The verdict, up front

The cheapest Galaxy, online only.

Galaxy F05 is the M05 with a Flipkart badge and a cost-cut to a 60 Hz panel — Samsung's absolute floor, sold to brand-loyal first buyers who want the logo and four years of patches. Everything about it is dictated by the ~$90 price; on those terms it is exactly what it claims.
