Hello everyone, been using this the A05 for a while and here's my review.
Pros
Powerful Battery - The A05 might have the strongest battery on any phone I've ever used and this is its biggest selling point imo. I'm a very heavy user and this phone still easily lasts me through the day on a single charge
Fast Charge - I use a 33w C-to-C adapter and it "super-fast" charges the phone from 0 to 100 in about 1hr & 20 mins
Camera - The camera is good. I didn't expect it to perform this well really
Cons
Incapable processor - My biggest problem with the phone. I got this phone after I lost my Redmi note 10 which used a Snapdragon 678 (the equivalent of the Mediatek G85 on this A05). I was expecting the performance to be on par but I was dead wrong. This chipset is whack even for a relatively "affordable" midrange device. Just a few apps open and the phone starts freezing. Performance is poor even under basic multitasking. And please don't say its a "cheap" phone. I've used midrangers a lot and this phones performance is POOR.
Speaker - The speaker on this phone is horrible. No sugarcoating it
NO SPLIT SCREEN- I found this feature extremely useful on my Redmi and I was gutted to find out its not on this phone. Big downer.
In conclusion, Samsung could have done a way better job with this phone especially with the performance. No charging brick, no fingerprint scanner and this is the best they could come up with? Come on. I wouldn't recommend this phone if you're looking to buy it. The redmi 13C is a wayyy better option.

Bought this unit last year when it is introduced. Last 2 months the screen is freezing a lot, but July patch seems to resolve the display issue. Decent performance for the price, just manage your expectations.

Got this for PHP 3400 ~ USD 58. Updated to OneUI 6.1 not the core version. Did factory reset twice after the update just to make sure everything is reset. Camera is good. Screen contrast is somewhat warm (yellowish). Touch response is somewhat slow only when scrolling. Disabled the fast charging option to see how long it takes to charge when the phone is OFF and it took 3hrs and 15mins from 0% to 100%.
