@@TechCityExplorer yeah that's why im telling it because it's my opinion. Dude I also use redmi and Infinix and that's my take on this.redmi is miles ahead compared to Tecno and Infinix and so you know the price difference between Redmi and Infinix or Tecno is almost the same.
@@jmd9547 Bro Infinix and Tecno are not one device.. they have different models. This video is for a Samsung Galaxy A05 and Redmi 12 is not in the same price bracket. Infinix and Tecno devices in the same price bracket as the Redmi 12 are very similar if not better. Take it or leave it .
all depends ! if your fortunate enough to have spoiled yourself with an I phone 26 then their crap ,but for myself upgrading from a absolutely battered Samsung galaxy A02 its the dogs bollox.
This is a nice review but at the glossy part i recommend the black than the white cause if you choose the white your fingerprints will be light brownish and in the photos your only using the 13mp mode not the 50 mp mode but otherwise its right
I did use both the 50mp and 13mp modes, I just didn’t specify but I have a short video coming soon on just the camera with more details. For the color a friend has the white and doesn’t seem to notice fingerprints or smudges so I think the black is worse off. Thank you for the feedback 🙏🏽
How many people do you think will buy this samsung ao5 compared to your so called competition which are of course tecno and infinix. This phone will last for a maximum of 4 years meaning many people will buy this over tecno or infinix which will not even get an os update.
🙂 Well the truth is people are smarter these days and so yes a lot of people don't pay for names anymore but rather want the best product their money can offer which of course are the Tecno and Infinix these days. 4 years of OS updates shouldn't be the only reason why you buy a phone especially if you are not an average user moreover how many people use a single device for more than two years these days? Making the two years of software and security updates offered by Tecno more than sufficient for them. In any case it is my job to tell you as it is and give you all possible options and the final decision lies in your hands after comparing all the facts. Thank you for engaging and I hope you have subscribed to the channel 💪🏼
@@TechCityExplorer you don't get my point do you.most people are average users and they don't buy Samsung because of the name.they buy it because of its durability, reliability, longevity of use and optimized hardware and software the same reason that many buy iphones even though it's expensive because they want to use it for a long time not just one or two years. Best product can offer? Are you for real? If you plan of using your phone for just a year then go ahead with Tecno or Infinix but value for money it's far from that.
@@jmd9547If you really think phones like that are made to last a year, that's cute. You can live with OS support being behind 3 years unless you care too much about security which can easily be avoided by not doing stupid things like downloading viruses. Also at this price range, even Samsung and Apple phone durability are of lower quality. I've broken 2 Samsung and 1 iPhone at this price range because it can't even survive drops and the rain. In the meantime, I'm using a Chinese phone righy now for the same price range and it's lasting me 5 years now even if it's using an older Android 10.
@@jmd9547People *do* buy it because of the name. Just as you are, apparently. Samsung phones aren't that reliable, nor are they that durable. People forget somehow they are responsible for one of the biggest product recalls in recent times. And even years on, their battery longevity is miserable. Short memories and low standards, I guess, eh? A bit of marketing is enough for people to forget flaws, just as long as they see something is popular. Also, don't delude yourself into thinking an A05 is lasting longer than a year. It's got barely enough to run at the time of release, much less any significant length into the future.
@@Cantripping you know the reason why people including me buy samsung smartphones? Because that name translates to quality,durability,optimization and longevity of use. Dude you bubbling about the past problems with Samsung phones which are not anymore relevant. I think you’re the one deluded here.
The Galaxy A05 is a pice of garbage. I have had it now for four months. After all of these years, with all of the technological advancements, why did they design a phone that's like a brick. Besides that the software is buggy as he'll. The screen is constantly locking, freezing, becomes unusable. I have to hit the power button to turn the screen off, then back on just so it becomes usable again. It's a vicious circle of pain. Also, what the he'll is Microsoft doing on here? Why is THAT not an option to delete. Bloody Microsoft?? Really? The he'll? Factory reset made a little difference. But after the updates it is back to being a bucket full of frustration. My note8 destroys this thing and that is a very, very old phone. And no asshole Microsoft. Based on the above, yeah , I strongly do not recommend you even look at this phone. Good for three year Olds only.
You are expecting too much.... This device is perfect for the price. I don't intend using it for a very long time but it is definitely not a bad phone as you are making it look. I am posting this comment with it by the way.
It's a crap phone not worth buying Mine is 3 weeks old and I have to rely on my old S7edge to receive messages and calls The A05 I have to press power button 20 or so times for the phone to wake up forcing SOS to make phone work It's a waste of 230$
I won’t say easy but with some force the screen would break so you have to be careful as with any other device. The body tho is made of plastic so should withstand some bad falls.
That is terrible, I haven't experienced or heard anyone else complaining of that. Sorry, maybe try a hard reset and also try updating your software and security updates
@@TechCityExplorer 😞 The shop I bought it from can't figure it out. And I opted for a digital receipt which is kept on my file. They lost it. Arrghh..Always get a paper receipt. It wasn't meant to be. So it's going to be 'Hammer time' soon'! haha
@@teenyson2939 oh no, that is terrible. Try both software and security updates and then a hard reset if that doesn't work. I will let you know what I find out.

Is there any redmi that is same price range and better
None I know about but you could get an Infinix or tecno
Redmi 12 is the best alternative to this compared to Tecno or Infinix dude.

Nice review Tech City, as usual.😊
Well they are in for some serious competition
I have the a05 and it is running smooth it has 6.1 ui and and android 14
Awesome, I'm glad to hear you are enjoying yours.
is battery life good? im planning to buy im gonna be only using basic features and for hotspot
@@meliodaslostvayne3002 battery life is great. Took me over a day after a full charge.
Yep I love this phone so much that I barely notice its negatives
@@meliodaslostvayne3002 yes the battery life is really good
The polycarbonate body on this phone is quite a nice feature, since pc is stronger than metal/glass
My Samsung A05 that I got 2 days ago comes with One UI version 6 and Android 14
Sweeeet.. Guess different regions with different specs.
Same i got 5 days ago and it come with Android 14

not worth buying

the A05 has gotten the Android 14 update I believe
I believe so, some people are getting theirs with Android 14.
