The images of the upcoming Galaxy A06 were posted by legendary leakster Evan Blass (@evleaks). The phone appears in three colors—black, white/silver, and yellow/gold—in those leaked images. It is evident from these images that Samsung has brought the ‘Key Island' design, which debuted with the Galaxy A55, to the Galaxy A06. The phone also appears to have a side-mounted fingerprint reader.
The Galaxy A06 has a 6.7-inch screen with a U-shaped cutout at the top for the selfie camera. It has a fairly big chin below the screen, and we think it is time for Samsung to move to a punch-hole-shaped cutout for the selfie camera and uniform bezels around the screen.
Based on previous leaks, it appears that the Galaxy A06 will be equipped with the MediaTek Helio G85 processor. This is the same chipset that is used in the Galaxy A05, which means Samsung isn't upgrading the processor, which is among the first things brands improve upon when launching a new phone.
The phone reportedly measures 167.3 x 77.9 x 8mm, making it slightly more compact than its predecessor. We expect this phone to feature a 50MP primary rear camera, a 2MP depth sensor, and an 8MP front-facing camera. It is likely powered by a 5,000mAh battery, similar to the Galaxy A05. The device runs Android 14 out of the box.
So, besides the ‘Key Island' design element and the side-mounted fingerprint reader, Samsung has not changed anything else compared to the Galaxy A05.
