This is a grandma phone where they just scroll stuff on phone and doesn't care for the rest plus the speaker is tiny enough so their unmute Facebook videos wouldn't disturb you
Feels like so far, this year's lower end side of Samsung's A-series has barely, if at all been an upgrade over last year's models. Makes me wonder if they're even worth getting
@@trr5291 everyone says the a14 is a laggy mess, I'd really recommend upgrading to atleast the a16, maybe the a25. It's an lcd with 80.25% screen to body ratio, only 2 years of updates left anyways.
How much do you expect from a 100$ phones? Come on man it's a common sense. They launched different variations for different parts of the world. This is the reason Why they have Galaxy A00 series like A05/A06,, A0 Series like A15/A16,,,A30 Series Like A34/A35 & The A50 Series Like A54/55
Huh? Poorly? I have Samsung a34 as my daily driver and it is a 2 year old phone, it's still performs like it is the first time I unbox it. The only thing that's "aged poorly" is the tear drop notch camera and the bezels
Have you got a Samsung A series phone or ever had one? I'm still using my A13 5g and it works really well. Still great performance from the battery and still lasts me all day. I only use these phones as I don't believe in paying over £1k or even over £300.
As robotic as it sounds, I'm still kinda impressed by how good the Hindi dubbing is. It even understands the nuances of the language and decides to speak some English words as they are (like a real Hindi speaker would) instead of translating every word.
I'm planning to upgrade from A11 to A16. A15 is somehow I would like to condiser because of the jack but A16 just have that IP rating, newer Android, and more years of update. I know some people are not fond of 6 years considering the processor but all I can say is that it all comes down to Samsung's optimization and as a non-heavy user myself, A1x series are the phone for me. Also, the software updates is something I love that Samsung adds because it makes you feel updated and don't have to buy a new one anytime soon.
@hassam_.8 I got the 3gb variant and I just mentioned, I am not a heavy user as most of my heavy tasks are done on a laptop or computer. I only do music listening, getting in touch with my brothers, youtube, and socmeds. I don't play high end games as well so yeah haha
There isn't news about an A06s but there is news about an A06 5G, which apparently will get the Dimensity 6300 like some variants of the A16 5G, maybe a 90Hz screen, but the rest of the specs are expected to be the same as the A06 4G, at least as of what I'm hearing so far. Also, I didn't know about this but apparently, the A06 has a compass which the A05 didn't, plus you probably wouldn't notice but the screen-to-body ratio is 83.8% up from 82.1%. Can you take a look at some of the HMD devices? The Skyline is the hero device, but the Fusion is also pretty interesting. You could also look at entry-level phones like the Vibe, Aura, Arc, and Key. They also have the Pulse, Pulse+, Pulse Pro, Crest, Crest Max and XR21.
will this phone work in America? I'm thinking about getting it for my dad since it's so cheap, has Android OS support up to Android 16, and this is amazing specs compared to the phone he currently has but I saw on kimovil online that the version model that tehy're selling on Amazon is only 5/13 4G bands whereas the A05s is 8/13 4G bands like my old moto g8 plus which lasted me for 4 years on Android 10. Both phones, spec wise, are more than enough for my dad and MUCH BETTER than the phone he currently has. Should I get the A05s instead of the A06 for my dad TechDaily? He doesn't need the latest android OS and I think Android 13 will be supported mostly for the next 4-6 years at least. However, the A06 is like 20-30 cheaper than the A05s on Amazon I think
I got it for $90 direct from Samsung and I'll be using it just as a hotspot for my other devices. It's more than capable for my usage and battery life is really good, i wouldn't recommend this phone for use as a main phone but for just scrolling social media and responding to emails and texts, it's good to have a phone at this price point from a reputable brand. P.S - It will also receive 2 major OS updates.
Bro I mained a Galaxy A03s and it sucked coudnt even games and the overall experience was bad. So I bought a used Galaxy S20 FE 5G and I know the phones old but I am not going back what a difference!
I used to use cheap Samsung devices too. It is not worth it, and this phone continues to show it won’t ever be worth it. Get the S series. Doesn’t matter that this phone is affordable. It isn’t worth that money. Older S series > New A series.
Samsung needs to take away the Zeros and the the 50's and just go with 10's, 20's and 30's. Just like Motorola should only have the Moto G Play, G Power and G stylus. The Moto G 5Gs, should be discontinued. The A50 series is just too close to the FE and the A35 is just as good as the A54.
I've already handled the "gold" version of this phone at the store I work at, and it's more of a piss yellow, it feels sticky and it feels cheaper than the Galaxy J3 (2016). This phone is simply awful and horrible at the same, it's only worth it if you can get it for free.
Rally weak phone this phone should priced around 65$ or less , even the wallpaper is the same as the previous generation 😂 really expensive for the price , add some money and by the Galaxy m15 .
Phone is so slow ,you can barely multitask phone starts chugging when there's split screen and 2 pop up views.When playing multiplayer games even on low settings it's slow.The display looks so so bad so bad.the phone is so slow to do anything.The camera is okay ,don't buy this phone
Kind of an unnecessary video tbh 😅 Did I miss something??

Samsung A06 on Amazon: geni.us/A06-4G-LTE
a06 Has 1080p 60 fps a05 only records 1080 30 fps.
Thanks for the review Wade

I still have a A14 5G. I don't see the point in upgrading yet. The two newer A10 phones do not look like a huge upgrade.

