Samsung‘s budget-friendly smartphone Galaxy M05 is expected to be launched sometime in early September. In the latest news, the support page for a Samsung device with model mane SM-M055F/DS was spotted live in India. The ‘DS’ suggests that the phone will likely come with dual-SIM card support.

While the support page doesn’t reveal any details about the Galaxy M05, it at least hints at an imminent launch of the device.

To recall, the launch timeline of the lineup has been a bit inconsistent so far. The Galaxy M04 (predecessor) was launched back in December 2022, while there doesn’t even exist a Galaxy M03. The Galaxy M02 was launched back in 2021, which succeeds the Galaxy M01 launched in 2020. Nonetheless, the model number on the support page suggests that there will be a Galaxy M05, which should release soon.

Notably, the phone has also previously appeared on the Wi-Fi Alliance certification website and India’s BIS certification website, indicating the device’s existence and suggesting an imminent launch. According to the WiFi Alliance certification listing, the phone will support dual-band WiFi, which is going to be an upgrade as compared to its predecessor. Based on the company’s track record, we can expect the specifications to be similar to the already released Galaxy A05.

Galaxy A05 specifications:

The phone packs a 6.7″ PLS LCD display with an water drop notch for the 8 MP front camera. On the back there is a 50 MP + 2 MP dual-camera system.

In terms of build and design, the phone offers a slightly curved plastic middle frame with sharp edges (which looks good) and a plastic back panel.

In terms of performance, the device is equipped with a MediaTek Helio G85 (12 nm) chip and eMMC 5.1 storage. It features a 5,000 mAh battery with 25W charging support, measures 8.8mm in thickness, and weighs 195g.

Recent activity at the Wi-Fi Alliance suggests Samsung is prepping two new entry-level smartphones – the Galaxy F05 and Galaxy M05. These phones would join the existing Galaxy A05 and A05s launched in 2023.

The Wi-Fi Alliance certification listing confirms that both the F05 and M05 will support dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity. This is the only technical detail revealed so far. The certification process typically precedes a phone’s official launch, so the appearance of these models suggests an imminent release.

The model numbers for the F05 and M05 are SM-E055F/DS and SM-M055F/DS respectively. The “DS” suffix denotes dual-SIM card functionality, allowing users to have two active lines on the same device.

Beyond Wi-Fi and dual-SIM support, specifics about the F05 and M05 remain unknown. However, based on Samsung’s usual strategy, it’s likely these phones will share similar specifications with the Galaxy A05. So let’s take a quick look at it.
