The Samsung Galaxy A05 alongside the Samsung Galaxy A05s are Android-powered smartphones developed by Samsung Electronics. These devices were unveiled on September 25, 2023, with the A05 launching on October 15 and the A05s following on October 18 of the same year. Both models belong to the broader lineup known as the Samsung Galaxy A series.
On March 6, 2024, Samsung introduced the Galaxy M14, distinct from the similarly named model with a "5G" designation,[1] followed by the announcement of the Galaxy F14, which occurred on August 2, 2024.[2][3] Both of these models are essentially rebrands of the Samsung Galaxy A05s but come with alternative color variants and memory options.[2][4]
Subsequently, on September 10, 2024, the company launched the Galaxy M05, followed by the release of the Galaxy F05 on September 17, 2024. These two models are regarded as rebranding efforts based on the original Samsung Galaxy A05 framework but offer different color schemes and memory specifications.[5][6]
The reliability of the base models—Galaxy A05, F05, and M05—has faced considerable scrutiny due to recurring touchscreen malfunctions reported by users.
Design
The front panel consists of glass, whereas 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 sports plain glossy plastic, and the Galaxy A05s, Galaxy F14, and Galaxy M14 have matte plastic backs.
Located at 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, the Galaxy A05 and Galaxy A05s offer either a single SIM or a dual SIM tray, while all other models come with a dual SIM tray exclusively. The right side contains the volume control buttons along with the power key; this power button integrates a fingerprint scanner on the Galaxy A05s, Galaxy F14, and Galaxy M14.
