Samsung Galaxy A06 5G (128GB / 4GB RAM)

The Samsung Galaxy A06 5G has a non-folding, non-rugged form factor measuring 167.3 mm tall, 77.3 mm wide, and 8 mm thick, with a total volume of approximately 103.46 cm³ and a weight of 191 g. It carries an IP54 rating, meaning it offers a practical level of protection against dust ingress and water splashes, though it is not designed to withstand full submersion.

The device features a 6.7″ LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 720 x 1600 px and a pixel density of 262 ppi, paired with a 90Hz refresh rate for moderately smooth on-screen motion. The panel does not support HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision, and there is no Always-On Display mode or secondary screen. Branded damage-resistant glass is also absent from this display.

The device is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300, a 6nm octa-core chipset running two performance cores at 2.4 GHz and six efficiency cores at 2.0 GHz, supported by 4GB of DDR4 RAM at 2133 MHz and 128GB of internal storage. The SoC uses big.LITTLE architecture with Heterogeneous Multi-Processing (HMP) and multithreading across 8 threads, while graphics are handled by an integrated Arm Mali-G57 MC2 GPU clocked at 950 MHz with DirectX 12 support. Maximum memory bandwidth reaches 17.07 GB/s, and the chip supports up to 12GB of RAM in total. In benchmarks, the chipset scores 420,394 on AnTuTu and achieves Geekbench 6 results of 782 single-core and 2,012 multi-core, with the cache hierarchy consisting of 512KB L1, 1MB L2, and 2MB L3. Integrated LTE and 64-bit support are also built into the SoC.

The main camera system is a dual-lens setup with 50MP and 2MP sensors, featuring apertures of f/1.8 and f/2.4 respectively, and a CMOS sensor without back-side illumination. Autofocus options include phase-detection and touch autofocus as well as continuous autofocus during video recording, though laser autofocus is not present. The camera supports a range of manual controls including exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, but manual shutter speed and RAW capture are not available. Video recording tops out at 1080p at 30fps with slow-motion support, while HDR10 and Dolby Vision recording are both absent. A single LED flash is included, with no dual-tone or RGB flash, and in-camera panoramas are supported while 360° panorama shooting is not. The 8MP front camera has an aperture of f/2.0 and is a single-lens unit with no front-facing flash and is not positioned under the display.

The device runs Android 15 and includes a broad set of privacy controls, covering location access, camera and microphone permissions, clipboard warnings, and app tracking prevention, though cross-site tracking blocking and Mail Privacy Protection are not featured. On the customization side, it supports dynamic and manual theme customization, dark mode, an extra dim mode, widgets, and customizable notifications, while focus modes and Quick Start are absent. Productivity features include split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, a media picker, sharing intents, the ability to play games while they download, and app offloading. The OS also supports multi-user accounts, a child lock, on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, voice commands, and device position tracking. OS updates are not delivered directly from the vendor, and the device cannot be used as a PC. Wi-Fi password sharing is likewise not supported.

The device is equipped with a 5000 mAh rechargeable, non-removable battery that supports 25W fast charging, and a charger is included in the box. Wireless charging is not available. A battery level indicator is built in, making it straightforward to keep track of remaining charge.

On the audio side, the device includes a 3.5mm headphone jack and a built-in radio, but relies on a single speaker rather than a stereo setup. None of the advanced Bluetooth audio codecs — aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC — are supported.

The device supports 5G connectivity alongside Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), and accommodates two SIM cards with a maximum download speed of 3300 Mbit/s. Bluetooth 5.3 and a USB Type-C port (USB 2.0) are included, and an external memory slot allows for storage expansion. Navigation is covered by GPS, Galileo, and a compass, while an accelerometer is also present. However, NFC, a gyroscope, barometer, infrared sensor, heart rate monitor, and HDMI output are all absent, and there is no ANT+ support. Security relies on a fingerprint scanner, as 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are not featured. Crash detection, emergency SOS via satellite, DLNA certification, motion or optical tracking, a stylus, and a built-in projector are likewise not part of the feature set.

The device includes a video light for use during video recording, while the display is flat rather than curved and uses neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel.
