Samsung Galaxy A6 Review | Trusted Reviews

Samsung Galaxy A6 Review: A solid phone for the basics, but rival devices offer more for your money and the A6 ends up missing the mark.

Decent day-to-day performance ; Pleasant metal shell

Low-end graphics chip ; Low-res screen ; You get more for your money elsewhere

A solid phone for the basics, but rival devices offer more for your money.

Samsung Galaxy A6 review

Good looks, but how's the performance?

Smart aluminum casing ; Rich display colors ; Decent front-facing camera

Weak GPU ; Low screen res reveals OLED fizz ; Lack of Auto HDR spoils the camera

The Samsung Galaxy A6 is a smart-looking phone with one too many dated elements, given the price. From its weak GPU to its low-resolution screen, there are better rivals.

Samsung Galaxy A6 mobile phone review

(Rating Hidden)

As the middle-of-the-range handset within a line of mobile phones that is in itself mid-range, the Samsung Galaxy A6 is a smartphone that can be hard to get excited about at first. A cursory glance over the specifications, though, and your expectations...

Samsung Galaxy A6 (2018) Smartphone Review

Night and Day. With the Galaxy A6 (2018), Samsung brings a chic-looking, mid-range smartphone to the market, which scores major points with its 5.6-inch Super AMOLED display and two 16 MP cameras. In our review, the Android smartphone proves to be very...

chic design, comfortable to hold ; expandable internal storage ; Android 8.0 ; dual-SIM plus MicroSD ; bright display with great color reproduction ; stays cool while in operation ; great battery life

neither water nor dust-proof ; Micro-USB 2.0 instead of USB-C ; slow Wi-Fi ; PWM flickering ; does not support fast charging ; mediocre performance

With the Galaxy A6 (2018), Samsung offers a good mid-range smartphone, which has to compete with capable competitors. It has a number of advantages, but it also has just as many disadvantages. The Samsung Galaxy A6 (2018) is a good mid-range...

Samsung Galaxy A6 (2018) Review

If you are looking for a compact and elegant phone that is reliable and will not break the bank, Samsung's new Galaxy A6 might be the right one for you…

Compact, sturdy yet thin metal design ; Super AMOLED screen has pleasing colors ; Takes very good looking selfies ; Samsung Experience interface has many features, modern visuals

Low screen resolution results in noticeable pixelization ; Main camera quality is disappointing ; No 4K video option ; Uses outdated microUSB port ; Only partial waterproofing

Samsung Galaxy A6 (2018) review: the A series' ugly duckling | AndroidPIT

Samsung presented a new addition to its Galaxy A range this year: the A6 (2018). We quickly tried it out to get an idea of the device and how it is different from the A8. Here are our thoughts.

The Samsung Galaxy A6 (2018) is the ugly duckling of the A series, which would have been a swan in the J series. Technically speaking, it's more similar to the top of the J range and it lacks the things we would normally expect in the A range, like...
