Amid flagship launches and upcoming Fan Edition devices, the Galaxy A05 is poised to become one of Samsung's most affordable phones in its lineup. The A05 could hit the shelves later this year, assuming that Samsung has a 12-month release schedule in mind. Its predecessor, the Galaxy A04, debuted in October 2022.
In addition to the Galaxy A05, which we recently saw in the flesh through a couple of live photos published by the Brazilian National Telecommunications Agency, Samsung is also said to be working on a Galaxy A05s variant.
Live photos of the Galaxy A05s don't exist on the web yet, but a new series of renders (via MySmartPrice) is attempting to paint a clearer picture of the phone's design from several angles.
The renders at hand are not official. They don't come from Samsung, but presumably, they were created using leaked data and dimensions. In theory, they should reflect the official design as closely as possible.

Galaxy A05s to boast three rear-facing cameras
For the most part, the Galaxy A05s, as seen in these renders, looks very similar to the Galaxy A05 from the live photos spotted in August. Both phones have flat back panels, thick lower bezels, Infinity-U cutouts for the selfie camera, and a striped paint finish.
The one big difference between the two phones is that the Galaxy A05 has dual rear-facing cameras, whereas the Galaxy A05s presumably has three. It makes sense, given that the same discrepancy set apart the Galaxy A04 and Galaxy A04s last year.
Exactly when the Galaxy A05 and A05s will go on sale is unclear, but as counter-intuitive as it may be, the Galaxy A04s went on sale earlier than the Galaxy A04 did last year. Samsung might have a similar plan in mind for the A05 series, but we'll have to wait and see.
The Galaxy A05s supposedly has a 6.6-inch display and measures 167.9 x 77.7 x 8.8mm. It might be powered by a 4,000mAh battery with 25W charging capabilities and has a 3.5mm headphone port.
