Samsung’s most affordable Galaxy phones are no longer defined by bare-minimum specifications. In the Rp1 million range, the lineup now includes models with 50 MP cameras, 5,000 mAh batteries, and even 5G support, giving budget buyers more practical choices than before.
That shift matters for people who need a phone for everyday communication, social media, study, and light entertainment. Among the five options in this group, the differences are mainly found in display quality, RAM, and network support.
The cheapest way into Samsung’s budget line
Galaxy A06 sits at the bottom of the list with a price of Rp1.499.000 for the 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage version. It uses the MediaTek Helio G85 chipset, a 6.7-inch PLS LCD display, and a 5,000 mAh battery.
Samsung also gives it a relatively spacious storage setup for its class because it supports microSD expansion up to 1 TB. The main camera is 50 MP and is paired with a 2 MP sensor, while the 8 MP front camera is said to support video recording up to 60 fps.
A small step up brings 5G
For buyers who want a more modern connection without moving too far from the entry level, Galaxy A06 5G is priced at a discounted Rp1.699.000. This version stands out for its 5G support, 6 GB of RAM, and 128 GB of storage.
It also keeps the same 6.7-inch PLS LCD screen and 5,000 mAh battery, while adding a USB-C port. Its camera setup remains close to the non-5G model, with a 50 MP main camera, a 2 MP secondary sensor, and an 8 MP front camera.
Performance and display move into a more sensible range
Galaxy A07 4G is listed at Rp1.799.000 and brings the Helio G99, which is generally expected to provide better performance in the entry segment. Samsung pairs it with 4 GB RAM, 64 GB storage, a PLS LCD HD+ display, and a weight of 184 grams.
The rest of its package stays familiar for Samsung’s affordable lineup. It keeps the 50 MP main camera, 2 MP sensor, 8 MP front camera, and 5,000 mAh battery, making it a straightforward daily-use option.
A more camera-friendly budget choice
Galaxy A05s moves higher in price at around Rp2.100.000 per unit, but it adds a more attractive set of specifications for certain users. It comes with a 6.7-inch FHD+ display, Snapdragon 680 chipset, 6 GB RAM, and 1218 GB storage as listed in product data.
Its camera configuration is also more appealing for selfie-focused buyers. The rear side includes a 50 MP main camera, a 2 MP sensor, and a 2 MP depth camera, while the 13 MP front camera gives it an edge in its class.
The most complete option in this group
If the budget can stretch a little further, Galaxy A16 5G becomes the most complete model in the lineup. Its price is around Rp2.699.000 per unit, and Samsung positions it as the most prepared option for heavier everyday use.
The biggest difference is its 6.7-inch AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution, which gives it a more premium look than the LCD panels used on the cheaper models. Samsung also equips it with the MediaTek Helio G99, 8 GB RAM, and 128 GB storage, a combination that makes light to moderate multitasking more comfortable.
