Samsung is diligently working to expand its entry-level smartphone repertoire with the oncoming Samsung Galaxy A05 and Galaxy A05s in the pipeline. These devices have garnered attention through recent Geekbench and Bluetooth SIG certifications, and they have now appeared on the NBTC under the model numbers SM-A055F and SM-A057F.
While specific details about the device's features remain scant, the appearance on NBTC hints at an impending launch in Thailand for both models. Earlier, the Bluetooth SIG listing confirmed the inclusion of Bluetooth 5.3, suggesting potential connectivity enhancements.
The model SM-A055F also signed on to WiFi-Alliance for certification. The document showcased Android 13 support with the device and, interestingly, a Dual-band WiFi kit sporting 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands.
Delving into the leaked benchmarks, the Galaxy A05, carrying the model number SM-A055M, appears to house a Helio G85 chipset. This chipset showcases an upgrade over its predecessor, the Helio P35. Samsung's new Budget model features a configuration of 2x Cortex A75 Cores (2.0GHz) and 6x A55 Cores (1.8GHz).
The accompanying Mali-G52 MC2 GPU provides improved graphics performance compared to the older A04. The Geekbench listing further hints at 4GB of RAM onboard, enhancing the device's base RAM configuration. Notably, the device is to run the full version of Android 13, a step up from the Go edition present in the Galaxy A04.
As more pieces of this puzzle fall into place, industry analysts predict that the Galaxy A05 and Galaxy A05s may grace the market's stage by the end of this month. The enhanced performance, upgraded specifications, and full Android 13 experience leave fans eagerly awaiting Samsung's next big unveiling.
