The Galaxy A06 is a new Samsung smartphone that doesn't seem to offer any notable improvements over the Galaxy A05. We've talked about the Galaxy A06 before as the phone was recently spotted on Geekbench and some renders were leaked online. Noted Leaker Evan Blass has obtained official images showing the Galaxy A06 in three different colors: black, gold and white. In terms of design, the Galaxy A06 looks very similar to the Galaxy A05, except that the matte finish has been replaced with a sort of striped pattern.
Unfortunately, the Galaxy A06 is not much different in terms of hardware either. According to a benchmark test, the Galaxy A06 is equipped with the same Helio G85 processor, a very old chipset (MediaTek launched it back in 2020).
In addition, the Galaxy A06 will have the same display as the Galaxy A05, meaning it will come with a 6.7-inch HD+ panel. We also expect it to have the same storage capacity: 4/64GB, 4/128GB and 6/128GB.
Just like the Galaxy A05, the successor will be powered by a 5,000mAh battery with 25W charging support. As for the camera, we are looking at a dual-camera setup that includes 50 main and 2 macro sensors. A secondary 8-megapixel secondary camera should also be available.

The only major difference between the two phones seems to be the fact that the Galaxy A06 will feature a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. Of course, the upcoming smartphone will run Android 14 out of the box.
Other than that, there don't seem to be any other differences between the two devices, so if you use the Galaxy A05 as your everyday device, there's little reason to upgrade to the upcoming Galaxy A06.
Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy A06 sometime in September, but that's just a guess.
