Galaxy A05 SM-A055FZSGMEA Dual SIM Silver 4GB RAM 128GB 4G LTE Review – Middle East Version
Introduction
The Samsung Galaxy A05 SM-A055FZSGMEA (Middle East Version) arrived on my desk promising a budget-friendly smartphone experience with a large display and a decent battery. Over the past few weeks, I’ve put it through its paces, subjecting it to everyday tasks, demanding games, and rigorous testing. This review details my findings, both positive and negative.
Features
The Galaxy A05 boasts a sizable 6.7-inch HD+ display, which is immediately impressive at this price point. The screen is vibrant enough for everyday use and media consumption. While the resolution isn’t the highest, it’s perfectly adequate for most users. The phone’s sleek design, available in silver (as reviewed), black, and light green, is also quite pleasing. The build quality feels surprisingly sturdy considering its budget-friendly nature. The triple-camera setup on the back, consisting of a 50MP wide-angle lens and a 2MP depth sensor, is a welcome addition. The 8MP front-facing camera is suitable for video calls and casual selfies.

The Android operating system is clean and relatively bloatware-free, enhancing the overall user experience.
