Samsung is gearing up to launch the Galaxy A06, the successor to the entry-level Galaxy A05, which was released last October. Recent Geekbench listings have provided insight into the new model, revealing some interesting details.
Key Findings from Geekbench
Processor and Performance
The Galaxy A06 will be powered by the same MediaTek Helio G85 SoC as its predecessor, the Galaxy A05. The Geekbench listing shows the prototype achieved a single-core score of 1,644 and a multi-core score of 5,326. These numbers are from Geekbench 4.2.0, not the newer 6.x version.
Memory and Operating System
The benchmarked A06 unit had 6GB of RAM, consistent with one version of the A05. The device ran on Android 14, which will be the operating system at launch.
Connectivity
The Galaxy A06 has been certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance, confirming it supports dual-band Wi-Fi 5 (802.11a/b/g/n/ac).
Expected Specifications
While specific details about the A06 are limited, it’s useful to review the specifications of the Galaxy A05 to get an idea of what might carry over or change:
| Feature | Galaxy A05 Specifications | Galaxy A06 Expected Specifications |
|---|---|---|
| Display | 6.7-inch 720×1600 LCD | Similar or slightly upgraded |
| Processor | MediaTek Helio G85 | MediaTek Helio G85 |
| RAM | 4/6GB | 6GB |
| Storage | 64/128GB (expandable) | Likely similar |
| Main Camera | 50 MP + 2 MP depth sensor | Similar or minor improvements |
| Selfie Camera | 8 MP | Similar or minor improvements |
| Battery | 5,000 mAh, 25W wired charging | Similar or minor improvements |

| Connectivity | Wi-Fi 5 (802.11a/b/g/n/ac) | Wi-Fi 5 (802.11a/b/g/n/ac) |
Summary
The Galaxy A06 will maintain the same MediaTek Helio G85 chipset as the Galaxy A05, suggesting that significant performance improvements might not be the focus of this model. However, with Android 14 and potential minor upgrades in other areas, the A06 could still offer a competitive package in the entry-level segment.
Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the official launch of the Samsung Galaxy A06.
