The Samsung Galaxy A6s is an Android mid-tier smartphone developed by Samsung Electronics, forming part of the Samsung Galaxy A series. Officially unveiled on October 24, 2018, it marks Samsung's first device manufactured externally by Wingtech rather than Samsung itself. Released alongside the Samsung Galaxy A9s, this model primarily targets consumers within the Chinese market.
A standout characteristic of the device is its 6-inch LCD Infinity Display featuring curved edges, reminiscent of those found on the Galaxy A8 and A9 (2018) models.
Specifications
The device sports a 6.0-inch Full HD+ PLS TFT LCD panel with an aspect ratio of 18:9. Departing from prior entries in the Samsung Galaxy A series, it opts for an LCD screen instead of a Super AMOLED display. The screen incorporates curved edges similar to the Infinity Display on the S9 but includes more prominent bezels and lacks a fully curved display.
Its dual rear camera arrangement consists of a primary 12 MP sensor with an f/1.8 aperture for standard photography and a secondary 5 MP sensor dedicated to depth sensing, enabling effects like bokeh. The front-facing camera is equipped with a 12 MP sensor.
Running on Android version 8.1.0 "Oreo" accompanied by Samsung Experience version 9.5 out of the box, the handset is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC. This chipset integrates an octa-core CPU featuring four Kryo 260 cores clocked at 2.2 GHz for performance tasks and four Kryo 260 cores running at 1.8 GHz for efficiency, coupled with an Adreno 512 GPU. The device offers configurations with 6 GB or 8 GB of RAM and provides either 64 GB or 128 GB of internal storage, expandable up to an additional 256 GB through a dedicated MicroSD card slot.
Availability
The A6s was exclusively launched in China starting November 2018. There have been no indications of intentions to distribute this model in any other regions.
