The A6+ review: Samsung’s latest midrange trump

●

At ` 25,990, the Samsung Galaxy A6+ has a lot to help the South Korean giant regain the consumer’s confidence. The A6+ features the nowcommon Infinity Display with a taller 18: 9 form factor. The 6- inch FHD+ sAMOLED panel renders rich and vivid colours with deep blacks. Viewing angles are pretty wide, brightness levels and sunlight legibility is at its best.

The A6+ is powered by a 1.8GHz SD450 and offers up to 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage, which can be expanded up to 256GB. The custom Samsung Experience 9.0 UI based on Android 8.0 Oreo is there to look after the errands. When it comes to daily usage, the A6+ puts up a decent show. Apps open smoothly without noticeable stutters or lags. Samsung’s custom UI is reasonably fluid, with intuitive animations. The Snapdragon 450 is at its best while handling casual games, but it runs out of breath when you play some resource intensive titles.

Since it’s a Samsung device, exclusive apps feature here, which include such as Samsung Pay Mini, Bixby and Always On display.

The A6+ also impresses with the Dolby Atmos audio tuning through the headphone jack. However, the onboard loud speaker’s audio quality isn’t as impressive as we expected. Also, the face unlock takes a few seconds to unlock even in brightlylit environments.

The A6+ also boasts of a dual 16MP+ 5MP camera setup on the rear with f/ 1.7 and f/ 1.9 apertures, respectively. In daylight, the captured photos turn out to be pretty good — an adequate amount of details with the right balance of

It boasts of a dual 16MP+ 5MP colours and contrasts are seen with natural colours and sharpness. On the front, the phone features a 24MP sensor for selfies, with a f/ 1.9 aperture and an LED flash. It captures pretty good selfies, with ample details, along with portrait mode for bokeh effects. Lastly, the Galaxy A6+ is fuelled by a 3500mAh battery, which helps keep the device alive for regular day- to- day tasks, with around 5- 6 hours of runtime.
