Samsung Galaxy A6 and Galaxy A6+ have been regulars on leaks and they have been coming in torrents these few days. The models are yet to go official but some of the leaked details have been official ones. Right now, Samsung Indonesia website has gone live with the Galaxy A6 and A6+ with all the details you would like to find out about the models listed.

According to the specs sheet on the website, the new Galaxy A6 and A6+ feature 18.5:9 AMOLED “Infinity” displays, fingerprint sensors, unnamed 8-core SoCs, and front-facing camera flash. The bigger A6+ even has a dual-camera setup for parallax-based bokeh, and both cameras sport 16MP f/1.7 primary shooters. Prices and dates for availability are still unknown, though.

On the design aspect, both phones are a bit different and this is not just about the screen size difference. The larger A6+ steps things up in pretty much every regard, with a higher-resolution and higher PPI screen, more RAM, a bigger battery, faster clock speed, and dual-camera configuration. The smaller and lower-spec’ed A6 will almost certainly cost a less to make up for it, though. Although both phones list “Bixby” as a feature, they only seem to include Bixby Vision, Bixby Home and not Bixby Reminder. So if you were looking forward to Bixby Voice—for some sadistic reason—it doesn’t appear that these phones support it.

In addition, the sound and speakers on both phones have ostensibly been tuned by Dolby with its Atmos “immersive sound experience,” and they feature Samsung’s face recognition in addition to the rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, but neither device has any water or dust resistance.

Vietnam seems to be a strategic market for smartphone makers. We chose to infer this considering the number of first-time leaks that have emerged from that end lately. Not too long ago, we spotted the price of the unannounced REdmi S2 from that end. Now it is the turn of the unannounced Samsung Galaxy A6 hands-on video to appear well before its launch. The video has since been deleted from the original source but thanks to the guy at Allaboutsamsung.de, here is a duplicate of the original video.

The video has the Samsung Training academy badge which means it is a training video about the specs and features of the phone meant for employees and promoters in the domestic market. The video is in Vietnamese so we really can’t make out much of what is being said but it shows the Galaxy A6 in its real skin. From the little we can grab from the video, the device will pack a 16MP with an aperture f/1.9. The rear camera is also a 16MP sensor with a slightly larger aperture of f/1.7. In addition, the Galaxy A6 (2018) is confirmed to feature a 5.6-inch Super AMOLED display with an HD+ resolution of 1440 x 720p and an 18.5:9 aspect ratio.

The post Samsung Galaxy A6, A6+ Key Specifications Leaked as Launch Nears appeared first on Gizmochina.

It seems that Samsung is planning to launch a brand new mid-range smartphone this year: Samsung Galaxy A6. After two alleged variants of this handset were spotted on Geekbench, the device has been certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance. This official certification confirms its existence and lets us know that it will probably launch soon. Unfortunately, Wi-Fi Alliance did not reveal any of the specs of this upcoming device, so it is still shrouded in the mystery. But the model number and the operating system have been revealed, so we may be able to identify the handset better in the upcoming leaks.

According to Wi-Fi Alliance, Samsung Galaxy A6 has the model number SM-A600FN and Android 8.0 Oreo is installed, so it will come out of the box. No more info has been revealed, but thanks to the previous Geekbench leak we already know a few details about its specs. Even though it will be called A6, according to Geekbench it will have lower-end specs than the Galaxy A5 (2017). Under the hood, the handset sports an octa-core Samsung Exynos 7870 SoC which is also present on the Galaxy A3 (2017) and some devices of the Galaxy J series. Samsung Exynos 7870 is an octa-core chipset composed of eight Cortex-A53 CPUs; it also includes a Mali T830 MP1 GPU.

The SoC will be paired with 2 GB of RAM, while the internal storage is not known yet. On Geekbench, the Samsung Galaxy A6 scored 723 points in single-core performances and 3605 points in multi-core. According to the benchmarking platform, a Plus version of this device will be released as well and it will bring the code name SM-A605G. Unlike the standard version, this one seems better than the Galaxy A5. The A6+ will sport an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor unlike most of Samsung midranges, and 4 GB of RAM. But the score obtained on Geekbench is weirdly even lower than the one obtained by the A6 (739 in single-core and 3469 in multi-core).
