Very pleased. In amazing condition, hard to believe this is a reconditioned phone. I'm not in to tech at all and so cost was the major factor for me. Works great, charges well, camera good, speedy access to apps etc. All good. Thanks.

Almost no signs of wear. The body may have very light micro-scratches. For items with screens, the screen will have no scratches.

I bought this because I needed a phone for travel, and I thought the Galaxy A05 seemed like a low cost but high quality phone. The e phone arrived just 2 days after I purchased it, and based on the packaging and the appearance of the phone, anyone would think it was brand new. I was very impressed. The only downsides are A) the phone is a bit slow, especially when you first restart it. It’s not frustratingly slow though, so I manage. And B) The camera is a bit lower quality than I’d expected, but I am so pleased with Samsung (I’ve had iphones for the past 13 years!) and when I am ready for an upgrade I will surely purchase through Back Market again

The Samsung Galaxy A05 offers a straightforward smartphone experience for anyone who wants reliable basics without unnecessary fuss. Released in September 2023, the Galaxy A05 sticks to what's essential—clear visuals, a user-friendly interface, and handy camera options—making it one of Samsung’s refreshingly uncomplicated Android phones. Now two generations back from Samsung’s latest A-series models (as of 2025), it remains a solid pick for everyday use.

Key features:

Release Date: September 2023
Display: 6.7-inch PLS LCD, HD+ resolution (1600 x 720 px)
Processor: MediaTek Helio G85
Camera: Dual rear cameras: 50MP wide + 2MP depth sensor, plus a 8MP selfie camera
Operating System: Ships with Android 13
Connectivity: 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), Bluetooth 5.3, 3.5mm headphone jack
Build: Plastic body and frame, simple modern design

Who is this for?

The Galaxy A05 is best for those who need a straightforward device for tasks like messaging, calls, social media, and occasional photos—think students, first-time smartphone owners, or anyone whose main requirement is reliability over razzle-dazzle. Compared to newer A-series phones, the A05 keeps things practical by focusing on what’s truly needed, rather than chasing the latest trends or features you may never use.

Pros & Cons:

Pros	Cons
Large, easy-to-read display for browsing and streaming.	HD+ resolution only—not as sharp as FHD+ panels on pricier models.
Simple software for straightforward day-to-day use.	No NFC, so contactless payments are a no-go.
Good main camera in daylight for quick snaps.	Basic design—no water or dust resistance rating, and all-plastic build.
Classic features like a headphone jack are still here (finally, something that hasn’t vanished).	Only 4G—so no ultra-fast 5G downloads here.

Why refurbished?

Choosing a refurbished Galaxy A05 means making an eco-conscious choice—keeping perfectly good tech in circulation and reducing e-waste with every purchase. Every pre-owned device from Back Market undergoes thorough testing and inspection to meet strict quality standards, so you can trust what you’re getting is dependable.
