Lovely to see that you are enjoying your upgrade to the A05s and the connectivity with wired headphones that it offers, Nat! This model has a whopping 5000 mAh battery, which works hard to ensure that you get the most battery life possible. You can really count on this device! Please ensure that Touch sensitivity is turned off, as this setting will increase the sensitivity of the fingerprint sensor. You can do this in Settings > Display > Touch sensitivity. You can also turn on Accidental touch protection on this screen, which will stop your phone from reacting to accidental touches, if this is an issue. It can take a moment for the camera to process the image when taking it, leading to a short delay in the image being captured. We'd recommend resetting the camera settings to speed this process up, in the Camera app > Settings (cog icon) > Reset settings > Reset. We're certain that you will continue to have a superb experience with this phone for years to come! ^SK at Samsung Support

We are sad to hear you are not enjoying your A05s, Higgo! All of our phones are provided with a UBS-C cable, but newer devices do not have the charger plug which is to help us prevent e-waste as we found customers were reusing old plugs. If you were trying to register the standard 24-month warranty, this is done automatically when you purchase the phone, you do not need to register this. All user manuals for our phones can be found on our website via this link: https://spr.ly/6420sUc8k We would recommend speaking to our Support Team who are on hand to answer any questions you have, and they'll be happy to assist!

Thanks for taking the time to share your review, Maggie. We're unsure why your network provider has sent you a message advising that your phone doesn't work on 4G. We can confirm your Galaxy A05s is 4G ready. We're sad to hear that your phone is running quite slowly. This isn't what we'd expect to hear, but we'd love to get you up to speed with some troubleshooting steps. We'd initially recommended performing a soft reset, which will refresh the systems. To do this, simply press and hold the Side key and the Volume down key both at the same time, and keep holding for about 10 seconds. Ignore the power menu which may appear on your screen, and your phone will reboot. The following link contains more handy steps to follow: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/why-is-my-phone-slowing-down-and-how-can-i-speed-it-up/ We hope this information is helpful to you.

Thanks for taking the time to share your review, Imran! We'd love to advise you on the availability of NFC. The UK version of the Galaxy A05s does have NFC.
