More information about the likely successor to the Galaxy A05 (currently $109 on Amazon) has leaked online. To recap, the SM-A065 and its regional or dual-SIM variants have already cleared the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States and the Wi-Fi Alliance before hitting the market. While neither agency has revealed too many details about the SM-A065, its model number suggests that Samsung intends to sell the device as the Galaxy A06.
Additionally, it turns out that the same device has been tested countless times on Geekbench, evidence of which is embedded below. On the one hand, the listings associate the SM-A065 model number with the “A06” sales name, while confirming that there will be a general model sold as the “SM-A065F.” On the other hand, the listings highlight a few details about the device, such as Android 14 being pre-installed. Unfortunately, it seems that the Galaxy A06 will carry over much of its predecessor’s hardware.
For example, all relevant Geekbench listings refer to the SM-A065F featuring an ARM MT6769V/CZ processor, which is associated with the ARM implementer identifier 65 architecture 8 variant 3 part 3338 revision 1. In other words, the Galaxy A06 appears to be powered by the same MediaTek Helio G85 processor as the Galaxy A05, which combines Cortex-A55 and Cortex-A75 CPU cores with a Mali-G52 MP2 Mali-G52 MP2 MALI-G52 MP2 processor. Additionally, we only find references to models with 4GB of RAM, which is another similarity between the Galaxy A06 and its predecessor. Other details like the release date and price remain unknown at this point.
