Samsung Nigeria has officially released the highly anticipated Galaxy A05, setting a new standard for mid-range smartphones.

Packed with cutting-edge features and a sleek design, the Samsung Galaxy A05 aims to redefine user expectations in its class.

The Galaxy A05 boasts a vibrant 6.7-inch HD+ display, delivering stunning visuals with vivid colours and crisp details.

The device is powered by a robust Octa-core processor, ensuring smooth multitasking and efficient performance. The device comes in multiple storage configurations, including an expandable option, catering to users with diverse storage needs.

This combination allows Galaxy A05 users to capture moments with striking clarity and versatility. The front-facing camera, embedded within a subtle notch, enhances selfies and video calls, elevating the overall user experience.

One of the standout features of the Galaxy A05 is its long-lasting battery life. With a sizable battery capacity and optimized power management, users can confidently go through their day without worrying about running out of charge. Additionally, the device supports fast charging technology, providing a quick boost when needed.

Samsung has not only focused on performance but also on user convenience. The Galaxy A05 comes equipped with the latest One UI, offering an intuitive and streamlined user interface.

There’s no need to sacrifice camera quality when investing in a mid-range device like the Samsung Galaxy A05. It sports an outstanding 50mp main camera, expertly created to capture defined, detailed shots full of colour even in low light conditions.

Flaw Detection is another of Samsung’s on-board photography features, and a handy one at that. It automatically alerts you if the photo you’ve just taken has issues with blurring, backlighting or someone blinking – prompting you to snap another before the moment is over.

“We are thrilled to introduce the Galaxy A05 to our fans in Nigeria. This is a device that embodies our commitment to delivering innovative technology to a wider audience,” said Olaoluwa Olayers, Head of Retail for Mobile Division, Samsung Nigeria. “With its impressive display, powerful performance, and clear camera system, the Galaxy A05 sets a new benchmark for what users can expect from a mid-range smartphone.”

Speaking about device specifications, Stephen Okwara, Product Manager, said “Galaxy A05 with its amazing camera, colourful display, enhanced durability and facial recognition to name just a few of its best features, is certainly a device Android fans will love”.

In addressing the current economic situation, Chika Nnadozie – Head Of Marketing – Samsung Electronics West Africa, added that Samsung has provided a pay small small scheme called Flex Pay which affords consumers the opportunity to buy the device and pay in 3-12 months’ installment. And that is not all, customers can also repair their screens for as low as N9,000 twice within the limit of 2 years.”
