[@bandit8708]

The design for this phone is absolutely insane

[@ItsWENTI_WM]

I am telling you

[@azsnee2070]

Izzy and cool, yet top notch review

[@doyinteaches5712]

How did we normalize buying a phone without a charging brick? How far have we fallen as a human race 😔

[@izziboye]

We kept buying the phones even when they came without the charger. Shows the manufacturer they can keep doing it

[@juliusugwuanyi2412]

​@@izziboyebro please do a review of the tecno spark 20 pro if its out😢

[@IanOuma]

It's the new norm & soon other manufacturers will do the same

[@TechWithIpin]

It's "for the environment"😂

[@rrsharizam]

In Indonesia, the phone comes with 25W fast charger. In Malaysia, there is no charger but you do get lower price.

[@AliyuAdamu03]

Well done Izzi Boye 🙌

[@kylliehall9764]

My dad loves it !!

[@wethepeoplegh]

I am a huge Samsung fan but this no charger in the box is just too bad. I know my displeasure won't change anything but I will still say it.

[@ilhammeeko8385]

Nice review izzi

[@otagunolaniyi8767]

Heyy, Izzi. Nice video, as always! Could you try making a review of the Redmi A3?

[@KAMSEY.]

Samsung are doing good with their uniform idea

[@sofyrodriguezL]

Hello, I have a question, does this phone have the AR function? Thank you

[@Gospel-Tech]

Nice review sir ❤

[@mrkev87]

Yo!!! I just found out I am in Izzi's video. Blownnn😁😁😁

[@killerunknown]

Does it have a finger print lock

[@balogunoladipupo]

Nice review boss

[@oluremiajayi6096]

He said "entry-level phone"😁😁😁. I enjoyed watching the review. Well-done, Izzi.

[@AHD2105]

Yes it is an entry level phone. 😂 Thats why we chose it for my grandfather. He just was to call his brother overseas. Doesnt play games or use camera. Cheaper to call via WiFi than landline. And can set to easy mode for dummies.

[@cyano001]

Bought it ,thanks izzi

[@Kobus-es7nv]

4:09 have you turned of auto brightness?

[@user-fh4km9xe1l]

Is the black view shark 8 available in Nigeria yet?, And pls could you review it?

[@ItsWENTI_WM]

Please does the Samsung Galaxy A05 do screem mirroring

[@user-ye8xu6qd1w]

[@ilhammeeko8385]

Izzi pls wic one is better between a04 and a05?

[@safo837]

Good job bro

[@justmar5026]

bought this for my dad but i didnt like it at all, i changed for a redmi note 12 and absolutely worth the price

[@Dendrophiledandelions]

Why? Can you explain? I was thinking of buying it

[@amakaesecret4089]

Amazing Review as always Tech Guru 🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤩

[@JohnDir-xw3hf]

But it's very bad. Especially camera test without any examples.

[@izziboye]

@@JohnDir-xw3hf Ah I see. You were blind watching this video. There's a whole dedicated camera section with image and video samples but it flew right past you. Why am I not surprised?

How can I get cover/pouch fro galaxy ao5 review. Pls I need one. Thanks

How can i get that widget clock and wallpaper

[@divinefavourite817]

This is the best phone right now!

[@oritsesegbemijudegbonwei9870]

Just got it yesterday. If I had known it didn't have fingerprint situation, I wouldn't have gotten it. That's the only issue for me. I pray they release a software that addresses this situation.

[@victorifeanyi6376]

Just battling with same issue

[@izziboye]

Software update cannot bring a hardware feature such as fingerprint scanner. It's encouraged that you wait and watch reviews on a device so you know its strengths and limitations before buying.

[@oritsesegbemijudegbonwei9870]

@@izziboye Thank you. Lesson learnt 💯

[@chiomaohazulike6629]

I love how the brightness always drops to the lowest and I get to decide what I want. Not a fan of too much light.

[@jaydensegers9913]

There's a setting if you press on the three dots in the brightness bar which allows you to switch between auto and manual

[@praizreviews8648]

I think samsung really needs to step up on their budget devices!!

[@user-kj4nj2xj2o]

Am about to have it before end of this month by God grace but I have hope

[@dannykodjo127]

how do get that clock

[@AuduBuba]

i feel the fingerprint scanner situation is more like we wont do it case lol

[@geekdeelino]

I enjoyed the video, Samsung keeps surprising us , now no charger 😂

[@spiegelknee-da-girls7309]

Is the processing power good enough that it wont crash or lag on apps? Im looking for a cheap enough phone I can trade with and with my budget 😅 I need something that can carry me through without my wallet having holes in it .

[@asmark2264]

Am not here for Samsung, am here for Izzi Boy's opinion..

