The devices known as the Samsung Galaxy A05 and the Samsung Galaxy A05s, both Android-powered smartphones from Samsung Electronics, were unveiled on September 25, 2023. Their market launches followed shortly after on October 15[1] and October 18, respectively.[2] These models belong to the broader lineup of the Samsung Galaxy A series.
On March 6, 2024, Samsung introduced the Galaxy M14, distinct from the similarly named Galaxy M14 5G.[3] This was followed by the announcement of the Galaxy F14 on August 2, 2024.[4][5] Both the Galaxy M14 and Galaxy F14 are essentially reissues of the Galaxy A05s, differentiated mainly by their color options and memory specifications.[4][6]
Later in September of the same year, the company launched the Galaxy M05 on the tenth and followed it up with the Galaxy F05 on the seventeenth.[7][8] These models are considered rebrands of the original Galaxy A05, distinguished primarily by their varied color schemes and RAM configurations.
The reliability of the Galaxy A05, F05, and M05 has faced considerable scrutiny due to recurring touchscreen issues reported by users.
Design
The front panel consists of glass, while the rear varies by model: the Galaxy A05 features glossy plastic with stripe accents, 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 incorporate matte plastic backs.
Located on the bottom edge are a 3.5 mm headphone 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 regional variant of the Galaxy A05 and Galaxy A05s, there is either a single SIM or dual SIM tray; all other models come with a dual SIM tray exclusively. The right side contains the volume controls and the power button, which integrates a fingerprint scanner on the Galaxy A05s, Galaxy F14, and Galaxy M14.
