NotebookCheck | Manuel Masiero

The Samsung Galaxy A6 (2018) is a good mid-range smartphone, which performs worse than its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017), in a number of areas.

Phone Scoop | Eric M. Zeman

This is a really solid phone for the money, and it competes well with similar offerings from Motorola and others. That's why I think the Galaxy A6 makes for a great teen phone, or something for someone who doesn't want all the bells and whistles.

Firstpost | Rupali Pangtey

Samsung Galaxy A6 Plus is an overpriced phone which offers an amazing display and little else.

The Economic Times | Karan Bajaj

You have to be a Samsung loyalist to buy this. If you need the best bang for your buck, look elsewhere.

AndroidPit | Nicholas Montegriffo

The HTC U12+ could have been a real hit: it offers a classic and chic design, no notch, no more buttons and two dual cameras. In the end, however, it's still a few small points away from being a completely impressive device.

Android Central | Harish Jonnalagadda

The Galaxy A6+ misses out on core features that define a mid-range Samsung phone in 2018. There really isn't any reason to consider the device when there are much better alternatives available at the same price point.

91mobiles | Shekhar Thakran

The Galaxy A6+ looks premium and feels like a flagship. To put it simply, the Galaxy A6+ is a good smartphone for those who want a really capable device for multimedia consumption.

TechRadar | Andrew Williams

The Samsung Galaxy A6 is a smart-looking phone with one too many dated elements, given the price.

phoneArena | Victor Hristov

Summing it all up, the Galaxy A6 (2018) is a compact and elegant phone, with compact being the key word. Unfortunately, the Galaxy A6 is also a phone of compromise, and it feels like Samsung is asking is a bit too much for this phone.

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM Only deals do not include plans shorter than 30 days or Pay As You Go rates.
  • We work really hard to get accurate prices from as many providers as possible, but some deals or providers may not be included; if there’s anything we’ve missed then please get in touch and let us know.
  • Whenever we can, we will let you know if a deal is time limited (such as a flash deal), and when the deal expires.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty.
