  • “[...] I mean I bought this A05s because of the storage that has been advertised of 128GB... [...] with regards to its accessories I got the charging block whereas I thought it wouldn't be there. And the thing of this phone not being able to screen record. [...]”

  • “This my phone that I am using for now and I'm mentioning some things unmentioned. For a better phone, it's actually cheaper than its predecessor. [...] I also want to add that it takes forever to take a picture (I think, 5 seconds) when you turn flash on. [...] It has a 50 MP option when taking a picture and a non 50 MP (13 MP default). Sometimes, 50 MP rear cam produces an overexposed image when you're taking a photo outdoors. [...] No pre-installed screen protector.”
