Verified purchaseReviewed 29/06/2025, United Kingdom.
4.9/5I bought this because I needed a phone for travel, and I thought the Galaxy A05 seemed like a low cost but high quality phone. The e phone arrived just 2 days after I purchased it, and based on the packaging and the appearance of the phone, anyone would think it was brand new. I was very impressed. The only downsides are A) the phone is a bit slow, especially when you first restart it. It’s not frustratingly slow though, so I manage. And B) The camera is a bit lower quality than I’d expected, but I am so pleased with Samsung (I’ve had iphones for the past 13 years!) and when I am ready for an upgrade I will surely purchase through Back Market again

The Samsung Galaxy A05 offers a straightforward smartphone experience for anyone who wants reliable basics without unnecessary fuss. Released in September 2023, the Galaxy A05 sticks to what's essential—clear visuals, a user-friendly interface, and handy camera options—making it one of Samsung’s refreshingly uncomplicated Android phones. Now two generations back from Samsung’s latest A-series models (as of 2025), it remains a solid pick for everyday use.
Key features:- Release Date: September 2023
- Display: 6.7-inch PLS LCD, HD+ resolution (1600 x 720 px)
- Processor: MediaTek Helio G85
- Camera: Dual rear cameras: 50MP wide + 2MP depth sensor, plus a 8MP selfie camera
- Operating System: Ships with Android 13
- Connectivity: 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), Bluetooth 5.3, 3.5mm headphone jack
- Build: Plastic body and frame, simple modern design
The Galaxy A05 is best for those who need a straightforward device for tasks like messaging, calls, social media, and occasional photos—think students, first-time smartphone owners, or anyone whose main requirement is reliability over razzle-dazzle. Compared to newer A-series phones, the A05 keeps things practical by focusing on what’s truly needed, rather than chasing the latest trends or features you may never use.
Pros & Cons:| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Large, easy-to-read display for browsing and streaming. | HD+ resolution only—not as sharp as FHD+ panels on pricier models. |
| Simple software for straightforward day-to-day use. | No NFC, so contactless payments are a no-go. |
| Good main camera in daylight for quick snaps. | Basic design—no water or dust resistance rating, and all-plastic build. |
| Classic features like a headphone jack are still here (finally, something that hasn’t vanished). | Only 4G—so no ultra-fast 5G downloads here. |
Why refurbished?
Choosing a refurbished Galaxy A05 means making an eco-conscious choice—keeping perfectly good tech in circulation and reducing e-waste with every purchase.
