it or measured its performance or photos.

Alternatives worth comparing

  • Redmi A5 — At JOD 53 (estimate), it is JOD 1 cheaper. Compare the variants before deciding: 64GB+ versus 64GB+ storage, 5,200 versus 5,000 mAh, and Unisoc T7250 versus Helio G85. These are specification differences, not measured performance or battery life. (53 JOD · estimate) full comparison ›
  • Galaxy S9 — At JOD 55 (estimate), it is JOD 1 more expensive. Compare the variants before deciding: 64GB+ versus 64GB+ storage, 3,000 versus 5,000 mAh, and Exynos 9810 versus Helio G85. These are specification differences, not measured performance or battery life. (55 JOD · estimate)

Strengths and trade-offs in detail ›

Verdict — conditional on your needs and the documented price above

If the goal is the cheapest new Samsung with a 5,000mAh battery and a card slot, it does that job at ≈ 54 JD. But put its price next to the A05s before you commit: what separates them on paper is substantial — double the resolution, a fingerprint reader, a third rear lens and a better selfie camera — and the real limit here is that a 720-pixel panel stretched over 6.7 inches is the first thing you will notice every day.

Approximate ratings computed from the published specs (display type and refresh rate, cameras, battery and charging, and price vs. performance) — not lab tests.

What does that mean in plain words?

Chipset: Helio G85 — basic tier (25/100): calls, WhatsApp and light browsing.
Battery: 5,000 mAh — a large capacity by market standards. Capacity is an indicator, not a measurement: real endurance depends on the display, chipset and your usage, and we have not measured it.
Charging: 25W — standard (rated charging power; actual charge time varies with the charger and temperature).
Display: HD+, 6.7-inch, 60Hz — the panel technology (OLED or LCD) is not recorded for this device, so we make no claim about its contrast.
Camera: 50+2 MP (2 lenses) plus a 8 MP front camera. Megapixels and lens count describe the setup, not image quality — real results depend on the sensor and processing, which we have not tested.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • A 5,000mAh battery (4,900mAh rated) and 25W charging support — exactly the same figures Samsung publishes for the pricier A05s
  • A microSD slot for up to 1TB, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and Bluetooth 5.3 — a newer version than the 5.1 listed on the A05s sheet
  • A 50MP F1.8 main camera with autofocus and flash — the same resolution and aperture Samsung lists for the A05s main lens

Cons

  • 720x1600 on a 6.7-inch panel, less than half the pixel count of the near-identically sized A05s
  • No fingerprint sensor: Samsung's list is accelerometer, light and proximity only, so unlocking means a PIN or pattern
  • Samsung publishes neither a chipset name nor a refresh rate for this model, and places it in the quarterly security-update group rather than the monthly one

Note: Unverified reference estimate (derived from launch pricing and comparable phones) — a starting point for negotiation, not a confirmed price. Specs come from official manufacturer announcements and the locally available variant may differ slightly; the indices are computed from specs and we have not tested the phone ourselves. USD equivalents use the official peg.
Specification ambiguity: Some spec fields on this page (chip, refresh_hz) could not be matched to the manufacturer's own page — either the maker does not publish them, publishes a different figure, or the name covers more than one variant. Treat them as unconfirmed. Spotted an error? Let us know.
