Samsung today announced the Galaxy A6 and A6+, mid-range phones that for the first time adopt its Infinity Display. The smaller A6 has a 5.6-inch screen with 1,480 by 720 pixels and the larger A6+ has a 6-inch screen with 2,220 by 1,080 pixels, giving them each an 18.5:9 aspect ratio. Shared features between the two phones include Dolby Atmos audio, face recognition and fingerprint scanning, Samsung Pay, Bixby, and Android 8 Oreo. The phones pack NFC, Cat 6 LTE, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, microUSB, and memory card support.

Galaxy A6: The A6 has an octa-core processor clocked at 1.6 GHz and it comes with two cameras. The rear camera has a 16-megapixel sensor at f/1.7 and the front camera has a 16-megapixel sensor at f/1.9. The A6 has a 3,000mAh battery.
Galaxy A6+: This phone steps up the octa-core processor clock speed to 1.8 GHz and it packs three cameras. The main rear camera has a 16-megapixel sensor at f/1.7 and it is joined by a 5-megapixel secondary sensor at f/1.9. Samsung says this allows the A6+ to take real-time bokeh shots with adjustable blur. The front camera jumps to a 24-megapixel sensor at f/1.9. The A6+ has a 3,500mAh battery.

The phones will be sold with either 3 GB or 4 GB of RAM and either 32 GB or 64 GB of storage. The Galaxy A6 and A6+ are slated to reach select markets later this month. Samsung did not announce plans to sell either in the U.S., though the FCC has approved variants with support for U.S. LTE bands 12 and 66. Pricing was not revealed.
