The device went well, from the entry to the physical state of the mobile phone. It came with a sign behind the phone that appeared to be a circular mark that was a slightly different colour, and more visible on the phone. All in all, everything is fine.

The phone arrived packaged in a box as if it was new. The battery seems new also. Pros: a decent phone at a reasonable price. Excellent camera. Clear screen. Cons:it doesn’t have the tech to do contactless payments which is a drawback. The cable supplied is not usb A. (Minor issue)

Device was a present for my daughter just to be used as an MP3 player. Condition was as described. Box condition was terrible and left an awful first impression of the quality of the item I had bought.

The Galaxy A05s is Samsung’s entry-level smartphone, first launched in September 2023. Two generations behind Samsung’s flagships, it keeps things practical with a large screen and reliable basics — just what you’d expect from a modern, everyday device that skips the buzzwords. Built for users who want solid fundamentals in a straightforward Android package, the Galaxy A05s continues to hold its own in 2025 for everyday tasks and simple entertainment.

Key features:

Release Date: September 2023
Display: 6.7-inch PLS LCD, FHD+ resolution (1080 x 2400 px)
Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 (6nm octa-core)
Camera: Triple rear camera: 50MP main, 2MP macro, 2MP depth; 13MP front camera
Operating System: Ships with Android 13
Build: Plastic frame and back, glass front
Connectivity: 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 5 (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac), Bluetooth 5.1
Security: Side-mounted fingerprint sensor, face unlock

Who is this for?

The Samsung Galaxy A05s is best for students, casual users, or anyone after a no-nonsense Android with a big screen for streaming or scrolling. If you don’t need flagship tricks but want practical Galaxy A05s features — like a decent main camera and easy navigation — this model’s for you. The Galaxy A14 brings some extras like 5G, but for basic use, the A05s keeps it simple and familiar.

Pros & Cons:

Pros	Cons
Large 6.7-inch display is great for videos and reading.	No AMOLED panel; colours and contrast aren’t as punchy as pricier models.
Clean Android 13 experience with useful Samsung software.	No 5G support, so not future-proofed for the fastest networks.
Simple design is easy to grip and lightweight.	Basic performance — not designed for heavy gaming or lots of multitasking.
Headphone jack included for wired audio fans.	Mono speaker — don’t expect stereo sound.

Why refurbished?

Choosing a refurbished Galaxy A05s keeps a perfectly usable phone in circulation — saving resources and reducing e-waste. Each device is professionally checked and tested against strict standards, so you know it’s up to scratch. Learn more about our quality standards.
