Cameras are good for its price range

Sporting the same camera module found on the more expensive Galaxy A8 (2018), we have more or less set our expectations with the Galaxy A6 (2018)’s overall camera performance. While you lose several features such as digital video image stabilization and hyperlapse, we managed to get decent snaps with the rear camera, though the 16-megapixel f/1.7 snapper tends to struggle a bit when it comes to low light.

As for features, you get a Pro mode, a Sports mode, and a dedicated Night mode if you want to get decent low-light snaps from the rear camera. For the 16-megapixel f/1.9 front camera, we got decent selfies—provided that you have decent lighting to boot. Like the Galaxy A8 (2018), you get stickers and beauty mode on the Galaxy A6 (2018) if you feel extra creative with your selfies.

Battery life is straight out impressive (if not insane)

While you only get a 3000mAh battery with the Galaxy A6 (2018), what makes this phone impressive is how battery efficient it is. Based on our test using PCMark, the Galaxy A6 (2016) scored almost 12 hours, which is quite insane. To give you some perspective, the Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus scored almost 12 and a half hours with PCMark while sporting a larger 4000mAh battery. This ranks the Galaxy A6 (2018) as one of the most power-efficient phones (battery size-to-battery life ratio, that is) we have reviewed in 2018.

With its impressive battery life, one should not worry about the absence of fast charging in the Galaxy A6 (2018). As our daily driver, it managed to last us for almost 1 and a half days before we needed to top up the battery via its MicroUSB port.
