The Samsung Galaxy A05 alongside the Samsung Galaxy A05s are Android-powered smartphones developed by Samsung Electronics. These models were unveiled on September 25, 2023, with the A05 becoming available on October 15[1] and the A05s launching shortly after on October 18 of the same year.[2] These devices belong to the broader lineup known as the Samsung Galaxy A series.
On March 6, 2024, the company introduced the Samsung Galaxy M14, which should not be confused with the similarly named model featuring 5G connectivity.[3] Later that year, on August 2, Samsung announced the arrival of the Samsung Galaxy F14.[4][5] Both the M14 and F14 models are essentially reissues of the Samsung Galaxy A05s but are distinguished by varied color schemes and memory options.[4][6]
Subsequently, on September 10, 2024, Samsung launched the Galaxy M05, followed by the announcement of the Galaxy F05 on September 17 that same year. These two devices serve as rebrands of the fundamental Samsung Galaxy A05 model but offer alternative color palettes and memory configurations.[7][8]
Concerns have been raised regarding the dependability of the models in the A05/F05/M05 lineup, primarily due to recurring issues related to their touchscreen functionality.
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 showcases plastic with a leather-like finish, the Galaxy M05 uses plain glossy plastic, and the Galaxy A05s, Galaxy F14, and Galaxy M14 all have matte plastic backs.
At the bottom edge, users will find 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 region and model, there is either a single SIM or dual SIM slot for the Galaxy A05 and Galaxy A05s, while other models come with only a dual SIM tray. The right side contains the volume controls and power button; notably, the power button integrates a fingerprint scanner on the Galaxy A05s, Galaxy F14, and Galaxy M14.
