Samsung Galaxy A05s in Nepal Overview
The Samsung Galaxy A05s comes with a large 6.7-inch screen and a triple camera module at the back. The plastic body may be not so common these days but given that flagships would come with this not so long ago, it should give a justification.
For performance, the device gets Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 680 which is a mid-range performer and corresponds well with modest features. One good highlight of this smartphone should be its storage capacity. The entry-level lineup gets 128 GB of internal storage. Let’s dig deeper.
Design & Display
The Samsung Galaxy A05s comes with a flat back panel and shares similar vertically aligned three cameras with its predecessor Galaxy A04s. However, this time, Samsung has increased the gap between the lens and size by a slight. The devices get a shiny matte finish and a smooth texture which could require its grip a used-to.
The thin bezels do make for a nice viewing angle and feel. The device stretches 168 x 77.8 x 8.8 mm and weighs 194 grams. The side-mounted fingerprint sensor rests on the left.
For display, the lineup sports a 6.7-inch IPS LCD display panel with a waterdrop camera cutout in the middle. The AMOLED panels offer vibrant and colorful images but IPS screens render authentic images. The screen has a resolution of 1,080 x 2,400 pixels which is a pretty much standard issue these days. Similarly, it features a 20:9 aspect ratio with 393 pixels per inch (PPI) density which means the images you see on this device will be fairly sharp and crisp. After all, it’s a FHD+ display. A 90 Hz refresh rate is still good to have. The model can offer a decent multimedia experience with 16 million colors.

With the rear camera, you can shoot photo videos, and take portraits and panoramas. The pro mode and food mode brings more fun and versatility to your smartphone photography experience. You can record videos at 1080p@60fps.

Performance
The Samsung Galaxy A05s is backed by Qualcomm’s mid-range chipset Snapdragon 680. This 6nm process-built won’t give you an extraordinary thrill in graphics and gaming, however, don’t let that discourage you. Smartphone SoCs have come so far that even affordable smartphones can offer a good combination of performance with the ability to multitask. The Galaxy A05s is no exception.
The Snapdragon 680’s octa-core CPU has 4×2.4 GHz Kryo 265 Gold and 4×1.9 GHz Kryo 265 Silver cores that offer efficiency and enough punch. The maximum clock of 2.4 GHz does handle the performance and offers you a good battery life. The chipset is mated to Adreno 610 GPU which is basically meant for gaming graphics, and all multimedia related.
RAM and Storage
The Samsung Galaxy A05s comes with two RAM options- 4 GB and 6 GB and 128 GB of internal storage. A 128 GB default storage is already good but can be exhausted easily for those who keep large files, photos, and videos. So, there’s an option to extend the external memory up to 1 TB via a MicroSD card.
Battery and Others
One of the highlights of the Samsung Galaxy A05s is its large battery and support for fast charging. The smartphone comes with a 5,000 mAh non-removable battery and supports 25W fast charging with USB Type C. Whether you play games, continuously browse the web, and watch videos, the batter’s large capacity and well-optimized software and hardware give you plenty of screentime. The fast charge comes in handy to save you time in charging. A few minutes of charging gives your phone enough juice for up to a few hours. That’s one of the sweetest innovations in smartphone evolution over the years. It’s only good that budget smartphones also get these with improvements.
The model has other standard features such as GPS, Glonass, WiFi, etc. The model supports 4G connectivity in band 3 and ban20 which provides high-speed broadband coverage, in rural and deep indoors. The device comes with OneUI custom skin based on Android 13. Samsung promises 2 generation of OS updates and 4 years of security update, to assure your phone running smooth in future.
