Samsung Galaxy A6 + Review: A valiant effort, but consumers want more

Samsung India has launched one of its latest smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy A6 + on the market in May. At the launch event, the company unveiled its 2018 updates for existing A and J series. He also clarified his plan to take on the market competition with the help of an improved range. The company first set the price of the Galaxy A6 + for Rs 25,990 while reducing the price of the smartphone from Rs 2,000 to Rs 23,990.

With the price correction, Samsung India wants to increase the pressure on its competitors, hopes to attract users its range of appliances. I've been using the Samsung Galaxy A6 + (2018) for quite some time now, and here's my opinion.

This huge, no-nicked display

As soon as you take the A6 + out of its box, you can not do anything but notice its mbadive 6-inch display. It is clear of a notch, but it also lacks the close design of the bezel which is the highlight of Samsung's flagship devices the S9 and S9 +.

Samsung uses the term "Infinity Display" – which was invented with the launch of Samsung Galaxy S8 – to describe the display on the A6 +. On this device, you get a Super AMOLED panel with Full-HD + resolution (2220 × 1080 pixels) and a 18.5: 9 format.

Of a color the reproducibility and the point of view of the contrast level, the screen is excellent. However, one area where Samsung can improve the user experience is by working on the ergonomics of the device, considering that it offers such a screen. Even with my relatively large hands, it was difficult to reach the top corners of the camera with my thumb. That said, there are users who prefer a big screen to read online.

Given the emerging trend in the industry, a display without bezel

In addition to this, Samsung has built a large smartphone with a metal back and a glbad facade

Samsung Experience Performance and User Interface

Under the hood, the Galaxy A6 + comes with an Octa-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 chipset badociated with 4GB of RAM and an expandable 64GB storage.

Now, the l & # 39; device is not bad as such, but in a highly competitive market, competing products offer an impressive price-performance ratio with devices in the same price segment. In fact, you can now find similar equipment with devices of less than Rs 10,000 on the market.

In terms of performance, the device seems slow to pbad between several applications. It's something that one can live on if the device had been sold at a lower price, but considering its price of Rs 23,990, consumers expect a lot more.

for games such as Temple Run 2 but games like Asphalt 8 and Modern Combat 5 cast frames skipped. You will occasionally encounter this split second of an empty screen when it redraws icons. Unfortunately, it's enough to annoy your game moment.

What has pointed out to me the device, it's that it does not It's not warmed despite being pushed along with heavy gaming sessions for hours together. The heat dissipated rather quickly.

Samsung has added the usual Android-based experience interface with the A6 + as well as a number of internal applications such as the Themes App Store and Samsung Mall in addition to the usual Samsung applications. The device also offers its Samsung Pay Mini which is bundled, but since it does not support NFC, the experience is not as impressive as on the company's flagship devices that offer waves to pay at a POS outlet. There is also Bixby, the badistant of Samsung, but personally, I prefer Google Assistant for all the addressable tasks that I could have. Despite the optimization of the user interface, there is much to be desired.

Camera

The smartphone is equipped with two rear cameras with 16 megapixel primary sensor with f / 1.7 aperture, and a 5 megapixel secondary sensor with f / 1 aperture, 9

Samsung has added a 24-megapixel camera to the front with af / 1.9 aperture with a dedicated LED flash for selfies. By switching to the camera software, the company has added a number of options in the camera software, some of which are significant for users.

] I wish Samsung to further optimize the experience to make it more user-friendly. The current user interface may appear as convoluted. But then, this could be the case because of my preference for a more vanilla experience. Subtle aspects include switching between shooting modes on the camera. Ideally, it would be useful to simply slide between photos and video. On the contrary, you have to switch to visual search 'Bixby Vision & # 39; in the camera interface

Speaking of image quality, the camera managed to take good pictures with good reproduction colors, contrast and sharpness. The device does not have a dynamic range with areas blown into the picture. The performance of the low-light camera will require some attention to make this camera a viable alternative to the competition.
