the Samsung Galaxy a06 is a budget
smartphone that's just above entry level
territory it has a nice set of features
and generally Lees up to expectations
with one serious
[Music]
disappointment hello this is Mr mobility
and this is my Samsung Galaxy 06 review
this phone comes with a 6.7 in AMOLED
display there's only 60 HZ refresh rate
so you're not getting high refresh rate
here like I said it's just above entry
level territory though there are
competitors in the market that have at
least 90 HZ refresh rate it's a 720p
display that means there's only 720 by
1,600 pixels here I wish it was a 1080p
display but the display works it's not
the most fantastic display out
there that it gets the job
done there is a water drop Notch at the
top there is a
USBC Port below there is support for 3.5
mm audio jack and there's a sole
loudspeaker rail at the bottom so if
you're looking for dual speakers sorry
there is the dual SIM card slot on the
left
side there's a microphone at the
top and on the right Edge we have the
power button and fingerprint reader and
then the volume buttons this
nice design and layout here I like
it the frame is plastic
the back is plastic but there is a
r texture you know that you can run your
finger along you can feel
it the fingerprint scanner works well
once you've set it up for the most part
it's Swift it's efficient I wish that
that fingerprint scanner was in the
display though this particular unit has
4 GB of RAM and 128 gab
storage in use performance is fair it's
not of course the swiftest you would
find the processor in here is a Helo
g85 which has been a decent performer in
this particular category of phones over
the last two
years so it's a little bit dated now but
most 4G chipsets in use are dated
now gradually 4G is being faced out
obviously yes this is a 4G smartphone
there is no 5G support in here the
selfie camera is not fantastic it's not
great it's okay you can get good shots
out of it especially if your lighting is
good whether it's natural lighting or
artificial lighting if make sure your
lighting is good you get good
photographs out of it I have camera
review with sample photos earlier if you
check my videos that's Sur camera is an
8 megap
shooter at the back is a 50 map wide
angle camera as well as a 2 megapixel
macro lens I think you should just not
worry about the macro lens the 50
megapixel main camera takes decent
pictures and good lighting it struggles
in low light and for night photos always
get adequate lighting if your lighting
is good you will be able to shoot really
good photos I was able to get some good
photos out of it like I said I have
camera test and Sample photos video done
earlier as I have mentioned before this
is an all plastic phone back cover frame
it's all plastic Samsung says that the
Galaxy a06 will get two major Android
updates which is not bad at all this one
came out of the factory with Android
version 14 and one UI 6.1 it's one of
those phones that will get one ui7 based
on Android 15 and also get one UI 8
based on Android 16 there are not many
phones in this price bracket that will
get you two years major Android updates
the loudspeaker is fair the sound is
teeny lacks a lot of bars but again at
this price point you can't complain
there are a number of pre-installed apps
from Samsung that and some of them
duplicate Google's own apps I dislike
that but pretty much every Android phone
manufacturer does the same thing so at
this point you cannot hold it against
this model pick up any other smartphone
from any other Android manufacturer and
you get the same treatment and in some
cases worse some of them are really
really worse everything works here
instant messaging web browsing email I
even tried out an app for using an eim
on the Galaxy A6 and it worked I was
able to use an e on it in the United
States this goes for around $80 in
Europe it sells for around
$105 in the UK you probably get it for
about £80 as
well in Nigeria the price continues to
change depending on exchange rate but
this should come in for around 150
160,000 NAA
this is the 4 GB and 128 GB storage
variant the lowest configuration is 4 GB
RAM and 64 GB storage I do not advise
that you get that one system storage
here takes about 15 GB of space if you
get the 64 GB variant that's a huge
chunk of your space gone you'll have
about 49 GB storage left
really just get whatever extra money you
need to get and get the 128 GB storage
variant Now battery life is
exceptional I haven't used a smartphone
that has provided this level of
excellent battery life in a long time I
go for a full day sometimes of moderate
use BL exhausting this
battery but the one area where it fails
where it disappoints is in the charging
Samsung says that Galaxy a06 comes with
25 wat fast charging I have tried it
with multiple Chargers and I can tell
you for a fact that this phone does not
charge at 25 wats from an empty battery
to 100% battery takes 2 hours 30
minutes that is not 25 wat fast charging
this does not do fast charging and I'm
not the only one complaining I have
checked and pretty much everyone else
says the same so you need to plug this
thing put it down and go away for a long
time so pretty much you're back to the
days of plugging your phone and going to
bed that's the best way to get a full
battery out of this during a busy day I
doubt that you'll be able to plug it and
put it down for it to charge so it's
going to stay plugged in for much longer
than 2 hours 30 minutes the Samsung
Galaxy
a06 is a decent almost entry level
smartphone
if you're looking for a decent
smartphone for calls for basic messaging
telegram WhatsApp Etc you don't want to
do gaming you don't want a smartphone
you have to push hard you're not an
Instagram or Tik Tok Diva who needs to
post the sharpest pictures and
videos this works actually you can use
the videos and pictures on Tik Tok and
Snapchat and Instagram and all of that
if you pay attention to your photography
skills it shoots good photos in good
lighting so this is the Samsung Galaxy
a06 I'll see you in my next video
