Samsung Galaxy A6 2018 32 GB / 3 GB
 | Expecting restock $829.00 Balanced on all fronts, a mid-range smartphone is dressed in an “outfit” made of brushed aluminium.

Middle class
With the A-series of smartphones, Samsung found that fine line between build quality, performance, essential features, and a reasonable price without the brand markup. This combination has made smartphones with the A index a popular hit and can boast sales no worse than the flagship Galaxy smartphones.
metal body
Externally, the Samsung Galaxy A6 repeats the older model Galaxy A6 Plus 2018 with its elongated shape, moderate side frames, a strict appearance and a conscientiously assembled aluminium body. Although the smartphone looks discreet in photos, due to the metal body, the screen of adequate dimensions and 18:9 proportions, it sits comfortably in the hand, creating a solid feel.
Super AMOLED display
The smartphone is equipped with a Super AMOLED class matrix as in more expensive Samsung models. As a result, the display boasts strong contrast and very deep blacks. Of the shortcomings, it is worth noting the cold colour gamut and the low resolution of 1440x720 pixels with a display diagonal of 5.6".
In general, the display is of good quality, except for the resolution, it is difficult to find fault with it. Moreover, in the menu you can customize the screen for yourself by changing the colour mode (there are three of them), change the RGB settings manually and adjust the blue filter. In fact, it is able to display both the most juicy picture with bright summer colours and make the image more neutral in the spirit of the usual IPS matrices.
Exynos 7870 octa-core processor
As for the filling, the Samsung Galaxy A6 is based on the new 8-core Exynos 7870 processor and is equipped with 3 GB of RAM. Their performance is more than enough for the comfortable work of everyday applications like Facebook, YouTube and Instagram or web surfing with a bunch of open tabs and large articles with a pile of illustrations and multimedia content. As for games, the ARM Mali-T830 MP1 video accelerator makes it possible to play without brakes at medium graphics settings in not the easiest games like PUBG or WOW.
Advanced energy saving system
The Samsung Galaxy A6 has a 3000 mAh standard battery for this class. It shows the results of battery life appropriate — a day of work with very active use or up to 2 days with a minimum. But in unequivocal pluses you can add an advanced energy saving system with a huge number of settings.
Camera with virtual assistant
Another plus is the main camera with a 16 MP sensor and intelligent Bixby mode, which analyzes everything that falls into the field of view of the lens, displays hints, finds products in online stores, recognizes and translates text from labels. As for the photo quality, it leaves a very pleasant impression for a $200 smartphone. This is especially true for daytime photography.
It is also worth praising the good sound quality when playing music in headphones and the presence of an NFC chip, which, unfortunately, has not yet become a mandatory thing for inexpensive smartphones.
