It would've made sense, if you mentioned the A04 instead, because the chipsets are essentially the same under different brands.

The heavy UI they use also means it's guaranteed to lag in 3 months.

        Why does the intro read like a ad?

        Saying its "everything you need in a phone" is disingenous, considering it's as bottom-of-the-barrel you can get short of a phone loading up malware out of the box.

          I don’t get A05-06 when A15 cost nearly the same and it’s much better and A16 is around the corner.

                These low end processors should be banned. Bad user experience all-round.

                  TBH, It's clear which a 720p display is not enough for a rather big 6.7 inch phone. You can notice the picture of phone in which Texts are not clear enough.

                    Anonymous, 02 Sep 2024It is a sub-$150 phone, you can't get everything. By far the biggest issue with the A06 is the eMMC storage. You can ignore everything else problematic about this phone, but the fact it's not even using UFS 2.1 — a technology from 2017 — is ridiculous. eMMC is so slow that it's often slower than hard drives. Of course, because the Helio G85 doesn't support UFS 2.1 (!), that should also be replaced with something else.

                      Anonymous, 02 Sep 2024It is a sub-$150 phone, you can't get everything. Sure, but even an old Xiaomi Redmi 10 beats this in every possible spec, and that phone was the same price when it came out.

                              I thought the display was 90Hz.

                                "This is the Samsung Galaxy A06 and it has everything you'd ever need of a phone."

                                Also

                                "Upfront is a big 6.7-inch PLS LCD with a basic 720x1600px resolution and 60 Hz refresh rate. Inside, you get a 12nm MediaTek Helio G85 with 4 GB or 6 GB of RAM."

                                So, no it has nothing I would ever want in a phone, only 2 OS updates and eMMC 5.1 storage plus the rest of the specs are all awful even for this sort of price.

                                  there are better phones in this budget, unless u wanna show off the name "samsung" to your friends.

                                    This phone deserves GSMA "Stamp of budget".
