The Ultimate Review
The Samsung Galaxy A6s is a device in the mid price range with some good features and decent hardware. The device is fairly price and offers a big 6.0 inch screen.
The cameras take good pictures in the daylight but the night photography suffers a bit and you can see some noise and grain in the shots.
The battery life on the device is good and lasts for a day and a half with moderate usage. It takes about 2-3 hours to go from 0 to 100.
Buy this device if you are a fan of Samsung otherwise there are much better devices in the market that offer better features in the same price range. The colors on the device are interesting with gradients that immediately attract you towards the smartphone.
