After it was first spotted abroad more than a week ago, the Samsung Galaxy A06 immediately made its way to the Philippines.
Unlike other entry-level Samsung phones, there are actually a couple of interesting things you can find on the Samsung Galaxy A06. For starters, it has a sleek design for a budget device, with a shiny metal-like frame with a bump on the physical button area for extra appeal.
It comes in Light Blue and Blue Black colors, with a distinct stripe pattern on the back that should withstand fingerprint marks and smudges. Samsung also made it thinner at 8.0mm, from its predecessor’s 8.8mm.
25W charging, which used to be exclusive to Samsung’s midrange and flagship phones, has finally reached entry-level phones like the Galaxy A06. Sadly, a charging adapter doesn’t come on the box, but you can get one for free if Samsung is running a special promo.
Powering the device is a MediaTek Helio G85 octa-core processor, with only 4GB of RAM and an option between 64GB and 128GB of storage. A 5,000mAh battery keeps the light on.
A large 6.7-inch HD+ screen is on the front, with only a 60Hz refresh rate. A 90Hz or 120Hz wouldn’t make sense on a device of this caliber, anyway. An 8-megapixel selfie camera sits on top, while on the back, we have a 50-megapixel main shooter and the obligatory 2-megapixel depth sensor.
The Samsung Galaxy A06 64GB model has a price of Php5,790 while the 128GB is at Php6,790. You can get it with a Php1,000 discount when you trade in any Galaxy J series device, an extra Php500 off for Samsung Members, and a free charging adapter valued at Php1,190 for every purchase until December 31, 2025.
If you don’t mind spending for an accessory more expensive than the device itself, you can get the Galaxy A06 until September 30 and get up to a 20% discount on the Galaxy Buds 3 series and 10% off on a Galaxy Watch Ultra or Watch7
