Galaxy A05s Dual SIM Black 4GB RAM 64GB 4G LTE (SM-A057FZKGMEA / SM-A057FZKDMEA) Review – Middle East Version
The Samsung Galaxy A05s (SM-A057FZKGMEA / SM-A057FZKDMEA) Middle East version arrived on my desk a few weeks ago, promising a blend of affordability and decent features. I’ve been putting it through its paces, from everyday tasks to more demanding activities, to see if it lives up to the hype. This review will delve into my experience with this budget-friendly smartphone.
The Galaxy A05s boasts a 6.7-inch FHD+ display, offering vibrant colors and sharp detail. The 90Hz refresh rate makes scrolling and gaming smoother than many phones in its price range. The quad-camera setup includes a 50MP main lens, a 2MP macro lens, and a 2MP depth sensor. While not flagship-level, the camera performs admirably in good lighting conditions. The 5000mAh battery is a significant plus, easily lasting a full day even with heavy usage. The Snapdragon 680 processor, coupled with 4GB of RAM, provides sufficient power for everyday tasks and light gaming.

In terms of performance, the Snapdragon 680 handles everyday tasks with ease. Browsing, messaging, and using social media apps are all smooth and responsive. While it’s not ideal for intense gaming, casual games run without significant lag. The 90Hz refresh rate contributes significantly to a more fluid user experience compared to standard 60Hz displays. Battery life exceeded my expectations; consistently lasting well over a day on a single charge. Charging is reasonably quick with the 25W fast charging support.
Camera performance is a mixed bag. In good lighting, the 50MP main camera produces decent photos with good detail and color accuracy. Low-light performance is average, as expected in a phone at this price point. The macro and depth sensors are functional but not particularly impressive.

- Excellent battery life
- Smooth performance for everyday tasks
- Affordable price
- Decent main camera in good lighting
Cons

Overall, the Samsung Galaxy A05s (SM-A057FZKGMEA / SM-A057FZKDMEA) offers impressive value for its price. The long battery life, smooth performance, and vibrant display are standout features. While the camera isn’t perfect and heavy gaming might push its limits, for everyday use and casual mobile photography, it’s a solid choice. I’d happily recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and affordable smartphone.
