Front of the Samsung Galaxy A8.
We believed that Samsung had already closed the mid-range / premium catalog for this 2018 until the rumors of two new terminals began to appear. These were called the Galaxy A6 and Galaxy A6 +, a more logical continuation of the Galaxy A5 family. During the last weeks the rumors and leaks of these two new devices have gained a lot of force. Panoramic screen, metallic design, double camera and Exynos processor are some of the characteristics that the two models will have. We have compiled the most outstanding information and leaks. This is all we know so far.
Design
The design of the Samsung Galaxy A6 and Galaxy A6 + from 2018 has never been a secret. The terminal has been leaked on more than one occasion through renders and official images. The first renders already suggested two models of different sizes. The Galaxy A6 +, of course, will be larger than the Galaxy A6. In addition, this larger model will have a double camera. The rear of the terminal, as well as the frames, would be made of aluminum, with a completely glass front. The back reminds us of other Samsung terminals, with a band that collects the camera (double in the case of the plus model) and the fingerprint reader. On the side, the LED flash. Right in the center, the Samsung logo. The Korean firm has not wanted to hide the bands with the antennas, and they are noticeable at the top and bottom.
On the front, a screen with 18: 9 format and minimal frames. At the bottom we find nothing, the buttons are directly on the screen. In the upper area, front camera, LED flash, speaker for calls and sensors. On the right side, power button and main speaker. Left area, navigation button and tray for SIM cards. In the lower area, USB type C connector and 3.5 mm Jack for headphones.
Screen data

The Samsung Galaxy A6 and Galaxy A6 + will have a panel with an 18: 9 aspect ratio, just like the new Samsung Galaxy A8. Although in this case, the screen will not have rounded corners. The technology used in the panel is SuperAMOLED. The Galaxy A6 will have a screen size of 5.6 inches with Full HD + resolution (1260 x 1080 pixels). The Samsung Galaxy A6 + will have a larger screen, specifically, 6 inches, also with Full HD + resolution. This latest model could have rounded corners on the screen.
Processor, RAM, storage and Android version
Yes, we also have data on the Hardware of the two future models. Exynos will be the processor of choice for the two models. Specifically, the Exynos 7870, with eight cores, although in other markets it could include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor. In the case of the normal model, it will be accompanied by 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage. In the Galaxy A6 + 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage. Lastly, Mali-T830 MP1 GPU at 700Mhz for both versions.
The Android version of the two devices is 8.0 Oreo with Samsung's customization layer, Experience. The customization layer will be similar to the Galaxy A8. We do not know if it will include Bixby, Samsung's assistant, which is present in the 2018 A8.
Camera on the Galaxy A6 and cameras on the Galaxy A6 +
Samsung Galaxy A6 +
Design leaks have shown that the Galaxy A6 will have a main lens. This would be 16 megapixels, like the front camera. On the other hand, the Galaxy A6 + would have a double camera. We don't know the specs of the dual lens, but it could also be 16 megapixels. On the other hand, the second lens would be used for portrait mode, with the possibility of choosing the degree of blur. In addition to the popular 2X Zoom.
Differences between the Galaxy A6 and Galaxy A6 +
Without a doubt, the main difference of these models is in the screen size and cameras. The Galaxy A6 + will be the largest, at 0.4 inches more. On the other hand, this model will have a double camera, which will surely do the blur and 2x zoom function. We also see a difference in RAM and storage with 1GB less for the Galaxy A6 2018 and double the GB of storage for the Galaxy A6 +.
Presentation date, price and availability
At the moment, we do not know the price of these devices, but according to rumors, it could be around 300 or 400 euros. Availability is also anyone's guess. But other rumors suggested that at least the Samsung Galaxy A6 will arrive in Europe. We do not know if the Galaxy A6 + will also do it, but we will not take long to know. The official presentation date has not been discovered either, although we could see them during this summer.
