The Samsung Galaxy A06 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300, a 6 nm octa-core chipset running two cores at 2.4 GHz and six at 2.0 GHz across 8 threads, with support for big.LITTLE technology and Heterogeneous Multi-Processing (HMP) for efficient workload distribution. It comes with 6 GB of LPDDR4 RAM at 2133 MHz — expandable up to a maximum of 12 GB — and 128 GB of internal storage, while the Arm Mali-G57 MC2 GPU clocks at 950 MHz and supports DirectX 12. The chipset includes integrated LTE and integrated graphics, a maximum memory bandwidth of 17.07 GB/s, and a cache hierarchy of 512 KB L1, 1 MB L2, and 2 MB L3. In benchmarks, the device scores 782 in Geekbench 6 single-core, 2012 in multi-core, and 420,394 on AnTuTu, with full 64-bit and multithreading support rounding out the platform.

The Samsung Galaxy A06 5G features a dual-lens rear camera system with a 50 MP primary sensor at f/1.8 and a 2 MP secondary sensor at f/2.4, both using 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 absent, and there is no optical image stabilization or optical zoom. The main camera supports 1080p video at 30 fps along with slow-motion recording, HDR mode, burst mode, panorama, and a range of manual controls covering exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance — while manual shutter speed, RAW capture, 360° panorama, HDR10 recording, and Dolby Vision recording are not available.

The Samsung Galaxy A06 5G runs Android 15, an open-source platform that supports multi-user profiles, voice commands with offline voice recognition, on-device machine learning, and phone tracking. On the privacy front, it offers clipboard warnings, location privacy controls, camera and microphone access controls, and the ability to block app tracking, though Mail Privacy Protection and cross-site tracking blocking are not included. The interface supports dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, widgets, customizable notifications, notification permission controls, a media picker, full-page screenshots, Live Text, split-screen multitasking, picture-in-picture, sharing intents, an extra dim mode, and app offloading. Users can also check battery health, play games while they are downloading, and use a child lock, while focus modes, Wi-Fi password sharing, Quick Start, and the ability to function as a PC are not supported. Direct OS updates from the vendor are not provided on this device.

It uses a USB Type-C port running USB 2.0 and includes an external memory slot for storage expansion. For location and navigation, the device features GPS with Galileo support alongside a compass and accelerometer, while a fingerprint scanner handles biometric authentication — 3D facial recognition and iris scanning are not available. NFC, HDMI output, a gyroscope, barometer, infrared sensor, heart rate monitor, ANT+ support, DLNA certification, crash detection, satellite SOS, motion tracking, optical tracking, and a built-in projector are all absent from this model.
