Is my Samsung Galaxy A05 original?

Updated October 2026. Real specs from the sources below, and how to check a used Samsung Galaxy A05 in about 10 minutes.

Short answer: A real Samsung Galaxy A05 has the MediaTek Helio G85, 4 or 6 GB of RAM, 64 GB or 128 GB of storage, a 6.7-inch LCD screen (720 x 1600, up to 60 Hz) and a 5000 mAh battery. Its model code is SM-A055F, SM-A055M (and other SM-A055... versions). A copy can show the right name, but it cannot change the processor, the real storage or the screen.

How to check a used Samsung Galaxy A05

Read the model code. Open Settings, About phone, Model number. It must say SM-A055F, SM-A055M (and other SM-A055... versions). Copies often copy this name too, so this is only the first check.
Check the processor. It must be the MediaTek Helio G85. Copies run on a cheaper chip and sometimes rename it, so look at the number of cores and the graphics chip too. The Knowfone app does this for you and compares every part with this exact model.
Check the screen. The real Samsung Galaxy A05 has an LCD at 720 x 1600 pixels. Run the screen colour test for dots, lines and stains.
Prove the storage. Settings shows 64 GB or 128 GB on a real Samsung Galaxy A05. Copies can show any number; only writing data and reading it back proves the real size (how to check fake storage).
Check the battery. The real battery holds 5000 mAh when new. See how to check battery health.
Test the rest. Dial *#0*#: on many Galaxy phones it opens a test menu for the screen colours, touch grid, speaker, vibration and sensors (some versions block it). Samsung Members, Phone diagnostics, is the official alternative.

Knowfone checks a used Samsung Galaxy A05 against these exact specs in about 7 minutes: the processor, memory, storage, screen and cameras, then every other part, and answers: good to buy, buy only at a lower price, or don't buy. Free for Android.