@@trr5291 If your phone doesn’t feel laggy or slow in day to day use then there really isn’t any need to upgrade
If you look at the gap between the A04 and A05 it's pretty big, especially on performance.
I have an A13 5G. The A16 is definitely a better phone (I don't own the phone, mind you) and they thinned out the bezels, if you care about that.
Lots of Samsung's A-series phone have aged very poorly and I have a feeling this is going to be one of them

A fingerprint sensor? WHOA! 🤯🤯🤯
Meanwhile Headphone Jack 🥱🗿
a revolutionary feature 😆.
@@green9227 Considering the price yes. Apple could never...
So far the Ax6 series hasn't really been the big upgrade as the leaks were saying
Yeah this A06 specifically can't even be called an upgrade, they only added a fingerprint sensor, also that name with that pfp is crazy
I don't trust leaks regardless if they're from a reputable source.
Wade is a handsome fellow, even on a not so good camera. 😎
Funny the only technical "issue" with the A05 was the lack of a fingerprint sensor, so they fixed it. Yay. Its a perfect phone now /s
I bought an AO3s about 3 years ago for a backup phone. I sold it in 2023. The AO6 looks like the quality is a little better.

Buy A35 bro. It's much better and also a bit cheaper than A55
@@Shabriri666 it only has 4 years of software updates. Let me see. For now I am saving up and waiting for discounts haha

basically an a05 with a fingerprint scanner
And has KNOX security build in....
Yep
I love Samsung budget phones. However I would like to see four more years of OS and security updates. We have one planet let’s keep it clean.
9:48 I prefer M siries because they have 6000mhA battery with the same other specs as the A siries .
Will there be an a06s?
Probably not, A16 being released before A06s already makes A06s not canon.
Maybe we never know
If there is, then I wish the A06s will come with 5G connectivity unlike the A05s.
It will be realized soon
Excellent reviews
ive be wait for this review for a long time thanks for this Wade love your channel it's be a fun ride in the years❤
Use a little lamp oil or Wd40 to remove the remaining glue, it will remove it without any sweat.
A54 and A55 are goated
Good review, what other phones do you know that is equivalent to this phone and as good as that phone , I’m interested in the A06 as a budget phone
Samsung made an apple type move before Apple could
Really love the Samsung A series alot

if you’re worried about the bands it supports you should call your carrier and find out from them if the phone supports them
Yep dual speakers do make a big difference And the phone without having NFC also makes a huge difference

New year, new me(diocre devices).
I love samsung galaxy a06
Cool another budget phone for me. 👍😎
At last Wade!
1:25 sounds like apple 😂
They should start adding stereo speakers on cheap Samsung galaxy phones
Ok can someone tell me why this is 60fps recording but the a16 is capped at 30fps??
I've been saying this for a long time: Samsung needs to drop the Samsung series out of the picture; these phones don't belong in the competition.
iam watching for fun just changed my samsung m51 after almost 5 years and i got realme 12 plus 512 storge 12 ram
Moral of this video, get last years A05. 🙃

I have a teeny-tiny feeling thats it the same Phone, BUT it's just rebranded
This is a good phone just needs to get rid of the tear drop notch, 120hz, smaller bezels and an in screen fingerprint scanner vs a side mounted one
Get the Redmi Note 13 then
This is literally a $100 phone.
you just described the A35/A55
samsung might (probably) not release an a06s

Rumor has it, A06 5g will come with dimensity 6300, same chipset with A16 5g, which I am kinda disappointed on samsung😢
The only thing you might get is one additional year of software updates. Not worth 100$ though
The literally added a fingerprint sensor and called it a day. Only having 2 cameras still annoys me, even if the processor is weak.
these are the Chinese Samsung phones...made by Wingtech, like the A05 and the A05s.
I'll stick with my S23 Ultra. 😂
Even Redmi Note 12 4g Doesn't Have Stereo Speakers
No upgrade is why the phone is cheep what you expect for a cheep Samsung
The new model has finger print sensor and has KNOX security build in which is an upgrade compared with last year's model...
Lah.. dah ada pula suara bahasa Indonesia-nya 😅
Why are they taking the earphone jack out like that? It is very annoying to be honest.
It’s a budget phone what do you expect the only good thing about this phone is it getting android 15 and 16
stvpid heavy one UI, g85 processor can't even handle it🤣
This is just an OTP and authenticator slave, maybe a banking app too due to its security updates.
Rally weak phone this phone should priced around 65$ or less , even the wallpaper is the same as the previous generation 😂 really expensive for the price , add some money and by the Galaxy m15 .
Because its cheap i wont upgrade the software
Buy a Galaxy S10 with custom software instead of this piece of
If you like to charge your phone four times a day - very good idea!
@Daemonarch2k6 you can Change the battery 🙄🤡
If You Want 1080P much Powerfull CPU
Get A1X Series Or Above
If you dont have money for A16, don't buy a samsung phone.
If you want a similar like this just buy a05s. This one is just... BAD
Absolutely pointless, ifthe only difference is the fingerprint senser why not just put it on the a05, i'll stick to the a05s cos its a great phone
Burner phone
I should have saved money to purchased the better A15 than buying this crap. Now the A15 had a discount which made me regret even more.
I'm lucky I had mine returned the phone is so bad it's crazy
Phone is so slow ,you can barely multitask phone starts chugging when there's split screen and 2 pop up views.When playing multiplayer games even on low settings it's slow.The display looks so so bad so bad.the phone is so slow to do anything.The camera is okay ,don't buy this phone

Samsung is getting very mediocre just like Apple!
