Samsung Galaxy A6s - User Reviews

  • what do you mean please?

  • I bought one, but it's not equipped with WiFi Direct as mentioned in the specifications on this site. Could anyone please help me to find it?

  • this us thé first Time i regret buying a smartphone

  • This and Galaxy A10s are Samsung's ODM phones by far.

  • Where did you buy yours please

  • Does it have a plastic body or metal?

  • I m using that phone n it has google play store....

  • It is released with Google Play Store, Galaxy apps, Google play music etc.

  • 1. Pop ups appear again and again: Google Play want to turn Bluetooth on. Allow / Deny 2. When a photo is taken, it takes around 5 minutes to appear in gallery, prior to that nothing is shown in the gallery. Any solution, please... 3. A number of spelling mistakes around. Strange to know. Is it really Samsung...

  • Hey Eddy, did you fix it yet? My situation is same as yours. Desperate for a solution.

  • Someone said yes but some said no. Please let me know how can i ensure the A6s equipped with google play store before i place order. Thanks.

  • Does it means some equipped google play store n some not? How can i know it is equipped with play store b4 i place order? Thx

  • Its not

  • it's already equipped yes

  • use WiFi for first time to update your phone.

  • Of course. It's an amoled display as mentioned above in the specsheet.

  • B4 i buy Samsung Galaxy A6s from 'Taobo', please let me know whether the phone has already equipped the Play Store app? Thanks

  • Does it have always on display?... how good is battery life and camera?

  • I recently bought one in China.Love the UI and speed its smooth.I hate one thing however i cant seem to install google play store on the device,its been a pain as most apps are not even working including the default browser,each time i get the notification "install/update google play services on your phone to start using Samsung Internet Services" but the phone wont even install any google store app.That sucks so much.When i try to install the play store apk at times i get the notification "Google services not supported by device' ...wasted my money

  • Its Looks Like Oppo a83 or vivo y71 for me But i guess it just have a dual camera... Naiss

  • Including you lols

  • FM radio?

  • I guess, thats because cuting cost.. Not only this A6s phone, but also A8s, and M10, M20. They all looks like Chinese phone (Honor, Xiaomi), if there is not Samsung name on the back, and Samsung UI, nobady will know who made those phones. Originality for Samsung will stay only in flagship Samsung phones phones.

  • guys lets be honest. that xiaomi is cheap cuz the distribution and flash sales and they don't use ads on anywhere except online. and Samsung just advertise their phones almost everywhere. im not trying to fanboy or something. but ppl have their own opinion. so for this price range its actually a bargain (not counting xiaomi). also poco have downsides too, like it gets slow after just several months and the quality of the phone like the lcd (probably they did this cuz they wanna make this really that cheap). and if u want a better phone. why not buy oneplus 6t or note 9 instead, these phones are just way better than poco and has a lotta features.

  • Still a lot less than Samsung phones. Specs compared to price are worst along with Samsung UI which is nothing else than a bloatware. If you get inside your phone tons of viruses and malware it will be a lot better than having a Samsung UI.

  • poco have lot of problam this price range

  • YAes 250 is too expensive and Samsung UI is worst UI ever created. Xiaomi or Poco is great UI best is wannila android out of any stupid irrelevant apps which looks like part of the OS and cant be deleted. And when i look at the specs its says 270 euros which is like 330 not 250 dollars or more. For that price i can buy a Pocophone which is 20 times faster and better and conmstantly updated compared to samsung phones.

  • For 250 dollars you get SD660, 6GB RAM, dual f/1.8 camera, sAmoled screen and fair battery life. All of it with Samsung's UI which is very good. If you tell me that IPS lie I will loose hope for humanity Samsung said that it is sAmoled so shut up. You say 250 dollars is too expensive for this. That is just sad.

  • This phone is a bit strange. They have always had original "Samsung-like" design. But now, it's like Xiaomi or Huawei/Honor. But awful "Samsung-like" prices are still here.

  • Good.

  • I agree with you, totally. Samsung is pretty silly for not putting the nfc on entire galaxy models

  • Oh cmon, doesn't it have NFC?

  • yo umar kahn, you also check out cool phones from gsm arena

  • Is it a great job to spend more money? There are Lots of mobile companies .

  • Ugh ! This phone is so ugly ! The most ugly phone in the world what I've ever seen !

