I purchased the Galaxy A05s with my own money (over two weeks ago) and spent a lot on importing two models it to my country. I would really appreciate it if you would give me a like for the time it took to film this.

the A05s looked promising over the last year A04s , it is a huge upgrade!!! , also keep your beard , it looked awesome 👌

[@nathansstuff1547]

Not wrong. It's a massive upgrade. The Exynos in the A04s shouldn't have even been anywhere near a phone.

Put the refresh rate down to 60HZ, and choose the 6GB version.

Well thorough review Kevin! Keep it up!

[@KevinRiazi]

Thanks Brad! Much appreciated 👊

[@jolenewood804]

Great review! Thank you! I have one of these phones and am really very happy with it. I've migrated from iPhone to this... basically I refuse to spend thousands on a device when all I use it for is email, browsing and some social media. This phone does more than the older iPhones and performs better - so unless you game on the phone - why bother with something more expensive? The camera is good enough and the only time I ever listen to music using this device, is in the car, via my infotainment setup, and using my JBL headphones - so the speaker really doesn't matter. Voicenotes are audible enough. Highly recommend this phone and again, thank you for your detailed review!

[@SergioMolan]

This review is absolutely amazing! I bought this phone for my mom and right after saw a bunch of negative reviews online - but really after watching this one I realize those are just from unknowledgeable people. This phone is excellent for it's price, really impressive in my opinion.

Thank you very much for the video. If possible may you please make a comparison video of the A14 and the a05s. Much appreciated

[@IansDrumsandBass]

Had mine a week now and it's awesome. I've updated to Android 14 One UI 6.0. I turned off the 90htz refresh rate to 60, and turned on power saving mode, and disabled animations, (which has made the phone much faster) with no impact on the performance at all, and the battery lasts twice as long - you can thanke later. Wasn't aware of the force apps to sd, so I've done that, tks. It's great that you can move most apps to the sd, and uninstall others you don't want. It's good that Samsung is listening to their customers. Great review, tks. Edit: My speaker doesn't sound bad at all, and the volume is sufficient.

Thanks for this review. I dropped my s10+ and to fix its screen was a similar cost to this A05s. It has its limits but I am happy with it. I may repair my s10 later as a spare.

[@SHAMII_2000]

S10+ 💀💀💀

[@lxy315lxy]

​@@windegochannel3591 Not true, in a few years from now all the midrange device will surpass the S10+ in terms of performance which is to be expected as the technology gets better each year

[@virtualTerrorist-ss6mf]

Hey Kevin. I bought the phone after this great review. Everything is spot on although after the android 14 update Graphics are capped to low when playing call of duty mobile. But the refresh rate is now adaptive. Thank you for straight to the point accurate reviews. Watching from south africa

[@HamzahMontana]

He is back. He is him.

[@Dirkvnh]

I couldn't help but notice you mention dark mode benefits battery life, but that only applies to OLED or mini LED displays. I believe plain white color actually draws less power on LCD. Therefore I'm curious to see the new A15, which is the first A10 series phone that will feature an OLED display.

[@OmegaZeroKiller]

Another good tech reviewer who puts effort and quality into his production. Keep up with the good work.

[@KevinRiazi]

Thank you! :)

Thank you for storage test. It means it have UFS 2.1 or UFS 2.2. A lot of sites says that it have eMMC type of storage. But it have much better - UFS 2.1-2.2

[@lukeali2213]

I just bought the galaxy A04s like a month ago and it's the best phone I've had (I'm a budget buyer) and I like the 50mp camera and 10x zoo on 12mp camera mode but no night mode unfortunately but I'd like a taste of a mid tier or flagship phone one day. This phone ao5s seems ok 👍

[@user-yt7eg3ez2p]

Splendid!

[@jackbladelive]

Even thought I have iphone 14 pro max but I bought this phone as a working office phone and I happy with it :)

[@krollpeter]

All important points made, all negatives mentioned, clear and concise explanations. Well done review! And guess what? I am going to buy it. For the money I can easily live with the minus points.

[@annepakiam8922]

Did you buy it and are you happy?

[@krollpeter]

@@annepakiam8922 I bought it and I am very satisfied. The screen is not the brightest, but it only "fails" in bright sunlight. Anywhere else it is alright. The battery life is good for me. Function-wise, it did not stutter, stumble or crash in the weeks since I have it. The phone's feel and build quality is not high level, but acceptable. It is sure adequate for the money. The device is simple and has what it needs for convenient usage. To my opinion it is the best mobile I could get at this price point at this time. I paid USD 135 for the 4 Gb. For comparison, my wife has a Nokia in the same price range. The screen is better and the device is sturdier, is better haptically feel. But the battery life is like 1 day only, and the SOC is slower. My own Xiaomi is technically better, but does not work as solid as the above two.

[@legelf]

buy atleast a midrange trust me, these budget phones will last you 6 months before making it nearly unusable, midrange nowadays beat some flagships and last many years and are supported for updates for many years aswell

[@krollpeter]

@@annepakiam8922 I bought it 2 months ago, I am happy with it. I don't game with the phone so it's all I need. The screen is nice, and for me not dark. I miss a few lux only in bright sun light. It does leave a positive impression with me after these two months. There is some junk on it but with few exception most can be removed. 4 years update guarantee in my country! Is that nothing? To me this device has a better value than all the low cost Xiaomis.
