Samsung Galaxy M06 5G
★ Full Specification Sheet ★
Budget 5G done sensibly — monster battery and rare-for-the-price software support, held back by a 720p screen and a second camera that's mostly for show.

Quick Verdict

Overall Rating	★★★☆☆ (3 / 5)
Best For	Budget buyers who want future-proof 5G, long software support and all-day battery — and don't care about screen sharpness or photography.
Launch / Street Price	Street ₹10,999 (4/128) – ₹14,499 (6/128). Samsung.com India showed no live price ("Not for sale") at check.
Standout Feature	Up to 4 OS upgrades + security patches to March 2030 — unusually generous under ₹11k.

Rating Breakdown

Display	★★★☆☆ (3)	Bright, smooth 90Hz panel — but only 720p HD+ LCD, not FHD, not AMOLED.
Performance	★★★☆☆ (3)	Dimensity 6300 (6nm) handles daily use and light gaming fine; not for heavy titles.
Camera	★★½☆☆ (2.5)	Usable 50MP main in daylight; secondary lens is cosmetic; 1080p@30 video, no OIS.
Battery	★★★★☆ (4)	5000mAh + efficient 6nm chip = strong endurance. Only 25W, and charger isn't included.
Value	★★★½☆ (3.5)	5G + 4 OS upgrades + battery at ~₹10k is strong; loses points for 720p LCD and no NFC.

Pros

• Long software commitment — up to 4 major OS upgrades, security to 31 Mar 2030
• Big 5000mAh battery on an efficient 6nm chip — comfortable all-day life
• Wide 5G band support — 12 5G bands, SA/NSA Sub6
• 90Hz display with 800 nits peak — smooth and readable outdoors for the price
• 3.5mm headphone jack + microSD (expandable up to 1.5TB)
• Made-in-India, dependable Samsung service network

Cons

• 720p HD+ LCD only — resolution is the obvious cost-cut
• "Dual" camera is really one — the 2MP is a cosmetic depth/aux lens (see Rear Camera)
• No NFC — no tap-to-pay
• No charger in box — 25W adapter sold separately
• Mono speaker — no stereo output
• Hybrid SIM slot — microSD steals the second SIM
• USB-C 2.0 — slow wired transfers

Bottom Line
The Galaxy M06 5G is a genuine budget workhorse: a big 5000mAh battery, broad 5G band support, and an unusually generous four OS upgrades plus security patches to 2030 make it easy to recommend under ₹11k. Go in clear-eyed, though — the 720p LCD and the "50MP + 2MP" camera (where the 2MP is really a cosmetic depth lens) are exactly where Samsung cut costs, and there's no NFC or bundled charger. If you value longevity and endurance over screen sharpness and photography, it's strong value; if not, spend a little more up the range.
