PROS –

Average screen to body ratio that is approximately 75.3%.
411 ppi pixel density.
Good Neat design
Camera Pictures are Good.
3500mAh battery
CONS –
Lack of fast charging
Low light camera pictures suffer a little bit from noise and loss of detail.
The Samsung Galaxy A6+ is a mid range device from Samsung and has many great features with good specifications that are worth noticing in the price range in which it is being sold.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 chipset paired with 3/4 GB RAM has great performance and optimization.
The cameras click great pictures in the natural daylight conditions and the color reproduction and the image details are easily handled by the camera AI.
The battery of the device easily lasts for 1.5 days on a single charge but does not have the fast charging functionality that could have made it a better device. It lacks USB type - C connector and still has Micro USB 2.0.
The device is worth the price and offers good performance in the price range it is offered. If you are a Samsung fan then go for it.
