The Samsung Galaxy A6 Plus is a mixed bag of hits and misses. Priced at Rs 25,990, it competes with the Nokia 7 Plus, Vivo V9 and Oppo F7 in midrange segment
Samsung, a South Korean electronics manufacturer, puts its bet on the Galaxy A6+ to establish the company’s presence in the midrange segment, which is currently dominated by Chinese smartphone manufacturers. The smartphone takes inspiration from the Samsung premium line-up, and therefore boasts features like super AMOLED screen, Samsung Pay (Mini), Bixby, dual rear cameras and a metallic build.
However, being a midrange phone, the Galaxy A6 Plus offers limited functionality of certain premium features. For instance, Bixby personal assistant does not support voice commands, infinity screen is not curved at the edges, processor is entry level and the Samsung Pay Mini lack comprehensive digital wallet services.
Business Standard reviewed the Samsung Galaxy A6+ on several parameters to judge its overall performance. Here are the observations:
Galaxy A6+ design
The Galaxy A6+ sports metallic unibody with curved edges that seamlessly holds the glass front within the frame. The chassis is sturdy, plush and easy to hold unlike the slippery glass design that most of the current generation smartphones have.
The front is dominated by a mammoth 6-inch screen covered with a 2.5D curved glass. While the screen is dazzling, there are perceptible bezels around it that do not justify company’s infinity screen moniker. On the back, the antenna lines are too prominent, especially in the gold colour variant. Thankfully, the dual camera set-up is accompanied by a fingerprint sensor, which sits right below the camera module, making it easier to access and operate.
On the left, there are volume rocker buttons and dedicated dual-SIM and microSD card slot. The power button is on the right, while the microUSB data transfer-cum-charging port and 3.5mm audio jack are mounted on the bottom.
