Samsung crafting its cheapest 5G smartphone

Samsung is developing a 5G-powered Galaxy A06 smartphone. The company appears to be massively widening the reach of 5G-supported handsets this year.

Gizmochina discovered Samsung’s development of its cheapest 5G phone, dubbed Galaxy A06 5G. It’s worth noting that the company has never released a 5G variant in its Galaxy A0x segment.

The Galaxy A06 5G, model numbers SM-A066B/DS and A066M/DS, is in development. It’s a big technological development in Samsung’s history, bringing affordable 5G to more people.

The phone is expected to share almost the same specifications as its 4G model. However, we could see a change in chipset installation to power 5G network compatibility.

Samsung’s Galaxy A1x models are already leading the global Android market. The debut of the 5G-powered Galaxy A06 will further solidify the company’s dominance in the Android world.

The fifth-generation network will offer faster internet, better data transfer, and a reliable calling experience. It’s a move aligning with sequential 5G adoption by key countries such as India.

Galaxy A06 features a dual rear camera setup, consisting of a 50MP main sensor and a 2MP depth sensor. Moreover, its 6.7-inch HD+PLS LCD screen ensures everything looks vibrant and sharp.

Samsung in Q3

The Korean tech giant led the global smartphone market in the third quarter. The current quarter is expected to favor Apple given its recent iPhone 16 series launch.

Galaxy A15 and A15 5G are the best-selling Android phones globally. The expansion of 5G to the A0x series will surely bring fruitful outcomes not only budget segment market, but Samsung.