  • This is not a Samsung phone. It's not made by Samsung. It's made by a Chinese company called Wingtech which produces Xiaomi phones. This is Samsung’s first ODM phone, or one produced by another company. The phone will most likely only be available in China for now.

  • In some of his first images ... you could see in the bootlogo the name: Samsung Galaxy Phoenix, which is another of his names ...

  • Wauww, This is Amazing Phone !

  • Everyone has their own opinions. I am a huge fan of super amoled that's why i like mi 8 and Samsung's display.

  • Beautiful phone yes 270 not 200 euro But you get 6 gb more ram and superAmoled display

  • xiaomi design is lame they need to change to something like vivo or oppo. samsung need to improve and lucky they avoid the notch

  • conclusion is they have their own business strategies ..of coz if there is midrange or low end must have lot to complain, less this and that lorr...u go buy flagship phone and complain also lor..

  • Definitely is SAMSUNG. Overprice with outdated CPU or GPU.

  • Do you know that this phone that you are looking at is made with plastic Xiaomi has only poco and the very chrap phones that are made with plastic (because at that price around 100$ there is no phone with metal or glass build ) But for samsung these phones are made with plastic J8 250$ J6 180$ J4 140$ A7 (2018) the frame is made with plastic so when holding it you feel that it is cheap J6+ 200$ J4+ 170$ And for xiaomi Redmi 6a 80$ Redmi 6 100$ Pocophone the 300 $ So which is the plastic trash samsung or xiaomi

  • A6s is made in china And what about china why you hate it??

  • Poco's camera and display are very good at its price range just compare the camera to galaxy a7 You have wrong houghts about display and camera because youtubers are always comparing poco to flagships

  • Not all their phones have super amoled j4+ and j6+ have lcd Samsung's phones are the ones that use plastic back

  • When its available in Indian markets???

  • To be honest Samsung mid range smartphones are the ones that should be called 'joke' Xiaomi's smartphones are the ones that have better build and camera quality and even more software updates Only the display is awsome in Samsung (for s AMOLED)

  • "Samsung galaxy A5 2015 model was awesome. Why company not making those type phones? Size was good ." Because they want you to spend more money, so newer phones are bigger, more delicate (so if screen breaks you decide to buy a new phone, rather then repairs it). They made battery non-replaceable, so again, you buy a new phone. J series is a phone for practical people, but specs suck.

  • if this phone is ugly I believe your totally blind :)

  • So ugly!

  • You deliberately mentioned some plastic phones made by Samsung. Why didn't you mention j7 prime and j5 prime? And dude, if you wanna compare just hold poco and Samsung a7 in your hand and feel the difference yourself. Poco do has sd 845 so it is obviously faster than a7 but what about other things? Its camera, display, build quality are just awful. And man this is what I felt. And one more thing i want to tell you, I am not a Xiaomi or other brand hater. I love mi8, honor10, p20 and others.

  • What ...really? Why should i burn by xiaomi and all. For me they are useless phones. And mate, everyone has different choices and opinions. I don't like them that's it. May be they are for you. What a useless thing you said.

  • Plastic = phones like Galaxy J4, Galaxy J4 +, Galaxy J6, Galaxy J6+.. Not Xiaomi Note 5, Mi A2 (with same processor like is phone), or if you want Xiaomi had phone (Note 5) with this processor more than year ago. So, Samsung is rhe one in low end and in mid that lack.. Everything (even rounded screens). Only S and Note series is good from Samsun mobile, rest.. Even Huawei/Honor have better phones in 200$ range. Shame.

  • appy ice in the burn area

  • Samsung galaxy A5 2015 model was awesome. Why company not making those type phones? Size was good .

  • camera not good

  • Mi A1

  • valid point that mate

  • A6s has ODM device it's pure Chinese phone not a samsung

  • You said correctly. Cheaper price but they are "cheap" in quality also. Plastic trash. If people need only one good spec then it is good, otherwise they are complete joke.

  • great mobile

  • Xiaomi made in china samsung a6s made in vietnam...enjoy your xiaomi ..

  • Useless phone. Just buy Xiaomi phone with cheaper price and same specs.

  • They have a device manager where you can scan and delete caches and even delete unnecessary ram. You're complaining but you dont know your phone well.

  • Extraordinary specifications for the price of € 270 release as soon as possible to Indonesia.

  • Although this A6s have a better processor than those found on A6 and A6+, the design is a kind of worse, I think

  • The front reminds me of the LG G6 and the back looks kind of fugly, I don't like the fingerprint sensor placement.

