                        I love Samsung A6! I don't have any problem using it. It has long battery life and the camera is the best. It's not lagging also don't have problem playing games on this phone, never over heat yet while playing games. I download many apps too. The price really worth it.. I don't know why others feel triggered with the Samsung brand's price. Thank you for this Smartphone i enjoy using it.

                                  When I was still deciding which unit to get given my budget and research, it was whether to choose Huawei or Samsung. I decided to go with Samsung, in particular Samsung A6 (2018).

                                  A6 has a great design and size for my purpose (mainly for calls and emails, no games at all).

                                  Comparable Huawei units at the price of Samsung A6 (which is about USD 271 as of July 2018 for the 32GB variant in the Philippines) for me just don't feel right. My personal preference is that -- should be around 5.5" in screen size, should not indicate brand name at the front, and finger sensor should be at the back. At the mid-range level, this is not possible with Huawei.

                                  -------------------------------------------------
                                  On to Samsung A6, I noticed that it feels slower than my old Huawei GR3 2017 (AKA P8 Lite) which for me has a snappier UI. I just addressed this in my A6 by doing the following steps including among others:

                                  - removing/ disabling Samsung bloatware
                                  - removing widgets at the home page (I think this consumes some memory and battery power)
                                  - minimising the fading effects in transitions by turning on the Developer Options in the Settings, and setting the "Window animation scale" and "Transition animation scale" to 0.5x

                                  After the above (among other streamlining steps), my Samsung A6 now feels snappier/ faster. Nonetheless, I still prefer the Huawei UI in general.
