A whole lot has been reported about Samsung’s Galaxy A6 and Galaxy A6+ over the past few months. The mid-range smartphones which had their pricing leaked a few days back has now been officially announced and are due to hit the market later this month starting with selected Asian, European and South America markets first, then followed by South Korea, Africa, and China. No Pricing has been announced, but we expect same to be lower than the pricing of the upper mid-range Galaxy A8 series.
Going straight down to the basis, both the Galaxy A6 and Galaxy A6+ are two similar devices equipped with the Always On Super AMOLED Infinity displays with 18.5:9 screen ratio and a pretty good camera setup with big apertures, but the Plus sized variant sets itself apart with bigger memory capacity(depending on location), a bigger display, more battery juice and a dual rear camera setup along with a mega 24MP front camera.
With its sleek smooth curves and metal design that has been engineered to offer improved durability and comfortable grip for maximum usability, the Galaxy A6 flaunts a 5.6-inch HD+ screen while it stretches further to a 6-inch FHD+ screen on the Galaxy A6+. Both devices run on Android 8.0 out of the box.
