Samsung Galaxy F05 announced, a variant of the M05 and A05

A few days ago, Samsung India unveiled the Galaxy M05, which was basically a re-release of the Galaxy A05. Now the company has introduced the Galaxy F05, which looks different on the outside, but isn’t on the inside.

The phone’s claim to fame is the leather pattern on the back. As far as we can tell, there is only one colorway available right now, Twilight Blue.

While we’re looking at the back, we should note the 50MP camera with an f/1.8 aperture. It can record 1080p video at up to 60fps. Next to it is a 2MP depth sensor. Going around the front, there is an 8MP camera. In short, this is the same setup as on the A05 and M05.

Now that we’re looking at the front, we see the 6.7” PLS LCD with HD+ resolution (720 x 1,600px). It runs at 60Hz. The phone comes with Android 14 out of the box and Samsung promises 2 OS upgrades.

The Galaxy F05, like its siblings, is powered by the now quite old Helio G85 chipset. It is paired with 4GB of RAM (which can be doubled with virtual RAM) and 64GB storage, which is expandable via microSD thanks to a dedicated slot. And as the image above points out, there is a 3.5mm headphone jack too.

The phone has a 5,000mAh battery inside and supports 25W charging. You’ll have to supply your own charger, though, as the phone only ships with a USB C-to-C cable and a SIM ejector tool. The USB-C port is v2.0, additional connectivity includes Wi-Fi 5 (ac) and Bluetooth 5.3. There’s no NFC or infrared, but FM radio is available (with a recording option). In case it wasn’t clear, this is a 4G only phone.

The Samsung Galaxy F05 will go on sale on September 20. It will be available through retail stores, Samsung.com and Flipkart. The MSRP is ₹10,000, but will launch with a discount so the starting price will be ₹8,000.
