Galaxy A6 and A6+ won't stay unofficial for long
Retailers do seem to be stocking up on Galaxy A6 and A6+ related accessories, as renders of both devices in an official Samsung case were leaked earlier today. These renders showcase the Infinity displays on the phones, the single and dual rear cameras on the A6 and A6+ respectively, and a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. The design looks similar to the Galaxy A8 and Galaxy A8+, although the presence of a microUSB port and the known specs of these handsets paint the picture of mid-range phones similar to last year's Galaxy A5 (2017) and Galaxy A7 (2017). Only the Infinity display and the A6+' dual rear cameras are expected to be the upgrades on offer; the microUSB port, meanwhile, will be a downgrade, considering the A5 and A7 from last year had USB Type-C ports.
The Galaxy A6 firmware can be downloaded from our firmware database. As expected, the OS version is Android 8.0 Oreo, and it includes the April 2018 security patch. The build number is A600FJXU1ARD7.