  • Nice work ...!! keep up the work.

  • You know Samsung laggy experience

  • since its Samsung's first ODM, would like to know the SAR value.

  • no bro it's ips lcd you can check youtube hands on review final specifications updating soon in GSM arena a6s renamed in indian variant rumours M series like M5

  • its super amoled bro. better than amoled

  • are you even reading? its super amoled my friend

  • why Samsung is deleting my opinion comment. i just wrote Samsung need more optimization on phone... it becomes laggy after 6 month. they need to focus on laggy cache management. iphone delete cache when phone is rebooted...samsung phone is NOT

  • No amoled display is to sad! Think Samsung.

  • no AMOLED disappointed maid by ODM bad move samsung really bad

  • why isnt 5.6 in - always on display - fingerprint side ????????

  • i wait for A6s because it will have 128 GB version and usb2 type c.1 reversible connector and therfore i think 300 usd is justified

  • Release date?

  • This looks interesting... Design reminds me of new Huawei honor series but still no notch, which is nice to see these days. Specs are "in place". But if price goes over 300$/270€ i think it wont be successful on the market.

  • No sure about this phone, however waiting for the S10 though!

  • no bro it has ips lcd this device is not a Samsung it's ODM phone her name is wintech logo only Samsung

  • Bullshit! it has sAMOLED

  • galaxy a6s display no AMOLED it's ips LCD panel it has not a Samsung device only ODM

  • 2010 phones are even more beautiful than those chinese notch + chin phones

  • if you like to reading or browsing this is good becuase width is may by more than other than ratio . i hope price come with only under 25k

  • Terrible design...welcome back to 2010. The Samsung marketing team should go out of their shiny offices and have a look at all the beautiful 250 dollars bezel less chinese phones...

  • Go get J2 pro then or Nokia 1, both this midget phone is perfect for you.

  • it has notification LED light

  • It probably will, like with other phones of this range.

  • It should be a great phone although for that thickness I would like to see bigger battery.

  • need quick charge support atleast 0 to full charge in 100min. display size could have been 5.5" 18:9 Ratio

  • below 20K successful otherwise floop

  • Is this for china?(only)

  • release fast! cant wait for the review

  • 3500 mAh battery will be better

  • Don't let the looks of the phone distract you from how good the phone actually is.

  • It was already criminal to seal the battery but to not add even water resistance is just highway robbery. Anyway, the looks of it will make it sell since people only care how pretty their phone looks. Even if 99.99% of the time other people are busy looking at their own phones. Lul.

  • I hope to come down in Egypt

  • Did not provided in this phone Always on display option and now never buy samsung phone because samsung did not give any function and get high rated amount of phone

  • Finally Samsung launches a winner in the budget market. Great news. Hopefully it will be a trend for other flagship makers. Thumbs up Samsung.

  • SD660 does not support 60fps, 7XX and 8XX do

  • No IP68, no buying.

  • So with this phone we can have 4k which most people don't care about but still no 1080p at 60fps!! Shame on you Samsung

  • I wonder why Samsung cannot make this phone by itself and had to have it made by a chinese company. Looks like an old Vivo or Oppo phone indeed. Hope it won't be the same crap.

  • Its not Samsung we knew. Its ODM phone. People keep being surprised. Samsung should put ODM in bracket at the back of the phone name. Lol.

  • Yeah, after reading every Chinese articles about the A6s and A9s I have found that none of them mentioned that the A6s has a Super AMOLED display but the A9s has it.

  • Oh crap. I should have waited for this phone ):

  • I wont say SD660 as something from a few years ago. This is not made by Samsung anyway.

  • Well you are right. In past like half year ago or so it was much less.

  • Actually, 270 euros are 308.46 dollars.

  • No, Wintech company manufacture this phone as well as Xiaomi's phones.

  • I'm Chinese, I can read Chinese, and there is NO indication from the launch that the A6s has an AMOLED panel. This is a lie that has been lifted from some English website where the author does not understand Chinese and probably mixed up the A9s announcement, which has a very obvious AMOLED announcement, with that of A6s which does not have it. But that is the problem with news sites nowadays, it's the blind leading the blind. To be very safe, check out Engadget's China news team reporting, which makes ZERO mention of A6s having an AMOLED panel:

  • I know this phone is not made by Samsung but an ODM. So I'm questioning the build quality if it's similar to the Samsung manufactured phones. I had bad experience with ODM since the phone I bought in the past has good build quality but the android os has malware connected in the settings app. This phone has a Samsung brand so I'm expecting this phone to run like an original samsung.

