Samsung Galaxy A6 gets certified by Wi-Fi Alliance; may launch soon

Samsung Galaxy A6 and Galaxy A6+ are two mid-range smartphones that will be launching soon. The smartphones were recently spotted on Geekbench. The Galaxy A6 has now been certified by Wi-Fi Alliance. The device is listed on the certification site with model number SM-A600FN. The website doesn't reveal much about the Galaxy A6, besides that it will run on Android 8.0 right out of the box.

As stated, the Samsung Galaxy A6 last week visited Geekbench along with the Galaxy A6+. Talking about the specifications, the Galaxy A6 (SM-A600FN) was listed on Geekbench with an Exynos 7870 SoC which is an octa-core processor. The processor is teamed with 3GB of RAM and Mali-T830 MP1 GPU. The Galaxy A3 (2017) and many phones in the Galaxy J series are powered by the same chipset.

The Galaxy A6+ (SM-A605G), on the other hand, seems to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor. The smartphone also has Adreno 506 GPU and has 4GB of RAM onboard. Both the Galaxy A6 and Galaxy A6+ run on Android 8.0 Oreo operating system, which sound impressive on paper.

Do note that Samsung had not any Galaxy A6 models previously, whereas the Galaxy A5 and Galaxy A7 series are there. Presumably these models could be the first phones in the Galaxy A6 series.

Looking at the benchmark results, the Galaxy A6 and Galaxy A6+ will not differ much in terms of performance. The former scored 2605 points on the multi-core test and 723 points on the single core test. Whereas the Galaxy A6+ obtained 739 points in the single core test and 3469 points in the multi-core test.
