In March 1403, Samsung unveiled the 5G version of the Galaxy A06 and its 4G version was introduced in November 1403. The difference between the two versions of the Samsung phones is summarized in the type of processor, software support and 5G network support, and in other parts they are no different.

The Galaxy A06 is a cheap handset with basic specifications and, of course, some good features. It uses good design, but as expected from a cheap handset, it doesn’t have a high build quality. The phone’s display in this price range can be satisfying and you should not expect much processor and hardware specifications.

The Galaxy A06 comes in dark blue, white and gold. Join us now to look at the different parts of the phone, to see what benefits and disadvantages the Galaxy A06 has and how much it is worth buying. But before that we invite you to see the cheap Samsung phone video review and its specifications.

Technical specifications

Design

The Galaxy A06 has not made significant progress in the design sector. Despite its cheap price, the handset uses modern and beautiful design. In the back panel, we see a road texture that, in addition to creating an attractive visual view, attracts fewer spots and dirt.

The Galaxy A 06 dimensions are smaller than last year’s model and its thickness is reduced. However, because of the large 6.7 -inch display, the Galaxy A06 is still a big handset, so it’s probably difficult for you to work with one hand. The back panel and frame of the phone are made of plastic that are not really high quality, but for a phone in this price range, it is natural. Of course, due to the body being plastic, the handset is lightweight and with 189 grams, it is one of the lightweight phones on the market.

In front of the phone we see a large display with relatively large margins around it. The margins around the screen, however, are slightly lower than the previous generation. At the top of the screen we see a drop of a drop that is inside the selfie camera.

On the right edge of the phone, we see the sound adjustment button and the power button, and the fingerprint detection sensor is integrated with the power button. The part with the sound and power adjustment buttons is slightly up to the other side edges. The SIM card slot is located on the left edge and the USB Type C port, 3.5mm headphone jack, microphone and speaker are at the bottom edge of the device. Finally, we reach the upper edge of the phone where the secondary microphone is present. In the back panel, the main camera and depth detection sensor are vertically located at the top left of the panel.

Screen

Samsung’s phones are famous for having a high quality display; But is the same applies to the Galaxy A06? The Galaxy A 06 display has not changed from the previous generation. The handset uses a large 6.7 -inch LCD Pls, which uses a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels and a pixel density of 262 pixels per inch. The image renovation or refresh rate is limited to 60 Hz and there is no display shield on the screen.

This display has no significant brightness and reaches about 300 nits, which makes you difficult to see under the sun’s light to view the content displayed on the display. The pixel density of 262ppi is not enough, but you should not forget that we are facing a cheap and economical phone.

Overall it is better not to get too hard; The Galaxy A06, as a cheap handset, is of good quality and shows good color and accuracy.

Battery

The presence of a large, high -end battery is one of the main benefits of the Galaxy A 06. It is equipped with a 5000 mAh battery that can accompany you for up to two days if you use lightweight, and if you have heavier use you can expect a day of charging.

The Galaxy A06 supports a 25 -watt fast charging and, like other Samsung phones, there will be no in -box charger and you have to get it separately. Using a 25 -watt charger, you can charge up to 50 % of the battery capacity within 30 minutes. The full charge of the 5000 mAh battery also takes about an hour and a half. Also, do not expect wireless charging or reverse charging in this cheap handset.

Operating system and interface

The Samsung economical handset runs by default based on Android 14 operating system and Vanu UI 6.1 interface. Of course, this phone is running a lighter version of the One UI interface, and apparently some extra features have been deleted to provide a smoother experience. However, the phone’s interface is very clean, smooth and beautiful, and you don’t see any additional ads. Even some unnecessary default apps have been removed from the phone.

According to Samsung, the Galaxy A06 will receive a 4G version for up to two years of the original operating system update and up to four years of security updates. One of the differences between the 4G and 5G version is here. Because the 5G version, introduced in March 1403, is equipped with the Android 15 operating system and the Vanu UI 7 interface, receiving up to four main upgrades of the operating system and up to six years of security updates, which is a great software support for a cheap and economical handset.

