AT&T launches the Galaxy A6 (2018) in the US

Samsung launched the Galaxy A6 about five months ago. The company said back then that it would release this handset in select markets across Asia, Europe and Latin America. A North America release was not mentioned at that point in time. Subsequent reports suggested that a US launch was possible for this handset.

The reports had also mentioned that AT&T could be the carrier partner for this device in the country. That’s precisely what has happened as the country’s second largest mobile carrier has now launched the Galaxy A6 (2018) in the United States.

It was first reported about four months ago that the Galaxy A6 is headed Stateside and that it would be released by AT&T with the model number SM-A600A. The carrier has now listed this device as being available for purchase. AT&T will deliver it to customers in a couple of days. It’s also possible to pick up the device at AT&T retail stores across the country.

The Galaxy A6 is a proper mid-range device complete with a sleek design. It has a 5.6-inch 720×1480 pixel resolution 18.5:9 aspect ratio flat Infinity Display, a 1.6GHz quadcore processor, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. It supports microSD cards of up to 256GB. There’s a fingerprint sensor at the back in addition to the 16-megapixel camera with f/1.7 aperture. A 16-megapixel camera is present upfront with f/1.9 aperture and an adjustable LED flash.

Interested customers can purchase the Galaxy A6 (2018) from AT&T in the United States for $419.99 at full retail. Customers will also have the option to split the cost over a 30 month installment agreement and pay $14 per month for the device.

Galaxy P30 pictures show no in-display fingerprint sensor

Some Galaxy P30 pictures have surfaced online and they don’t show the rumored in-display fingerprint sensor. Samsung is expected to release a separate handset this year with a display-based fingerprint sensor. Recent reports have suggested that this device will get an optical fingerprint sensor. That’s because Samsung is saving the more advanced ultrasonic sensor for the Galaxy S10 that’s due next year.

The Galaxy P30 was thus expected to be that device. Multiple rumors had claimed that this device, bearing model number SM-G6200, will be Samsung’s first smartphone with an in-display fingerprint sensor.

The Galaxy P30 pictures have now surfaced from China where the device has been submitted to TENAA for certification. It’s the Chinese certification body that has to approve devices before they can be sold in the country.

The TENAA listing includes images of the SM-G6200 which clearly show a rear fingerprint sensor alongside the dual camera system. This puts to rest the rumors of the Galaxy P30 being Samsung’s first smartphone with an in-display fingerprint sensor. We had reported on this possibility a few days back as well.

The 5.9-inch display doesn’t appear to have a notch. There’s no word as yet on the specs of this device but it would most likely be a bonafide mid-ranger. The listing does mention a 3,300mAh battery which isn’t really anything to write home about.

There’s a possibility that the SM-G6200 may not be launched as the Galaxy P30 and the rumors about this moniker have been wrong all along. It’s also possible that there could be two variants of this device and one may have the in-display fingerprint sensor.

Samsung is yet to confirm when it’s going to launch this device. It’s possible that it may first be made available in China only before being released in other markets across the globe.
