Samsung has launched the Galaxy A06 5G in India, making it the first 5G-enabled device in the A0 series. Priced at ₹10,500 (~$120), the phone offers impressive long-term software support, with four OS updates and security patches until 2030—a level of support comparable to some flagship models.
The Dimensity 6300 processor powers the device, supporting 12 5G bands for broad network compatibility. It runs Android 15 with One UI 7 out of the box, offering a smoother experience. Compared to the A06 4G model, which only gets two OS updates, the 5G version provides double the software longevity.
The 6.7-inch PLS LCD has a 720 x 1600 resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate, offering a more fluid display experience. A side-mounted fingerprint sensor debuts in this model for improved security.
For photography, the phone includes a 50MP main camera (f/1.8, AF) capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps and slow-motion at 720p/120fps. A 2MP depth sensor complements the rear setup, while an 8MP front camera (f/2.0) is housed in a notch.
The device includes a USB-C (v2.0) port, 3.5mm headphone jack, Wi-Fi 5, and Bluetooth 5.3. Storage is expandable via microSD, and it supports 25W wired charging for its 5,000mAh battery. It has an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance.