[@eyitayosamuel216]

Though am a Samsung fan but i feel if Samsung continues not giving their customers in Nigeria value for money they may just fall out in the Nigeria narket most especially with thier budget phones

[@oumarfaruqchaneltv5070]

The phone and very good

[@kirikanjau5065]

phone looks good

[@MIRIAMMUKAMY-bz6qh]

It's so good 👍..I have mine tooo❤

[@abundancekendickson243]

It's very bad that a budget samsung phone can not screen record, something that is in every phone

[@Blank-xs7kr]

It's on one ui 6 now with android 14 but said features are still missing and most notably for me at least edge panels are still missing from the settings

[@estherolorunfemi7427]

It cannot have edge panel, it's an entry level Samsung device

[@dafzz6694]

How much is the charger

[@user-nn3wn1zh7g]

I bought this phone last month. It has a nice body. It has good user experience and graphics and also amazing sound. I hate that it does not have a charger brick and also it shows that the phone is charging when it's not. Thirdly, the camera is not good enough.

[@mrvskhulu2031]

You should take yours back to the shop. Mine doesn't show charging when not charging

[@CameronPosh]

This phone stops charging after just a month. It isn’t a software issue. Unfortunately it’s the very common problem with A05, I just had mine replaced after just 1 month of using it, it stopped charging completely. If you have the same problem, you should take FULL ADVANTAGE of Samsung 1 year warranty, they will have to fix or replace your phone within a year free of charge (for an exact same so you will likely have the same problem regardless). Initially, it seemed like a good phone, now I’m regretting my choice. If anyone found a solution out of this dumb charging problem, please let me know!

[@obiajuluchike1594]

Izzy please which is better between this a05 4gb,64 gb or a04s 4gb ,64gb , I'm having a hard time picking out which is a better buy

[@KenKanSizzle]

Get the a05 4gb, 64 gb

[@KenKanSizzle]

Better that the a04s in everyway imo

[@godswillak]

The Redmi Note 12 kills this by a long shot in things like performance Absolutely no restriction to how many photos you want to take per half a second even

[@codeandtech77]

really good review, but samsung disappointed us by removing the fingerprint sensor entirely from this budget smartphone

[@armouronwubalili148]

Pls how many years of OS upgrade does Samsung guarantee for the A05 and A05s?

[@rrsharizam]

2 years of software update 4 years of security patches

[@mazeluijeomasuccess392]

My husband bought it for me as a birthday gift. No charger

[@izziboye]

@@FrankFejiro-kd6hk if you mean the clock animation on the home screen, any device on Android 12 and above can do it except Xiaomi/Redmi devices. Just download Google clock app and check your widgets

Please let us know if they upgrade the camera oooo😢😢

Does it come out with Charger and earohones?

[@user-xt4xx6wo6q]

I buy it and no charger no earphones 😢

[@seyiseyi6155]

It's quite unfortunate that we don't get chargers anymore. If i want to get this phone, I'd have to discard the charger i currently have because it's a normal usb type.

[@user-yb9sl1ln6r]

O meu A05 vem com caregador,

[@valentinechimdindu1158]

Nice review, but I got this phone about week ago and its been very slow charging even after I turned on the fast charging in the settings. I plug it overnight and wake up to 81%

[@mazeluijeomasuccess392]

It's from the charger

[@agoromuiz8330]

Same here bro

[@SimantaMajumder]

Really an awesome looking phone

[@pixelgaming7261]

The Redmi 12 does not come with a charger but a case.

[@ifrankenstein7455]

A budget samsung phone that is very decent. Im shocked

[@ayobamiolorunjobi6862]

you are gradually becoming a rapper.....

[@izziboye]

I will inform you when I release album

[@Oyaskii]

I doubt people look to Samsung for low end devices because the competitions seem to do it better.

[@izziboye]

The Galaxy A14 was the best selling Android device last year. The year before, it was the A13. I'd say people look to Samsung for budget devices regardless of how much better the competition does it. That's why we have to let them know their devices are below par

[@oluwatosinomoluwa1972]

Got the base variant for my mom, those guys charged 104k

Chai. I thought you want to keave this one for the boys.

Hey Izzi boye i wanted to know if these retail shops sells thier smart phone based on the normal dollar rate or they sell based on black market rate pls really need your thoughts on this cozz im confused

[@izziboye]

Doesn't matter. They list their prices in Naira. The pricing they set is what is recommended to them by the manufacturer. You can take their pricing and convert to dollars at different rates then compare with the official dollar pricing

[@NieketienDoubra-if3le]

Yeah thanks for the info izzi but there one thing I noticed the price you listed here for the Samsung A05 is very much going to be different from the price retailers are selling I dont really get whats up with this retailers

[@izziboye]

@@NieketienDoubra-if3le you're buying from the wrong retailers then. There are manufacturer recommended retailers. As of now, there's a discount on the A05 if I'm correct, so you'll even find it for less. Check Finetmobile.com Pointekonline.com
