Overall Verdict: Best for Value-Oriented 5G Connectivity
The Samsung Galaxy M06 5G packs 5G speed, long battery life, and a smooth screen into a budget-friendly package. It’s the go-to choice for users who want reliable high-speed internet every day without spending much.
Introduction
The Samsung Galaxy M06 5G launched in India in Feb 2025 at just ₹8,699 for the 4 GB+128 GB model. It brings cutting-edge 5G, a large 6.74-inch 90 Hz screen, 50 MP main camera, and a huge 5,000 mAh battery. All this comes wrapped in a sleek plastic body in striking Blazing Black or Sage Green. If you want 5G without a big price tag, the M06 5G has you covered.
Design & Build
The M06 5G measures 167.4 × 77.4 × 8.0 mm and weighs 191 g. Its glossy plastic back and frame feel solid yet light. A side-mounted fingerprint sensor sits on the power button for quick unlocks. You get a 3.5 mm headphone jack and USB-C port at the bottom. The design is plain but functional. There’s no IP rating, so keep it dry.
Display
- Size: 6.74 inches PLS LCD
- Resolution: HD+ 720×1600 px (260 ppi)
- Refresh Rate: 90 Hz
- Brightness: 800 nits peak
The 90 Hz refresh makes scrolling and animations feel smooth. Colors are vibrant, and the screen gets bright enough for outdoor use. HD+ keeps costs low, but fine details look softer than on FHD+ screens.

Apps launch quickly. Multitasking with a few apps is smooth. Casual games run fine at medium settings; high-end 3D games may drop frames. Software is clean, with minimal bloat. Samsung promises four major Android updates and security patches.
