The budget-friendly Samsung Galaxy A06 is edging closer to its release, having recently received certification from SIRIM, the Malaysian Standards and Industrial Research Institute. This development follows its prior listings on the FCC and BIS databases, indicating that a global launch might be imminent.
Certification Details
While the SIRIM certification doesn't disclose specific details about the device, it does lend credibility to the existing leaks and rumors about the Galaxy A06's upcoming launch. Previous certifications have already revealed some of its specifications.
The FCC certification identified the phone’s model number as SM-A065F/DS and highlighted several key connectivity features. The Galaxy A06 is expected to feature dual-band Wi-Fi (likely Wi-Fi 5 according to earlier leaks) and Bluetooth connectivity. However, for network connectivity, it will only support 4G LTE, not 5G.
Processor and Performance
The phone was also spotted on Geekbench, providing insights into its processor. The Galaxy A06 is likely to be powered by a MediaTek Helio G85 SoC, a chipset commonly found in budget and entry-level smartphones. It will be paired with at least 4GB of RAM and will run on Android 14 out of the box.
Given the leaked specifications, it's clear that Samsung is targeting budget-conscious consumers with the Galaxy A06. The MediaTek Helio G85 SoC, along with 4GB of RAM, suggests a focus on affordability rather than high-end performance.
What We Don't Know
While the certifications and leaks offer some hints about the core hardware, many details about the phone are still unknown. The design, camera configuration, battery capacity, and storage options remain a mystery. Additionally, the specific launch date and availability have not yet been disclosed.
With the SIRIM certification now in place, it's hoped that Samsung will soon reveal the official details of the Galaxy A06. We'll be closely monitoring further developments and will keep you updated as soon as more information becomes available about this budget-oriented model from Samsung.
