The Samsung Galaxy A05 alongside the Samsung Galaxy A05s constitute a pair of Android smartphones developed by Samsung Electronics. These devices were officially unveiled on September 25, 2023, with their market launch occurring on October 15[1] and October 18, respectively.[2] Both models belong to the broader Samsung Galaxy A series.
On March 6, 2024, the company introduced the Samsung Galaxy M14, which should not be confused with the similarly named Samsung Galaxy M14 5G.[3] Subsequently, on August 2, the launch of the Samsung Galaxy F14 was announced.[4][5] The devices known as the Galaxy M14 and F14 are essentially reissues of the Samsung Galaxy A05s platform but are offered with distinct color selections and variations in memory capacity.[4][6]
Further expanding the lineup, on September 10, the Samsung Galaxy M05 was introduced followed by the announcement of the Samsung Galaxy F05 on September 17.[7][8] Both models are essentially refreshed versions of the original Samsung Galaxy A05 design featuring alternative color schemes and differing RAM/storage configurations.[9]
The reliability of the devices within the combined series of models designated as the Galaxy A05/F05/M05 has come under scrutiny due to prevalent touchscreen-related malfunctions reported by users.
Design
The front panel consists of glass, while the rear varies by model: the Galaxy A05 features glossy plastic with striped detailing, the Galaxy F05 uses plastic with a leather-like finish, the Galaxy M05 has plain glossy plastic, and the Galaxy A05s, Galaxy F14, and Galaxy M14 come with matte plastic backs.
Along the bottom edge, you will find a 3.5 mm audio jack, a microphone, a USB-C charging port, and a speaker. The top edge houses an extra microphone. On the left side, there is either a single or dual SIM tray depending on the regional variant of the Galaxy A05 and Galaxy A05s models; all other models include only dual SIM trays. The right side contains both the volume control buttons and the power key, which integrates a fingerprint scanner on the Galaxy A05s, Galaxy F14, and Galaxy M14.
