Let's talk about the SAMSUNG Galaxy A05 – a phone that proves you don't need to break the bank for decent tech. The mint green color? Absolutely gorgeous in person. It's like holding a piece of candy that happens to make calls.

The 6.7" screen is massive for this price range, though the HD+ resolution shows its limits when you're binge-watching videos. Text looks crisp enough for my grandma (who borrowed it for a week and refused to give it back), but don't expect flagship-level sharpness.

That 50MP main camera surprised me – daylight shots look Instagram-ready, though low-light performance is exactly what you'd expect from a budget phone (read: grainy). The 8MP selfie cam gets the job done if you're not trying to be the next TikTok star.

Battery life is where this phone shines. The 5000mAh battery lasted me through two days of moderate use – emails, some YouTube, and way too much scrolling. But fair warning: charging takes forever unless you've got a good fast charger (which isn't included, ugh).

The Helio G85 processor handles everyday tasks fine, but starts sweating when you ask too much of it. My PUBG sessions were... let's say 'cinematic' with all the lag. Perfect for social media and calls though.

Biggest gripe? Some users report band compatibility issues with certain carriers – definitely double-check before buying if network coverage matters to you.

Bottom line: For under $150, this is one of the best budget Androids I've tested. It won't replace your laptop or DSLR, but as a reliable daily driver? Absolutely worth every penny.