  • Still its very expensive with its current specs.

  • all Samsung dedicated slot super but Hybrid Dual SIM is bad poor bro only one dedicated slot like

  • Well Xiaomi manufactures it. That's why.

  • Well done Samsung.. Well done.. You have me reeled in. However, this move brings to my mind some questions. Real life experience as of late shows me that Samsung still has a solid loyal customer base that isn't going anytime soon. The reasons are that it's a well-established brand and that it's not some Chinese manufacturer. While these two reasons make my blood boil, it still holds true in my environment and I expect that Samsung can hold it's original position for longer, if not much longer. So, why the change of heart, Samsung? Does this imply that your competitors have become threatening enough that you have barged into their arena with a phone that speaks their language? Is it that even your flagships aren't quite cutting it with the profits as of late?

  • Looks like a cheap 150 dollars chinese phone from a few years ago...Samsung must be desperate to launch such a phone for 270 euros...S and Note series are now the only Samsung phones worth buying.

  • it is 300 dollars and won't be sold in america lol only the s series.

  • Im still deciding which phone to buy. A nokia android with sd710 or samsung... if nokia dont sell phones offline in my city, i might buy another samsung since I only buy phones in offline strores. I might buy this a6s if there are good reviews. Hoping it will be sold in my country sooner...

  • wow samsung made a dream midrange phone

  • Wow. I didn't know that. Quite possible it won't be available globally because it don't make sense to buy the a7 2018.

  • I convert it ,its actually 250 dollars (from Chinese market 1799 yuan) (+I saw it on a video)

  • Man 270 euros isnt 300 USD. 1 dollar is like 0,70 euros so 270 euros is like 400 USD and for 400 USD is just too much. Many countries awerage salary isnt 400 USD per month is a much less. So yes is very expensive. They should add at least 710 sbnapdragon. And A series was known for a IP68 rating this dont have even that.

  • This phone isn't made and designed by Samsung, other company manufacture this phone. Samsung just put a logo, install their UI and sell it.

  • 18:9 screen ratio? are you even Samsung? a Samsung should have an 18.5:9 screen ratio

  • samsung just did a amazing job !!!!!

  • for a china or global ????

  • whats the point of this phone? to cripple its own market segmentation even worse?

  • Not a samsung phone, but a ODM phone, Original design manufacturer. It isn't made by samsung, but by a different company, but with a samsung logo on it.

  • I mean, the A series are usually the bargain from Samsung but can still have most of the performance from the S and Note series. However, it does not mean that it is better to go for the bargain series because there will be disadvantages for the A series.

  • Pocophone f1

  • Camera section 12 mp rear and 12 mp front is taken from j series 2016-2017. Now old fashion. Really garbage savage.

  • now this is what we were waiting for nice! it has dual camera super amoled screen sd 660 6 gb ram now you are going through the right path thumbs up... and also the price what else do you want sammy take my money

  • Samsung Playing game with customers.

  • Best 'value for money' device among all Galaxies.

  • Will you get the same performance in other device with sd 660..and super amoled display in this price range? I don't think so😂

  • Very nice and symmetrical shape. I wish they would make a phone like this in 5" or 4" size.

  • No FM radio?!! :(

  • Ultra high price? Hahaha just only 300USD

  • What? A7 has exynos 7885 !!

  • man!!!!really?!?!is this the samsung we knew?sd 660,12 f1.8 main camera,back glass 6 inch display all of these for just 260 usd!!thats impressive considering the fact that its a samsung phone,eagerly waiting to be launched globally

  • Galaxy A6s with sd660 and new Galaxy a7 with sd450 !!!

  • Ok

  • Samsung A7 above they have NFC

  • 18:9 screen? are you even Samsung?

  • Worst phone ever because of NFC. Samsung Galaxy A series should have NFC.

  • The fact that they couldn't cope with the Chinese waves invasion due to always being smugly high and mighty is the sign of their downfall like Nokia used to

  • Another day anoother boring samsung device with ultra high price compared to very low specs with ultra poor selfie camera and outdated android 8.0 when Pie is already released for most devices .They did not even added 8.1. Shame for shamesung.

  • waste of money

  • The fingerprint sensor is too high

  • Boring
