A leather-finish Galaxy F05 smartphone is launched by Samsung on a budget

Samsung has expanded its Galaxy F-series lineup in India by introducing the new Galaxy F05, an affordable smartphone aimed at budget-conscious buyers. Priced at ₹7,999, the Galaxy F05 will be available starting September 20 on Samsung’s official website, through Flipkart, and at selected retail outlets across India.

The Galaxy F05 is powered by the MediaTek Helio G85 processor, providing users with reliable performance for everyday tasks. It sports a unique leather-pattern finish on the back, giving the phone a stylish and premium feel despite its budget price point.

Samsung Galaxy F05 is available in a single configuration, featuring 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The RAM can be virtually expanded to 8GB through Samsung’s RAM Plus feature, which converts unused storage space into additional memory to improve multitasking capabilities. Storage isn’t a concern either, as the device supports microSD cards, allowing expansion of up to 1TB. The phone comes in a sleek Twilight Blue color.

One of the standout features of the Galaxy F05 is its 50MP dual rear camera setup, headlined by a 50MP main sensor that promises sharp, clear photos. A 2MP depth sensor accompanies the primary camera for portrait shots, adding background blur for better focus on the subject. The handset has an 8MP front camera for taking selfies and making video calls.

On the front, the Galaxy F05 boasts a large 6.7-inch LCD screen with an HD+ resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate, ensuring a decent viewing experience for media consumption, web browsing, and gaming.

Under the hood, the Galaxy F05 is powered by a sizable 5000mAh battery that supports 25W fast charging. This ensures that the device has enough power to last throughout the day, even with heavy usage, and can be quickly recharged when needed.

The phone runs on Android 14 out of the box, and Samsung has committed to providing two major software updates along with up to four years of security updates, ensuring ensure the device lasts for a long time while being safe and current.

With its combination of a capable processor, ample storage, large display, powerful camera, and long-lasting battery, the Galaxy F05 is positioned as a strong contender in the budget smartphone market.
