Samsung Galaxy A06 full review

[@rijoenpial]

What never ceases to amaze me in what I consider the best and most professional tech reviewers in the world (GSMArena)is how they (YOU) review ALL segments of smartphones, entry, middle range, top, not just the top ones like most overestimated ones out there! Bravo, GSMArena! Keep up the public service, you're the only ones that can... and do! Bravo!

[@ToptanFiyatinaPerakendeSatis]

crazy how old ur account is

[@inpursuitofhappiness366]

Yes absolutely true. But I don't believe in any reviews. Just go to the store, test out with some artificial plant etc, experience it and buy Or get a used mobile, experience it enough to know if it's good

[@khalifa6413]

True

[@diwaalejandrogalvez796]

That's why the longevity of GSMArena is outstanding. Most tech influencers only review the highest-end phones, and will not be caught dead using a budget or even midrange device.

[@BillAnt]

Yep, there are few really good "A" series, notably the A54 with its perfect screen size of 6.4". I absolutely hate screens larger than 6.5, and this A06 is unfortunately a 6.7". Other than that it's a decent looking phone, nothing special.

[@simplygame5530]

Keep bringing these budget reviews!

[@vaultboy1419]

It has a 60Hz refresh rate and USB 2.0, just like an $800 iPhone 16. What's not to like?

[@WatchDogMan69]

@Thearith_9 bro read his comment again

[@pompanobeach1054]

I see what you did there 😉

[@Int37]

The SoC lacking behind compared to the other brands in entry level and midrange market

[@iILyica]

CPU performance is the difference my guy. A06 uses Helio G85 which is so ancient..

[@divyanshudevani2005]

Besides! It's Samasung. What's not to like?

Am prob gonna get one for my friend since he doesnt have a phone

[@muhammadhafizsyafilim2475]

​@@dotdnd i am thinking the same, have you got it? is it good?

[@dead_on_departure]

When the Galaxy A05 was released in my country last year, it was priced at the equivalent of about $100 for the 4/64GB variant. A few days ago the lowest price it sold for was $64. My advice is to wait for a price reduction especially during an online sale or when a new model is about to be released and the current one is still available for anyone to buy.

[@yowie1175]

I love that it has a headphone jack, microSD and side mounted fingerprint scanner

[@alienbsg]

Crazy they're already releasing next year's series smartphones

[@jon-jonguevarra72]

Next year will be Galaxy A36 and A56 5G with Galaxy AI enabled feature.

[@GameOver-nm2us]

@@jon-jonguevarra72 the A35 and A55 already got some AI touch to them

[@renofumi28]

​@GameOver-nm2us not much, tho but still useful.

[@fernandocaballero9830]

I've had one for a month and have zero complaints. The battery life is insanely good, I charged it once from the factory (it had 51% out of the box) and lasted me 14 days from 100% to 3%. Charged it with a standard Samsung 5v 3amp 15Watt charger that came with my Samsng Galaxy A03s and it charged from 3% to 100% in 2 hours and 33 minutes. It sounds notifications very, I can hear it from any part of my house, and the communications on it have no issues whatsoever. I use it as a communications device, not for multimedia or browsing, so it serves its function with flying colours. I predict I'll be using this phone at least for the following 8 years.

[@maaanyyuu]

Just a few years back these were flagship specs 😅

[@dasit6034]

720p? Maybe in 2012. I like budget phones but this is pretty bad, A05s has a better processor and screen.

[@SirbadgerREAL]

​@@dasit6034it doesn't have the s at the end so its more bad or cheaper

[@nemanjanemanjaa4551]

My FullHD Xperia XZ from 2016 begs to differ

[@SirUnknow]

[@GFourGadget]

For entry level devices I would recommend Motorola if you're in the States or other Chinese brands like Redmi or realme if you're outside of the States. They just provide much better specs for the same price!

