Unboxing
The Galaxy A05s has a fairly minimal retail package deal. The field itself is nothing particular, only a two-piece slide-out affair made fully of cardboard, which we do respect from an eco perspective. The inside cardboard cradle that holds the telephone does its job fairly properly, which is necessary.
