Verdict on the Samsung Galaxy A06: Great value for money

Samsung has launched another model in its successful A series, the Galaxy A06, which is intended to impress above all with its price-performance ratio. For just under $150, the phone offers solid features that are sufficient for budget users in everyday life. The battery life and brightness of the 6.7-inch display are particularly impressive, while performance on more demanding apps and camera quality in low light still offer room for improvement.

The Galaxy A06 features a plastic housing that is robust and comfortable to hold. Despite its low price, it has a fingerprint sensor and a screen with a brightness of up to 500 cd/m², which makes for easy reading, even in direct sunlight. Another plus is the absence of PWM flickering, making the display more comfortable for sensitive eyes.

While the device's performance is sufficient for basic applications such as telephony, messaging and browsing, it quickly reaches its limits when it comes to graphics-intensive applications or games.

The battery life is particularly noteworthy. Housing a 5000 mAh battery, the smartphone lasts a day in everyday use. Samsung also sets a positive example with software updates by promising four years of support for the Galaxy A06.

However, there is some criticism of the camera, which struggles in low light and exhibits slow autofocus settings for moving subjects. The display resolution of only 1600 × 720 may also be insufficient for some users; there are better alternatives in this price range.

Overall, the Galaxy A06 costs very little if you're looking for a reliable smartphone for everyday use. Those who want to learn more about the Samsung Galaxy A06 are advised to read our in-depth review with its numerous detailed results and final rating.
