Galaxy A06 Set to Launch in September, According to Certification Listing

• Samsung Galaxy A06 expected to launch in September 2024
• Certification confirms support for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi bands
• Model number SM-A065F/DS revealed in Wi-Fi certification
• Potential earlier launch similar to Galaxy A04’s August release

According to a report by Smartprix, Samsung has announced an imminent release for the Galaxy A06 that will hold the position of their next entry-level smartphone.

The device appeared on a Wi-Fi certification site.

The listing further corroborates model number SM-A065F/DS for the Galaxy A06.

Passing through the usual launch cycle of Samsung, expectations are rife that the A06 will hit the markets starting September this year.

However, there’s a possibility of an earlier launch, considering the Galaxy A04’s August 2022 release.

Knowing Samsung’s usual style, an “s” variant of the A06 could very much be in the pipeline.

This would be very similar in pattern to the Galaxy A05 and A05s, which were announced at the same time.

Galaxy A06: Confirmed Features

While detailed specifications are not yet available, the certification confirms that the Galaxy A06 will support both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi bands.

Galaxy A05: Specs Recap

To set expectations for the A06, it’s worth revisiting the Galaxy A05’s specifications:

• Display: 6.7-inch 60 Hz PLS LCD, 720 x 1600 pixels
• Chipset: MediaTek Helio G85
• Memory: Up to 128 GB storage, 6 GB RAM, microSDXC slot
• Main Camera: 50 MP + 2 MP depth sensor
• Selfie Camera: 8 MP
• Battery: 5000 mAh with 25W wired charging
• Price: Rs 10,999 for the 4GB RAM + 64GB storage variant

Expectations for the Galaxy A06

Since the A0X series is positioned as the most budget-friendly offerings from Samsung, major upgrades might not be forthcoming.

That said, fans are still expecting some sort of changes from the A05, which was a pretty low-key release.

Smartprix says that certification of the Galaxy A06 does give an idea where it is in its development, but more detailed information is yet to come. 

Needless to say, best to take this with a grain of salt and just wait for official announcements from Samsung itself for confirmed specifications and features.
