All good things come in threes: Samsung Galaxy F05 is official… again (somehow)

All good things come in threes: Samsung Galaxy F05 is official… again (somehow)

Samsung has been very active in India over the past few weeks and according to recent leaks, the company will continue to launch a ton of new devices until the end of the year.

The new phone that Samsung India has launched is the Galaxy F05. Although the phone looks a bit different, it has the same specifications as the Galaxy A05 and Galaxy M05.

Basically, this means that Samsung has launched the same phone three times. This isn’t really a surprise, as many mobile phone manufacturers launch the same phone under different names in different markets. Sometimes the phones aren’t really 100 percent the same, but they have so much in common that it’s hard to tell them apart.

The Galaxy F05 is a slight exception as Samsung launched the Galaxy M05 in India just a week ago, which could be very confusing for customers who are not used to these marketing policies.
