    Samsung Launches New Budget Phone with Key Island Design

    Samsung has discreetly released its newest budget-friendly smartphone, the Galaxy A06, in Vietnam. After a series of leaks, the official announcement confirms expectations: the A06 presents only slight enhancements compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy A05. Let’s delve into the specifics.

    Samsung Galaxy A06 Specifications

    The standout modification in the Galaxy A06 lies in its display and design. While maintaining the 6.7-inch screen of the previous model, the refresh rate has been upgraded to 90Hz from the A05’s 60Hz, offering a minor yet significant improvement.

    Design and Features

    In terms of design, the device features the “Key Island” look common to earlier Galaxy A-series models. This design includes a protrusion on the right side where both the volume control and fingerprint sensor are located.

    Internally, the A06 retains the MediaTek Helio G85 processor from the A05. It is available with either 64GB or 128GB of storage, coupled with 4GB or 6GB RAM options. The camera setup remains unchanged, featuring a primary 50MP sensor along with a secondary sensor.

    Battery and Software

    The phone is shipped with the latest Android version, expected to be Android 14. However, there are no mentions of any AI features. Security is ensured by a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. The device is powered by a 5000mAh battery that supports 25W charging.

    Price and Availability

    In Vietnam, the Galaxy A06 is priced at VND 3,190,000 (approximately $127) for the 4GB+64GB version and VND 3,790,000 (about $151) for the 6GB+128GB model.

    Sales start next week, and customers who purchase between August 22 and September 30 will receive a complimentary 25W wall charger. This promotion is particularly useful since Samsung doesn’t include a charger in the package. There is currently no information regarding the availability of the A06 in other regions.

    Samsung Galaxy A06 Full Specs Leaked Online

    Samsung’s forthcoming Galaxy A06 has been a topic of discussion for some time, with recent leaks shedding more light on its features. Earlier this month, complete renderings of the device surfaced, and now, trusted source Sudhanshu Ambhore has disclosed its full specifications on X (formerly known as Twitter).

    Display and Performance

    The Galaxy A06 is expected to sport a 6.7-inch PLS LCD screen with a resolution of 720×1600 pixels. Unlike some of its budget-friendly counterparts, it seems to maintain a standard refresh rate of 60Hz. Under the hood, the phone will be powered by the MediaTek Helio G85 processor, a chip commonly seen in entry-level smartphones.

    Camera and Battery

    The camera setup remains unchanged from the previous model, featuring a 50MP main sensor paired with a 2MP depth sensor on the back. For selfies, there’s an 8MP front-facing camera housed in a traditional notch. The device will be backed by a 5,000mAh battery, supplemented by 25W fast charging capabilities. It will run on the latest Android 14, with Samsung promising two years of operating system updates and four years of security patches.

    Design and Storage

    In terms of dimensions, the phone measures 167.3 x 77.3 x 8.0 mm and weighs 196 grams. Security is managed via a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and Samsung Knox Vault for enhanced data protection. Storage options include 4GB of RAM with either 64GB or 128GB of internal storage, expandable up to 1TB via a microSD card slot. Audio is delivered through a single mono speaker with Dolby Atmos support.

    Pricing and Availability

    While the leak doesn’t provide pricing details, we anticipate those will be revealed shortly. Stay tuned for more updates.

  • Samsung Galaxy A06: New Renderings Reveal Key Device Details

    Samsung Galaxy A06: New Renderings Reveal Key Device Details

    Samsung’s forthcoming Galaxy A06 was initially seen in leaked renders late last month. Now, a more detailed rendering has emerged, providing further insights into the phone’s external design, such as a textured back panel.

    Galaxy A06 Rendering

    The new render reveals the same camera layout and back texture as its predecessor. The latest render indicates that the phone will feature slightly larger camera modules compared to the Galaxy A05, but the overall camera layout, including the flash module placement, remains unchanged. The back panel texture also appears to be very similar to the previous model.

    Design Consistency

    On the right side, the new phone will have a raised portion on the frame that houses the power button and volume rocker, akin to the Galaxy A15, Galaxy A35, and Galaxy A55. Samsung has dubbed this design "Key Island." The front render shows bezels and a water drop notch for the selfie camera, much like its predecessor.

    Specifications

    A previous Geekbench listing reveals that the Galaxy A06 will be powered by a MediaTek Helio G85 chip and will come pre-installed with One UI 6.1 based on Android 14. This 6nm-class chip is designed for 4G smartphones. In terms of memory, the model will come with 4GB RAM, although 6GB RAM is becoming mainstream in many markets.

    This phone will support 4G connectivity and dual-sim dual-standby. Interestingly, it uses the same chipset as its predecessor, which raises questions about potential performance improvements. There are also rumors that the phone might use the Helio G99 chipset.

    Display and Battery

    The display is expected to be a 6.7" HD+ LCD screen. Notably, the phone will feature a 3.5mm headphone jack and a 5000mAh battery. It is said to support the company’s traditional 15W charging technology, although this seems unlikely since the predecessor already supports faster 25W charging.

    In other aspects, the predecessor also features a 6.7" LCD display with the same 720p resolution and is powered by the Helio G85 (12nm) chipset and a 5000mAh battery.

  • Samsung Galaxy A06 Leaked Renders Show Dual Cameras, Key Design

    Samsung Galaxy A06 Leaked Renders Show Dual Cameras, Key Design

    Samsung is gearing up to unveil a new addition to its Galaxy A-series lineup in the near future. The Galaxy A06 has recently received multiple certifications such as FCC, SIRIM, BIS, and WiFi-Alliance. Leaked renders shared by Onleaks have now given us a glimpse of the device’s design. This model will succeed last year’s Galaxy A05. Let’s dive into what the leaked images reveal about the Galaxy A06.

    Samsung Galaxy A06 Leaked Renders

    The Samsung Galaxy A06 showcases a flat frame and features the brand’s Key Island design on the right side, a design element consistent with this year’s Galaxy A-series phones. The device includes volume rocker buttons and a power key that also functions as a fingerprint scanner. On the rear, there are two camera sensors aligned vertically along with an LED flash.

    At the front, the Galaxy A06 is equipped with an Infinity-U display, indicating that the notch resembles the letter U. The bottom chin of the device has a noticeable bezel. The bottom panel houses a USB-C port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a speaker grille. The leaked images show the device in a Black color variant.

    Specifications and Dimensions

    According to the report, the Samsung Galaxy A06 is expected to measure 167.3 x 77.9 x 8.0 mm. It is likely to sport a large 6.7-inch display with an HD+ resolution.

    Battery and Processor

    The FCC certification indicates that the Galaxy A06 will come with a 5,000mAh battery. Additionally, the Geekbench database reveals that the device will be powered by a MediaTek Helio G85 processor and will include 6GB of RAM, with the possibility of more configurations at launch.

  • Samsung Galaxy A06 Launch Nears: SIRIM Certification Confirmed

    Samsung Galaxy A06 Launch Nears: SIRIM Certification Confirmed

    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.