Hardware

The main difference between the 4G and 5G versions is its hardware. The 4G version is equipped with the MediaTek Helio G85 chip, which is exactly the chipset used in the Galaxy A05. The twelve nanometer chip uses an 8-core processor including two-core 2-GHz Cortex-A75 and six 1.8 GHz Cortex-A55 and Mali-G52 MC2 graphics processor.

The Helio G85 chipset offers a low -end performance, and you may even slow down and slow down even when you rotate in the interface and light and daily processing. So it is best not to count on this phone for mobile games and only lighter games are running on the phone. Of course, some heavier games, such as Caal Diot Mobile, can also play with Low Graphic settings.

On the other hand, the 5G version is equipped with the MediaTek DieMS 6300 chip, which we have seen on many economical phones on the market. This chip is also one of the market lower and does not perform powerful performance; However, it still works a little better than the Helio G85 and adds 5G network support.

The Galaxy A06 has 4 or 6 GB of LPDDR4X and 64 or 128 GB of EMMC 5.1 internal storage. It is also possible to upgrade the storage space by the microSD memory card. Fortunately, you can use two nano SIM cards and one memory card at the same time. There is no news about stereo speakers, and there is only one single speaker at the bottom edge of the device that plays an acceptable sound and is suitable for watching the video. There is also a 3.5mm headphone jack and you can easily connect your wired headphones to the phone.

Camera

Galaxy A06 doesn’t have many cameras; A main camera on the back and a selfie front. The main camera is a 50 -megapixel f/1.8 aperture, a 1.76 -inch sensor size, 0.64 micrometer pixel size and phase detection or PDAF autofocus. A 2 -megapixel depth detection sensor accompanies the F/2.4 aperture to help capture portrait photos, and a LED flash is next to them. The main camera is capable of shooting at 1080p at 30 or 60 frames per second.

At the front of the phone is an 8 -megapixel widespread selfie camera with a f/2.0 aperture, a 4.0 -inch sensor size, and a pixel size of 1.12 micrometers inside a nucleus at the top of the screen.

The 50 -megapixel main camera can capture good photos in the right light. Fortunately, there is also autofocus and helps create better photos. By default, your photos will be captured with a resolution of 12 megapixels, but you can also shoot at a maximum 50 -megapixel resolution that gives you more details.

This 50 -megapixel camera offers a ten -fold zoom, which is not of high quality. There are other modes for photography such as Pro mode, panoramic and night mode. There is also a 2 -megapixel depth detection sensor next to the main camera that does not shoot alone and comes with the main camera to capture portrait photos. Portrait photos are of good quality, and the subject is separated from the background and the bokeh effect is almost well done.

Photography with the Galaxy E 06’s main camera at night and in low environments doesn’t make you very excited. There are not much detail in these photos, and sometimes we see a lot of noise in the images. Using the night mode improves the situation slightly, but still the quality of these photos is not very satisfactory.

The main camera of the Galaxy A06 can shoot at 1080p at 30 and 60 frames per second. Unfortunately, there is no shake -up filming mode, so when recording the video you need to be careful about your hand shakes.

The selfie camera also uses an 8 -megapixel lens that shows good quality. This camera is not a focus of autofocus and you have to keep the camera distance with your face well so that you can capture good photos. However, these photos use good clarity and detail, and in selfie portrait photos, bokeh effects and the subject separation from the background are well done.

Conclusion

The Samsung Galaxy A06 is a cheap handset that has been manufactured and supplied to meet minimal needs. Currently, the handset is priced at around $ 7.5 million in the Iranian market, with competitors like the Samsung Galaxy A15 and the Poko M5S.

If you are looking for a cheap handset with good features like a high -powered battery and a large display, the Galaxy A 06 can be a good choice for you. This phone is a reasonable choice for older people or your children who do not need an advanced phone and the restrictions do not cause any problems; But if you have heavier and more professional use of your phone, you might not expect too much of the Galaxy A06.
