Samsung Galaxy A06 5G (2025) Dual SIM Smartphone 4GB+128GB - Light Green

I did quite a bit of research on phones and talked to others before buying this as my switch to a 5G compatible phone, given it is an 'enforced' switch and my old phone is still fine so I was concerned about phone performance but didn't want to spend much. The quality of Samsung does shine through. Whilst many websites recommend 6GB RAM or more so that the phone will be fast enough, and various other recommendations, the detail is important. A deeper dig reveals not all chips can be directly compared and their ability to process in terms of reliability and speed, even if comparing a 4GB RAM to another, can vary widely.

A deeper dig reveals not all chips can be directly compared and their ability to process in terms of reliability and speed, even if comparing a 4GB RAM to another, can vary widely. Many articles were too simplistic in their recommendations. I've used this phone intensely for a few months now and had zero performance issues and am impressed by responsiveness and all round performance. Activities include streaming high resolution video, countless website interactions (both work and pleasure), including online transactions, emails, social media and various location and other specialty apps. In all of these it has responded much faster than my former 4GB RAM phone (Huawei) and the sound and screen are a pleasure. Screen colour rendition, refresh, sound range, switching between apps and back have all been excellent. A bonus is the screen dimensions match movie format so you get the full screen breadth on this phone through netflix (some other streaming sites do not take advantage of this e.g. TVNZ+). I'm not a gamer so can't comment on gaming performance at all, and would expect gamers to go for a higher spec chip. Amazing for the price, given the performance I would have happily paid more.

bought this to upgrade my old samsung s9 that was finally getting grumpy and slow enough to almost give up on me on my way to work, been using it for alittle while now but im really enjoying it bought this to upgrade my old samsung s9 that was finally getting grumpy and slow enough to almost give up on me on my way to work, been using it for alittle while now but im really enjoying it

Runs apps that I needed. One critique is that it seems to not have a permanent notification when the screen is off when I have received a message on an app, like a flashing green light my old phone used to have - so I have to turn the screen on to check if I've received messages lately.

The auto dimming over-compensates but otherwise the phone does what I want it to do. Overall quality pretty good. The auto dimming over-compensates but otherwise the phone does what I want it to do. Overall quality pretty good.

Intuitive enough that an elderly person can mostly setup and use on their own. We really like that the phone can tell you if a caller is suspicious or blocks them outright if they are a known scam caller. This is a major plus for the phone as scams are running rampant nowadays. We do wish that it was a bit smaller, while the larger screen is good for poor eyesight it is a touch too big to easily store in a pocket. Also the sound could be louder.

Does what I expect a smartphone to do, get through all the nonsensical apps in the shortest time possible so I can get on with my life in the real world. In that regards the phone works well since its fast enough that i dont have to spend too long looking at it. fair price i bought it for.
