Samsung Galaxy A6 and A6+ are now official: affordable phones with Super AMOLED screens and aspiring cameras
Samsung has just unveiled two new affordable phones and both of them feature gorgeous AMOLED screens - a rarity in cheap phone that usually have LCD displays - with very small bezels, run on the latest Android 8.0 Oreo and come with a focus on camera quality: enter the new Galaxy A6 and the Galaxy A6+.

Both new Galaxies look very similar in terms of look and styling, except for the difference in pure size: after all, the A6 comes with a 5.6" display, while the A6+ features a 6.0-inch screen.

So what else is special about these two affordable phones? Apart from the beautiful screens, the two come with capable front-facing cameras with a dedicated LED flash for selfie enthusiasts.

Here is a quick look at the specifications for the Galaxy A6 and A6+:


The most notable difference between the A6 and the A6+, however, might be that the bigger A6+ also comes with dual rear cameras and the second one is used to enable the Live Focus effect for blurred backgrounds in photos, a look similar to what you get on professional cameras. It's a great thing to see this advanced feature in a phone that is not so expensive.

The other benefit of buying the bigger A6+ is its larger battery: it has a 3,500mAh cell, while the regular A6 features a 3,000mAh battery. Both phones also come with NFC and Samsung Pay for convenient wallet-free transactions.
