How about we discover in the Galaxy A6+ audit here.

Cameras 

The Samsung Galaxy A6+ is outfitted with the Dual back cameras — 16MP sensor with f/1.7 gap and a 5MP with f/1.9 gap. 

The camera is incredible catches still photographs with awesome subtle elements and sharpness. They are additionally very much soaked, have a considerable amount of dynamic range and the hues are normal also. The low light photographs additionally end up being OK with great immersion.

Performance

The area where A6+ has failed to live up to the price is on the performance front. The “mediocre” at best Snapdragon 450 processor is usually seen on devices that sell for a relatively low price. If you compare it with Oppo F7 (Read review) or the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 AI (Read review), the A6+ falls short by a good margin.

On to the real-time performance, using light apps like Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram is smooth and you won’t feel the lag. But, it’s not blazingly fast, and apps opening takes a little bit of time. The good thing is there was no major throttling going on and you won’t experience heating after long chatting session.

As for gaming, low-end to mid-tier games are playable at respectable frame rates, but you will notice occasional frame drops while playing high-end games and you will get better gaming phones with better frame rates below this price tag. So, if you are into performance and gaming, you should be looking somewhere else.

Sensors

Well, talking about the sensor, you do get a snappy fingerprint sensor along with the face unlock which also gets the job done. There’s also a gyro sensor for those interested in Virtual Reality.

Battery

What has impressed me is the 3,500 mAh battery which easily lasts for a day and a half under heavy usage. The drawback, however, is that it takes a while to juice up. With no fast charging, the stock charger takes around 3 hours to charge.

I use the S9 Plus as my daily driver and I am used to fast charging, so waiting for 3 hours to get fully charged on A6+ was frustrating at times. But, if you are not used to fast charging, it won’t bother you much.

Conclusion

The Galaxy A6+ is Samsung’s answer to the growing number of Chinese smartphones that have started dominating the mid-range market. With this device, Samsung has fallen short on the performance front, as it underperforms for what it is worth. But it does make up for it with superb cameras – both front and back, outstanding battery life, stunning design, and top-quality display. So, if you are not much of a performance geek, you should definitely give the Galaxy A6+ a look.
