Galaxy M05 Price in Jordan

Why consider it?

The M05 is about as cheap as a phone carrying Samsung's name gets: a 17.13cm HD+ PLS LCD, a MediaTek Helio G85, a 5000mAh battery with 25W charging, a 50 and 2MP camera pair, a 3.5mm headphone socket and a microSD slot, from an estimated ≈ 58.

Who it suits

A second handset, or a student's first one: calls, messaging and a battery that lasts, for the least you can spend on a major-brand phone.

Who should look elsewhere

Not for anyone who will spend hours a day on it; the resolution is 720×1600 and the official sensor list contains no fingerprint reader.

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

Phones at this level are judged by what they refuse to drop rather than by what they add. For the SM-M055F, Samsung publishes a PLS LCD measuring 17.13cm in the full rectangle at 720×1600, an octa-core MediaTek Helio G85 at 2GHz and 1.8GHz, 4GB of memory with the option to borrow another 4 or 6GB from storage, and 64GB of storage of which only 47.1GB is actually free, alongside a microSD slot that reaches a full terabyte. The battery is 5000mAh typical and charging is rated 25W with a note that the charger is sold separately; the cameras are 50MP at f/1.8 and a 2MP depth unit with no stabilisation, the selfie camera is 8MP, and recording reaches 1080p at 60fps. The 3.5mm socket survives here, which is more than can be said for far pricier handsets. Against that, the sensor list runs only to accelerometer, light and proximity — no fingerprint reader — NFC is absent from the table, the network stops at 4G, and no refresh rate is published anywhere. The line that lifts the whole package is Samsung's own commitment printed on the page: two Android upgrades and four years of security updates, unusual at this price and checkable before you buy. All of this is read from published specifications, not from testing we performed.

Alternatives worth comparing

• Tecno Spark 10 Pro — The same price buys a 6.78-inch 90Hz screen and a Helio G88 very close to the G85 — a stated refresh figure where Samsung stays silent, but no written update commitment. (58 JOD · estimate) full comparison ›
• Redmi Note 8 Pro — A stronger Helio G90T and a 64MP camera for the same outlay, though it is a 2019 device with a 4500mAh battery and an age that puts it outside the update window. (58 JOD · estimate) full comparison ›

Verdict — conditional on your needs and the documented price above

If the brief is a phone that works, charges and lasts a day for the smallest possible outlay, with four stated years of security patches behind it, this fills that role at ≈ 58. Spend hours a day on it and you will run into the screen resolution and the missing fingerprint reader well before you run into the processor, and the figure shown is an estimate rather than an observed price.
