The Samsung Galaxy A05 128GB is Samsung's 2023 smartphone featuring a 6.7 inches, 108.4 cm2 (~82.1% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Mediatek Helio G85 (12 nm) chipset. It comes with a 5000 mAh battery. At AED 350 in the UAE and ₹10,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Samsung Galaxy A05 128GB excels with its 50MP main camera delivering detailed daytime shots, a 5000mAh battery lasting two full days under moderate use, and 25W wired charging that refills 50% in under 40 minutes. It’s built for budget-conscious buyers who prioritize battery endurance over speed—students, field workers, or seniors needing reliable all-day power without frequent charging. Its weakness is the 720x1600 PLS LCD screen: at 262 ppi, text and video appear noticeably soft compared to HD+ displays in rivals. In UAE at AED 350, it’s competitive because no other phone under AED 400 offers 5000mAh and 25W charging. In India at ₹10999, it’s overpriced—real competitors like the Redmi 12 offer 90Hz displays and 5G for the same cost. Skip if you need sharper visuals or future-proof connectivity.
