Samsung has quietly launched its latest budget phone, the Galaxy A06, in Vietnam. Following a string of leaks, the official reveal confirms what many suspected: the A06 offers minimal improvements over its predecessor, the Galaxy A05. Let’s get into details here.
Samsung Galaxy A06 Specifications
The most notable change of the Galaxy A06 comes in the form of the display and design. While it retains the 6.7-inch display as its predecessor, the refresh rate has been bumped to 90Hz refresh rate, a subtle yet meaningful improvement over the A05’s 60Hz panel.
Design-wise, the phone has the “Key Island” aesthetic we’ve seen on previous Galaxy A-series phones. Key Island is a protrusion on the right frame of the phone, where you’ll find both the volume rocker and fingerprint sensor.
Internally, the A06 carries over the MediaTek Helio G85 chip from the A05. It offers storage options of 64GB or 128GB, paired with 4GB or 6GB of RAM. The camera system remains the same as well, with a primary 50MP sensor and a secondary sensor.
The company says the phone ships with the latest version of Android, which should be Android 14. There’s no mention of any AI feature though, if you’re curious about it. Security is handled by a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. Powering all these things is a 5000mAh battery that supports 25W charging.
Price and Availability
The Galaxy A06 is launched in Vietnam for VND 3,190,000 (roughly $127) for the 4GB+64GB variant, climbing to VND 3,790,000 (around $151) for the 6GB+128GB model.
Sales begin next week, and customers who order between August 22 and September 30 will receive a free 25W wall charger. This offer is particularly handy since Samsung does not include a charger in the box. Currently, there’s no information on the A06’s availability in other markets.
