The Samsung Galaxy A6s is a midrange Android smartphone produced by Samsung Electronics as part of the Samsung Galaxy A series. It was introduced on 24 October 2018. It is the first Galaxy smartphone not to be manufactured by Samsung, but by Wingtech.[1] Launched in conjunction with the Samsung Galaxy A9s, it is targeted at the Chinese market.

Its main feature is its 6-inch LCD Infinity Display with curved edges similar to the Samsung Galaxy A8/A9 (2018).[2]

Specifications

[edit]

The A6s features a 6.0 inch Full HD+ PLS TFT LCD display with 18:9 aspect ratio. Unlike previous Samsung Galaxy A series smartphones, this device uses a LCD panel rather than a Super AMOLED display. The display features curved edges, similar to the S9's infinity display, but with larger bezels and no curved display.[3]

The dual camera setup features a primary 12 MP f/1.8 sensor for normal photography and a 5 MP depth sensor for effects such as bokeh.[1] The front camera is a 12 MP sensor.

It runs Android 8.1.0 "Oreo" with Samsung Experience 9.5 out-of-the box. The smartphone features Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC consisting of an octa core processor with 4 performance 2.2 GHz Kryo 260 and 4 efficient 1.8 GHz Kryo 260 cores and Adreno 512 GPU, sports 6 GB/8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage which is expandable up to 256 GB via dedicated MicroSD card slot.[4]

Availability

[edit]

The A6s was only released and available in the Chinese market from November 2018. No plans have been announced to launch the device in other markets.
