Samsung Galaxy A06 debuts with Android 14, 90Hz display and 25W charger for ~$130
The Galaxy A05 distinguished itself on its launch as the only smartphone of its generation with Samsung's up-to-date Key Island design with 2 rear cameras rather than 3 - now, it seems the exact same can be said of the Galaxy A06.
It also still has the same 50+2MP shooters behind those lenses, with an 8MP selfie camera set into a display also identical to that of the A05 - except that the refresh rate has finally been upgraded to 90Hz, compared to 60Hz in its successor.
Then again, the non-AMOLED panel is still driven by the MediaTek Helio G85 SoC and kept on with a 5,000mAh battery.
In fact, the easiest way to tell the Galaxy A05 and A06 apart is through the new, subtly pin-striped colorways of the latter, its One UI 6-based OS and the fact that the same device is only available on the Vietnamese market at the time of writing.
Samsung has priced it at 3,910,000 dong (VND, or ~$127) with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, or VND 3,790,000 (~$151) as a 6/128GB top-end SKU, with a free power brick to match its 25W top wired charging rate for a limited time.
Meanwhile, a 6/128GB Galaxy A05 costs $109 on Amazon today (August 16, 2024).
