Question Samsung A Series: A05/A06

[Dio]

Hello, I'm considering buying Samsung A05/A06. My usual activity involves playing casual games, such as idle games, browsing, chatting, watching anime, and watching movies. Is it a good choice to buy Samsung A05/A06? Or do you have any other recommendations?

A05 is better in gaming more than a06 (a bit)

See GSMArena's recent A06 review, they list the few minor differences to the A05.

The A15 4G, or A16 would be a better purchase. Also the Redmi Note 13 4g, Poco M6 etc.
I saw your other thread about high prices in Pakistan so I don't know.
@Golfdriver97 did also recommend the A15 and a new member bought one recently and was happy.

See if Mi. com have a website there with daily deals on Redmi models. I have an older Xiaomi / Poco F2 and very happy with it still.

I tried to find the Poco M6 in both online and offline markets, but it's not available anymore. Even with the discount, A16 is still expensive at around 55,000 Rupees. Can you tell me which mobile phone is better, the A15 or the Redmi Note 13 4G?

There are so many parameters you have to compare and decide which is best for you, if affordable. If you can view them in a store you could feel or see the build quality of each.

The A15 has a generally better processor and longer software support.

I take it the A16 at 55,000 is the 4G version and the A16 5g costs more.

The Redmi apparently may feel slower / sluggish but generally has a good 120 hz screen and good cameras.

I think the Redmi Note 13 will get Android 14,15 and 16 with Security updates until around December 2027.
Apparently it's getting Android 15 and the new HyperOS (MIUI) UI now.

Samsung say the A15 will get 4 OS updates to Android 18 and has about 4 years left of the 5 year security updates promised from launch.

Yes the A15 needs a charger and will charge at up to 25W.
Redmi is a nice phone, not a minimal spec model, but may feel slower.

Good luck.
