The screen is HD+ at 60Hz, the MediaTek Helio G85 chip is slow, and the camera produces the kind of images you&#8217;d describe as &#8220;fine, for the price.&#8221; It launched in August 2024 for around $95, and it shows.<\/p>\n<p>So, you might wonder where this article is going. It&#8217;s that the A06 packs in a whole load of features folks are crying out for on much more expensive smartphones in 2026: a headphone jack, removable storage, an FM radio, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>All this on a phone that costs less than my headphones, and all the features that are notably absent on my smartphone that costs around 16x more \u2014 all for seemingly less.<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                                                           &#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/this-95-android-phone-has-features-my-1000-flagship-still-doesnt\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This $95 Android phone has features my $1,000 flagship still doesn&#8217;t \u2014 and I can&#8217;t&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":266593,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/static0.makeuseofimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/samsung-galaxy-a06-smartphone-background.jpg?w=1600&h=900&fit=crop","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[86],"class_list":["post-266592","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-android","tag-samsung"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266592"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=266592"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266592\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":266594,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266592\/revisions\/266594"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/266593"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=266592"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=266592"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=266592"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
