What was the original and final price of the Samsung Galaxy A6 in the Philippines?

The Samsung Galaxy A6 was officially launched in the Philippines on June 9, 2018, with a starting price of Php 16,490 for the 3GB + 32GB variant. By August 2018, Samsung implemented a price cut, reducing its SRP to Php 13,490.

What are the key specifications of the Samsung Galaxy A6?

Based on our reviews and hands-on reports, the Samsung Galaxy A6 (2018) features a 5.6-inch HD+ (720x1480) Super AMOLED display with an 18.5:9 aspect ratio, a Samsung Exynos 7870 octa-core processor, 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of expandable storage. It has a 16MP rear camera (f/1.7) and a 16MP front camera (f/1.9) with a dedicated LED flash. It is powered by a 3,000mAh battery, runs Android 8.0 Oreo, and includes a rear fingerprint scanner and Dolby Atmos-tuned loudspeaker.

How did the Galaxy A6 compare to its competitors in 2018?

In our 4-way comparison with the Huawei Nova 3i, OPPO F7, and Vivo V9, we noted the Galaxy A6 had a smaller 5.6-inch HD+ display compared to the larger, Full HD+ screens of its rivals. Its design used a metal frame, but it was outperformed in display quality and screen-to-body ratio by the others. The competition was tight in the Php 15k to Php 20k segment, with each phone having different strengths in design, display, and camera features.
