Samsung Galaxy A6 Price in the Philippines is PHP 16,490 : Full Specs, Actual Unit Photos

Within the past three years or so, Samsung has been positioning its Galaxy A-Series handsets in the high-end bracket, just below its Galaxy S flagship line.

Considering that, I think the fact that the new Samsung Galaxy A6 is priced almost like an entry-level to midrange J-Series model proves that the Korean Giant is keen on bringing more enticing features to this price echelon, which is currently being dominated by OPPO, Vivo, and Huawei.

Donning an official suggested retail price of just PHP 16,490, the Samsung Galaxy A6 already comes with several main selling points that should prove attractive to young and upbeat mobile consumers.

Personally, I think there are 6 things that are amazing about this release. Let's go through each of them.

Samsung Galaxy A6

1. Sleek Design - The SGA6 flaunts a real metal shell with rounded sides and corners. This svelte enclosure works well with the 2.5 curved glass face, making the device a joy to hold and to keep in the pocket.

2. Notch-less Display - The notch is a polarizing feature and for those who don't like it, this smartphone should be a good option in the mid-level bracket.

Also, although I wish that its resolution was FullHD+, this model's 5.6-inch HD+ SuperAMOLED -panel is still brighter and more color-brilliant - but not clearer or more pixel-dense - than the some screens of competing smartphones.

3. Take Selfies in All Lighting Conditions - If you love snapping self-portraits indoors or in bars, you'd be glad to know that the Galaxy A6's 16 MegaPixel f/1.9 front-facing camera has a Soft-LED Flash, which can illuminate your face in settings where there's little ambient light.

4. Rear Camera Made for Low Light Settings - SGA6's 16 MegaPixel shooter at the back has a wide aperture of f/1.7, which means that it can take in more light in dim situations while giving you luscious bokeh effect on portrait shots - if a bit.

5. Good Internal Hardware - The Galaxy A6 2018's set of innards - headlined by the Exynos 7870 Octa Processor with Mali-T830 MP1 GPU, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB internal storage that can be augmented using the dedicated microSD card slot - ensures decent 3D gaming experience and smooth multitasking experience on the go.

6. Stellar Audio Experience - If you love listening to your favorite music tracks on the go using your headphones, I'm sure you'll enjoy it more on the Galaxy A6 since it has Dolby Atmos, which instantly enhances the sound by boosting basses and trebles, among other enhancements.

Oh, and another thing: If you're concerned about your privacy and security, this handset has a Fingerprint Scanner at the back as well as Facial Recognition incorporated into the front cam.
