Samsung Galaxy A06 Philippine availability announced

Samsung has equipped the Galaxy A06 with a MediaTek Helio G85 processor, along with 4GB of RAM in the local variant. The unit also boasts a 5,000mAh battery that supports fast charging up to 25 watts. Running Android 14-based One UI out of the box, it is backed by the South Korean technology giant’s offer of two major OS updates and four years of security patches.

The Samsung Galaxy A06 offers promising camera specs, especially considering its bargain-basement price point. It packs a 50-megapixel main camera paired with a 2-megapixel depth sensor. For selfies and video calls, an 8-megapixel front-facing camera is included here.

Another highlight is Samsung’s Knox Vault, a hardware-based security solution. This makes the Galaxy A06 one of the most affordable smartphones on the market to offer Knox Vault.

By incorporating Knox Vault, Samsung ensures that your passwords, biometrics, and other critical information remain secure. This added level of protection is particularly important in today’s digital age, where data breaches and cyber threats are becoming increasingly prevalent.
