Under the hood, the Galaxy A06 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, built on a 6nm process. It features 2 powerful Cortex-A76 cores running at 2.4GHz and 6 efficient Cortex-A55 cores at 2.0GHz. This chipset provides a notable upgrade compared to the Helio G85 SoC in the A05.
The device comes in multiple RAM and storage configurations: 4GB/64GB, 4GB/128GB, and 6GB/128 GB. Additionally, the storage is expandable via microSD, so you can add more space as needed. On the software side, the A06 5G runs Android 14 with Samsung’s One UI Core. The company has committed on providing two years of OS updates and four years of security patches as well. Moreover, the device is powered by a 5000mAh battery, capable of supporting 25W wired fast charging.
Camera and Connectivity
The Galaxy A06 5G features a dual-camera setup on the rear. The 50MP main camera (f/1.8, AF) can record Full HD videos at 30fps and supports a slow-motion mode (720p @ 120fps). Additionally, the rear camera setup is complemented by a 2MP depth sensor. On the front, you’ll find an 8MP camera (f/2.0) housed inside a notch.

Other than that, Samsung has introduced ‘Voice Focus’ in the smartphone that enhance call clarity in noisy environments.
A Good Deal?
This phone marks a notable leap for Samsung in the budget category. While it’s an exciting option for Samsung fans, the competition in this price range is powerful. On the options, we have Itel Color Pro 5G, Infinix Hot 50 5G, and Redmi 14C. However, if you prefer the Samsung brand, you can consider A06 5G.
