Samsung Galaxy A06 5G

Key Highlights

The Samsung Galaxy A06 5G aims to deliver a balanced experience in the budget segment, especially for users seeking a reliable daily-use smartphone under Rs 10,000. Featuring a large 6.7-inch HD+ PLS/IPS display, the device offers natural colors and a smooth refresh rate experience—90Hz in markets like Nepal and 60Hz in India. Although the bezels are slightly wide and the HD+ resolution lacks sharpness, the screen remains perfectly suitable for everyday browsing, video streaming, and social media use. Powering the Galaxy A06 is the MediaTek Helio G85 processor, paired with 4GB or 6GB RAM and up to 128GB of internal storage. This hardware configuration handles routine tasks comfortably, though it struggles with heavy apps and gaming. Still, its efficiency stands out. With a sizeable 5000mAh battery and 25W fast charging support, users can expect nearly two days of usage on a single charge—an impressive advantage for students and casual users. Camera performance is another strong point in daylight conditions. The 50MP main lens delivers decent clarity, while the 2MP depth sensor helps enhance portrait shots. The 8MP selfie camera sticks to a dated design but remains serviceable for video calls and social media. Video recording at 1080p up to 60fps ensures respectable results for content creators on a budget. Running Android 14 with One UI Core, the phone is promised two years of OS updates and four years of security patches, making it a dependable long-term option. Additional features include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, microSD support, WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.3, and USB-C connectivity. However, the absence of NFC and stereo speakers may disappoint some buyers. Offered in Light Blue, Black, Gold, and White, and priced starting at Rs 9,999 in India, the Samsung Galaxy A06 targets budget-conscious users who prioritize battery life, a large display, Samsung’s software reliability, and everyday performance over gaming or premium features.