[@ZiYuZhou-i6d]

Yeap

[@HamblangKnight]

+1

[@rijoenpial]

@@GFourGadget The advantage of buying Samsung is SUPPORT! I don't trust Redmi to keep support on their phones for as long as Samsung does so in the end, specs are important, but ease of repair AND software support trump all that for a regular person who buys budget smartphones like these!

[@ddddaaddaaaa]

But those brands only get 2 years of updates including security updates. The A06 comes with 4 years of security updates. Would be a better secondary phone in my opinion

[@rws91942]

​@@ddddaaddaaaa I will second that, most budget form users don't care a lot about specs. They want a phone that works and will last for several years. It would be easier for me to recommend competitors if they would just commit to provide you more security patches, for much longer. ( Even if they don't commit to updating the OS for more than a couple years just like this phone.)

[@yournamehere23435]

I wish you guys mentioned the fact that this is almost identical to last year's Galaxy A05.

[@wehbii5764]

A05 doesn't have a fingerprint scanner and a bigger camera notch

[@yournamehere23435]

@@wehbii5764 that's why it's almost identical. could you imagine if Samsung were to release the exact same phone on two different years?

Should rather get some old flagship to be secondary phone.

[@JorgieFilo]

​@@Vantud391 nah man, secondary phone should have a new battery etc , old flagships are getting run down as time goes on. New cheapos are good for spares or back up devices.imo

[@bryangonzalez4370]

Nah you trippin. This a 3rd world county type phone.

[@jackwilson5542]

Not really, just upgrade your old phone and keep it as secondary. I did so with my OnePlus Nord 3=>OnePlus Nord 4.

[@privacyhelp]

Apple copied the A06 rear design for the IP16 😅

[@romanherrmann5982]

Snapdragon 680, UFS 2.2, 6GB ram. Absolutely minimum for 2024.

[@adamkeith44]

For you mister

[@IDPCKonYouTube]

Considering some cheaper budget phones still have emmc 5.1, i think ufs is still not bad.

[@JorgieFilo]

Snapdragon 680 is horrible, I got the higher clocked one in the Redmi 12, 685 Snapdragon, needed a better gpu, these ancient helios perform better

[@ayushnair7545]

Really liking the impressive battery and power backup with helio G85 processor

[@aalennn1]

The A series doesn't support Knox security which many failed to notice. The A series is a good for a backup phone ,used it for navigation (google maps) and to listen to music and watch youtube ,screen time -7+hrs solid even without battery saver , even saw 3hrs movie . SOlid for basic activities..

[@Developer_X_77]

They do my A12 has Knox security with the knox vault and secure folder stuff

[@karlanthonymargate7362]

Had 2 A series. Both have knox

[@zerbutterftw]

i have an a06 and it has knox

[@TechnicalUsama]

They do support but it is at software level while the S series have hardware level knox security

[@alumlovescake]

You can a much MUCH better phone for not much more then this. It doesn't have to be some phone over 500 or something crazy, I understand not having money its not I do either but most people should probably pay a little bit more and then feel much more comfortable keeping that phone for a very long time what in the end would probably save you more.

[@alienbsg]

The A15 is only about $40 more and is much better than this one

[@BozQ]

I like that you point out that the storage is eMMC, and not UFS. I hope you will point out the UFS version, along with the RAM type in future reviews. Keep up the good work!

[@matthewgonano636]

Seems like a good phone. You can disable alot of slowing down animation effects in develooer options. That would speed up the phone a fair bit.

[@workwithbasit357]

Thanks bro you save my money ❤

[@DeeegerD]

You seem extremely critical. It's just a phone and phones shouldn't cost over a couple hundred. Loose a $1000 phone and you will soon realize its dumb to buy some overpriced high tech device that basically does the same thing.

[@mushroomtip6948]

Tbh it's a good budget phone I have no issues with it even in running high performance games people just like to downgrade phones that's not a s22 ultra and so on I own the 23 ultra also and the only difference is the s23 ultra does do everything faster but not by so much

If it's Samsung it's techie. It's a good phone for a 2 year software advance upgrade. The only reason why its cheaper is because of the storage.
