The Galaxy A6 (2018) is Samsung's newest camera-focused smartphone for the mid-range market. On paper, it has improved cameras coming from the popular Galaxy J7 Pro last year.

The Samsung Galaxy A6 (2018) has a 16MP f/1.7 primary shooter at the back with PDAF focus and LED flash. It also has a 16MP f/1.9 snapper on the front with softlight LED flash for great looking selfies.

Moreover, Samsung ensured that it has nifty camera features like HDR, pro mode (EV/ISO/WB), portrait mode (selfies only), and cool AR stickers.

In case you are interested to see its camera performance, here are our first few shots!

As expected, the Galaxy A6 (2018) has speedy focus and shutter speed for the price. It can also take close-up shots with good looking bokeh even on auto mode.

Daylight shots also has plenty of details, punchy colors, and good contrast. Though it still has the signature Samsung type of color pop and saturation. Some may like it and some may prefer a more balanced tone.

But, it is a hit or miss for indoor shots with artificial light. There are times where you'll get well exposed photos, but there are times where it'll overexpose the background.

Lowlight performance is not as great as it is on paper. Yes, it can shoot decent lowlight snaps, but we expected more out of its bright f/1.7 sensor.

For selfies, the experience is just fine. It has plenty of details and good colors for daylight snaps. But again, we expected more out of it. The AR stickers are both cool and cute though.

We suspect that the unit we have still has the pre-production software.

We'll keep you guys posted!
