Samsung Galaxy M05 quietly introduced in India

We’ve been reporting about the Galaxy M05, Samsung’s new affordable Android smartphone, since last month. Earlier today, the Galaxy M05 went official in India, but before we go into details, it’s worth mentioning that this is the same phone as the Galaxy A05, and a decent upgrade over the Galaxy M04.

The first important upgrade over the Galaxy M04 is the slightly larger 6.7-inch PLS LCD display, which supports HD+ resolution and 60Hz refresh rate. In comparison, the Galaxy M04 comes with a smaller 6.5-inch PLS LCD display with HD+ resolution.

But the biggest upgrade is the MediaTek Helio G85 chipset, which is a much better piece of hardware than Galaxy M04’s MediaTek Helio P35. That said, the amount of memory remains the same, which is kind of disappointing. The Galaxy M05 comes with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage (expandable via microSD card).

On the back, the new Galaxy M05 features a dual camera setup that consists of 50-megapixel main and 2-megapixel depth sensors. This is another upgrade over the Galaxy M04, which features a 13MP + 2MP combo camera.
