Samsung Galaxy A6 32 GB Single SIM Black UK Version

Product Information

The Samsung Galaxy A6 runs Android 8.0, with the familiar Samsung UI on top. As such, it looks just like the software in a Galaxy S9. The compromises here are similar to those seen in the Moto G6 Play, a significantly cheaper phone. However, the core camera hardware here is a little better. The Samsung Galaxy A6 has a 16MP f/1.7 lens rear camera and a 16MP f/1.9 one for selfies. You can get the phone in 32GB and 64GB variants, but we’re looking at the 32GB version here. Design

Low resolution characterises the display’s look, but the other benefits of OLED are present. Contrast is great and, similar to a higher-end Samsung phone, you can choose for colours to be super-bold, natural-looking or somewhere in-between.

Terms & Conditions

Any other compromises? The Samsung Galaxy A6’s side buttons are plastic rather than metal, and its SIM tray design is less clean than Samsung’s higher-end phones. Some parts of the screen are very strong, others fall behind standard at the price. The strong elements are those usually associated with OLED. Rear camera: 16MP, f/1.7 aperture; phase detection autofocus; LED flash. 1080p/30fps video recording.

Display Size: Measured diagonally as a full rectangle without accounting for the rounded corners. Actual viewable area is less due to the rounded corners. A's and 'J's, unite! We have for review the Samsung Galaxy A6 (2018) which takes the A8's camera and rear-mounted fingerprint sensor and fits them in a J5 (2017)-like aluminum body. Mind you, there's also the J6 (no year) which is a lot like the A6 (2018), but minus the A's cameras and with a plastic body. As if Samsung's lineup could get any more confusing. The Samsung Galaxy A6 has a 5.6-inch Super AMOLED screen with an 18.5:9 shape. More of the front is taken up by screen than in mid-range phones of 2016-2017. Micro USB can support fast charging, but this phone does not. You get a standard adaptor in the box and we didn’t see a ‘fast charge’ pop-up when we tried a Samsung Adaptive fast charger either.The Samsung Galaxy A6 feels responsive, in a completely different league to the Honor 7C. However, it isn’t distinctly better than the light UI used by the Moto G6 family. SM-A600F, SM-A600FN, SM-A600A, SM-A600G, SM-A600GN, SM-A600P, SM-A600N, SM-A600T1, SM-A600AZ, SM-A600T, SM-A600U
