Samsung Galaxy A6 Plus Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Shekhar Thakran]()
Verdict
While the Samsung Galaxy A6+, priced at Rs 25,990, ticks some of the crucial aspects of a good smartphone, i.e. design, display, and battery life, some other specifications let it down massively. Just let it sink in that Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 (review), which can be grabbed for as low as Rs 9,999, comes with a Snapdragon 625 processor, which is slightly better than the Snapdragon 450 found on Galaxy A6+. There is strong competition from the likes of ZenFone Max Pro M1 (review) as well as Xiaomi Note 5 Pro (review), both of which are priced well below the Galaxy A6+. The issues we faced with Live...

Design and display
+
Instead of beating around the bush, let's just put it right here - the design is one of the strongest, if not the strongest, selling points for the Galaxy A6+. With narrow bezels and a premium finish, the handset feels like a flagship in the hand. It's great to see that Samsung is trying to improve the build quality and design on its mid-range offerings, especially since this was not the case a few years back. The handset is easy to hold in one hand and the matte finish at the back ensures that it doesn't feel slippery either. However, the matte back is a fingerprint magnet. After the feedback received from the Galaxy S8 smartphones, the brand seems to have decided on the best location for the fingerprint sensor, which is placed in the middle at the back, right below the dual camera setup (same as Galaxy Note 8 and Galaxy S9 models). I found that the fingerprint sensor on the A6+ was easily accessible, but it could have been bigger in size for convenience.

Cameras

The Galaxy A6+ comes with a rear-facing dual camera setup, comprising a 16MP primary sensor with f/1.7 aperture and a secondary 5MP sensor with f/1.9 aperture, accompanied by an LED flash. At the front, the handset sports a 24MP sensor with a f/1.9 aperture, also accompanied by an LED flash, for video calling and selfies. For us, the handset managed to click some really good pictures in apt light settings with both rear and front cameras. In the default camera app, you get the regular modes including Panorama, Night, Continuous shot, Sports etc. With the Pro mode, users get the option to adjust ISO and white balance to manually tweak the image settings. There are AR stickers, if you use them, available in the default camera app as well.

Software and Performance
+
The new A-series handset from Samsung is powered by a Snapdragon 450 SoC coupled with 4GB of RAM. The smartphone comes with 64GB of built-in storage, which is further expandable via microSD card up to 256GB. If we talk about performance, the Galaxy A6+ manages to handle most apps and games, but it should be noted that there are certain smartphones that are available at a much cheaper price with the same processor and memory. Considering that the handset from Samsung is priced slightly higher, a better processor would have definitely made a stronger case for the A6+. However, that being said, the A6+ managed to play graphically intensive games like PUBG at even high graphics settings with relative smoothness. The handset managed to tackle multitasking without a hiccup as well.

Battery life
+
The Galaxy A6+ houses a rather large 3,500mAh battery. In theory, the handset should easily manage to last through a day and more. If we talk about real-life usage, the handset managed to last through the day even on heavy usage for us. Despite watching videos, playing games, and browsing Internet through the day, we did not run out of juice before the end of the day. In our video loop test, where we play an HD video with the loudspeaker on 50 percent volume and display on 50 percent brightness, the handset managed to last around 16 hours on a single charge. This means the Galaxy A6+ should easily last through a day of heavy use for most users. As the handset sports an impressive display, the combination of these two aspects make the Galaxy A6+ a perfect companion for media consumption while on road away from the wall charger.
