The Samsung Galaxy A05 alongside the Galaxy A05s represent Android-powered smartphones developed by Samsung Electronics. These models were officially introduced on September 25, 2023, with the A05 launching on October 15[1] and the A05s following on October 18, 2023.[2] Both devices belong to the broader Samsung Galaxy A series.
On March 6, 2024, the company unveiled the Galaxy M14, distinct from the similarly named Galaxy M14 5G.[3] Shortly thereafter, on August 2, the firm announced the launch of the Galaxy F14.[4][5] Both these models are essentially rebrands of the Samsung Galaxy A05s featuring alternate color schemes and varied memory options.[4][6]
Further expanding the lineup, on September 10, the Galaxy M05 was introduced, followed by the announcement of the Galaxy F05 on September 17.[7][8] These two are considered reworked versions of the original Samsung Galaxy A05 model differing primarily in color options and memory configurations.[9]
The reliability of the models within the Galaxy A05/F05/M05 range has drawn significant criticism due to persistent touchscreen malfunctions.
Design
The front panel consists of glass, whereas the rear varies by model: the Galaxy A05 features glossy plastic with stripe patterns, 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 are designed with matte plastic backs.
Located on the bottom edge are a 3.5 mm audio jack, a microphone, a USB-C charging port, and a speaker. The top edge houses an additional microphone. On the left side, depending on the region and model, either a single SIM or dual SIM tray is present on the Galaxy A05 and Galaxy A05s, while other models come exclusively with a dual SIM tray. The right side contains both the volume control buttons and the power key; notably, the power button incorporates a fingerprint scanner on the Galaxy A05s, Galaxy F14, and Galaxy M14.
