It’s rare to see a phone using a Snapdragon 680 processor at under Php 10k, yet Samsung has made that possible with the Galaxy A05s in the Philippines. At under Php 8k, it’s very rare to see a Samsung device that’s competitive in the budget segment.
One of the key strengths of the Snapdragon 680 is its stellar power management. We have reviewed several phones using this processor, and great battery life is the common denominator among Snapdragon 680-powered devices. It may not be great for heavy gaming, but the Snapdragon 680 is a good processor for those who want a phone that can last them for more than a day.
As Samsung’s budget offering, the Galaxy A05s does get a 6.7-inch Full HD+ display with a 90hz refresh rate and a 5000mAh battery that supports 25w charging. Even if it is an entry-level Galaxy A variant, the A05s does get a 50-megapixel main shooter, making it a standard feature across the entire Galaxy A series.
Joining the Galaxy A05s is the more affordable Galaxy A05, which still retains the 50-megapixel camera and 25w charging and has a lower starting price of Php 5.7k for the 64GB variant. It gets an HD+ 60hz display, one less rear camera, and a Helio G85 processor, which also makes it a competitive budget offering from Samsung.
