Samsung Galaxy A6<\/h4>\n

For those who want to get more out of a more affordable smartphone, the Galaxy A6 features an immersive screen, powerful camera and a new level of convenience.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s consumers are enjoying and sharing more photos and videos than ever, and the Super AMOLED Infinity Display on the Galaxy A6 brings your content to life with bright, rich colors. Support for expandable storage up to 400GB[1] offers plenty of room for videos, music and files.<\/p>\n

With 16MP front and rear cameras, you can capture stunning photos and selfies, and the F1.7 aperture on the rear camera helps keep your pictures bright and clear in low-light settings like gorgeous sunsets and nights out on the town. Plus, the camera gives you a smarter way to use your phone. Instantly shop for something you see with or translate foreign text to help you navigate new cities or even menus with Bixby[2].<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s phones need to have the essential features and capabilities that simplify life, make every day easier and help you get more done. With an entire ecosystem of unique Samsung devices and services at your fingertips, it\u2019s easy to connect the Galaxy A6 to your Samsung Galaxy Watch, pair Gear IconX fitness earbuds, or monitor and control your connected devices with the SmartThings app.<\/p>\n\n

When so much that happens in life happens on our phone, security matters. Choose how you want to unlock your device with convenient security options integrated from Samsung\u2019s flagship phones, including convenient hassle-free fingerprint scan and facial recognition. You can also feel confident knowing your information is safe with defense-grade, multi-layered protection from Samsung Knox built into the device.<\/p>\n

The Samsung Galaxy A6 will be available in the U.S. on Samsung.com for the manufacturer\u2019s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $359.99 starting on September 14, and at more carrier partners[3] in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
