Samsung Galaxy A05s 6.7" 64GB/4GB VF - Black

The phone has all basics and is easy enough to use, but will be swapping to an alternative as the camera has a delay when taking the photo. If you can trial it in store I recommend that you do. When you press the button to take the photo, it will take the shot three seconds later. People/ have moved by the time the photo has been taken. Very frustrating!Furthermore, also had issues with Google maps a week into using it. It was freezing and I was unable to get out of the maps and other times it hasn't allowed me to type in a destination (keypad/board) doesn't come up.Super frustrating and a waste of money.Haven't spoken to JB Hifi about the issue as of yet, but will be interested to see what they say about it.If photos and Google maps are not important to ... MoreThe phone has all basics and is easy enough to use, but will be swapping to an alternative as the camera has a delay when taking the photo.

I bought this phone about 3 weeks ago and while I initially thought it was a great phone I have come to be more than dissapointed. Upon researching the phone specs, there is no noticeable mention of the missing NFC technology. Who creates a phone in todays almost cashless society without the ability to leave the wallet and card behind and still make purchases.I loved the idea of the high quality camera with great megapixel specs. However, the phone only produces dull and dreary images, despite the lighting. What use is a high megapixel camera that cannot capture even close to the correct colours and contrast.I've been a long term Samsung lover, but this time I'm annoyed that I wasted money on this sub par smart phone.

Poor. For a start, the A05S does not even come with a charger cable. When switched on the new user is inundated with loads of apps - most of which I didn’t need or want. When using the search app, unlike my previous Samsung phone, you are subjected to loads of very annoying “trending” suggestions and I am yet to discover how to get rid of them (even if it’s possible). I can’t even find out how to set spell checker rather than prescriptive text. When I tried to register the phone for warranty purposes it was a real rigmarole and then kept refusing to recognise the serial number. After a wasted couple of hours I managed to find a phone number for Samsung CS who told me it wasn’t necessary - just hang on to the purchase receipt! (the quality of the sound on their phone ... MorePoor. For a start, the A05S does not even come with a charger cable.

(the quality of the sound on their phone left much to be desired - it sounded as if the rep was talking in a tunnel (so much for Samsung phones). The phone comes with basic set up instructions and no user manual (I am yet to find one online). I thoroughly regret the day when I bought the phone - my advice is don’t buy one and get a different make.
