Samsung has been having difficulties selling their smartphones in China and its environs like before with strong competition from Chinese OEMs posing a significant threat. This had made the tech giants make some changes in its line of production which birth the first ODM Samsung phone. What this means is that the Samsung Galaxy A6s was contracted to be made by another Chinese (Original Design Manufacturer) company. The deal was made in a bid to cut production cost to compensate for the low sales. However, this change is only going to apply to the midrange to low budget smartphones.

Design and Display
When it comes to mid-range smartphone build, the Samsung Galaxy A6s does well against the competition with its impressive glass body. Going with the gradient look, there are Black, White, Blue, Pink and Red colour options to choose from.
The rear is flat and smooth with a fingerprint scanner at the top central position and the camera lined on top of each other at the side. The bezels around the screen are very much visible with not much of an effort to hide them.
On the front of the phone, you’ll find an average sized 6.0-inch display in an 18:9 aspect ratio. The fact that the display type is AMOLED is a good thing with its crispness and detailed colour reproduction. In addition, the 1080 x 2160 pixels is a good enough resolution.
Battery and Camera
Not much of a battery juggernaut, the Samsung Galaxy A6s comes with a mediocre battery. You can enjoy a fair daily activity on the smartphone with a 3, 300mAh battery inside the phone. Even if you won’t be having wireless charging on the smartphone, you’re most likely to get a quick charge on it.
Moreso, the camera on the phone is a decent midrange offering which includes the popular rear dual feature. The selfie side is home to a 12MP camera and to the back is a combo of another 12MP camera accompanied by a 2MP depth focus lens.
Hardware and Software
Behind the nice looking body lies a capable Octa-core SoC which, by the way, is a mid-range one. All the task on the smartphone goes to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor and Adreno 512 GPU. In addition, it has 64GB or 128GB stored in storage space with an added possibility of taking it up by 512GB via a Micro SD card. Also, you’ll find 6GB RAM on the phone and Android 8.0 on board too.
