Samsung A05s.

[Pipster61]

Help required. I have just purchased the A05s as a backup phone whilst my Fold 4 is in for repair. I have 2 questions, my phone does NOT have NFC or WIRELESS CHARGING, yet the specs from numerous sites including Samsung say it does.

Why is this so? 

It also says its REGULATORY INFORMATION is from SAUDI ARABIA. 

Does this mean ifs not a genuine UK sold Samsung phone? 

I don't understand this. 

Please advise. 

Regards

I so understand goes what you say about that

Sounds like the phone you have was made for the Saudi Arabia region.

Works fine here, but just not doing what the spec says..
My wife's flip 5 doesn't show the REGULATORY INFORMATION tab, but so just wondering

@Pipster61  NFC is region dependent , the uk version does have NFC  but unfortunately seems not your version. where did you purchase?

A phone shop in Sheffield uk

definitely dodgy, no offence but i wouldn't trust a "phone shop". always purchase from a trusted retailer Eg argos, amazon etc.
No A series devices support wireless charging, (as far as my knowledge expands).
NFC is region locked as mentioned, so it's likely your device is not UK based.
Would you mind sharing your model name found in about phone in settings?
This is the UK model number:

Yea looks like your device was purchased from Qatar, So that's why it won't work.
