Price in Pakistan
Launched in Pakistan in August 2024 and still sold new. The Pakistan price for the 4GB + 64GB clusters tightly at Rs. 26,999 — whatmobile, hamariweb, urdupoint and mobilo all list exactly 26,999, Daraz lists 24,999–26,999 and giznext lists 25,988. zmobiles lists the same variant at Rs. 22,499, which is the low end of the market (konsa’s range also starts at 22,499), and its variant prices run 22,499 / 25,500 / 28,999 — named here but not used, because four independent sources agree on 26,999 for the base. MobileDokan’s rows convert to Rs. 32,999 (4+64), Rs. 36,999 (4+128) and Rs. 40,999 (6+128) — Bangladesh Official prices, 1.23× above the Pakistan cluster, named here but not used. The 4GB + 128GB runs about Rs. 29,066–32,999 and the 6GB + 128GB about Rs. 31,999–38,999 across aggregators, so those variants are stated as ranges rather than given rows. All prices Expected; PTA tax not yet confirmed.

| Price | PKR. 26,999 (Expected) |
| Display | 6.7″ PLS LCD, 60Hz, 720×1600 |
| RAM | 4GB / 6GB |
| ROM | 64GB / 128GB |
| Released | August 2024 |
Buying in Pakistan
- Check the IMEI and the exact model SM-A065F — the A06 5G (Dimensity 6300, 90Hz, SM-A066B) is a different phone, and the A05 (Helio G85, SM-A055F) is nearly identical.
- Confirm warranty (official Samsung Pakistan vs shop warranty).
- Confirm PTA status via DIRBS; the usual 60-day window applies. zmobiles says the phone is fully PTA approved.
- Make sure it is the A06 4G (Helio G85, 60Hz, dual camera), not the A06 5G or the A05s.
Final Verdict
A 5000mAh Android 14 phone at Rs. 26,999 — the cheapest way into a current Samsung. The 5000mAh battery with 25W charging, Android 14 with two major upgrades promised, FM radio and a dedicated microSD slot are a fair package at Rs. 26,999, and it is the cheapest current Samsung on the site. Its weakest points are the 720p 60Hz display, the Helio G85 chip, the 8MP selfie camera and the single 2MP depth lens beside the 50MP main. The trap is the name — the A06 5G (Dimensity 6300, 90Hz) and the A05 (same chip, same camera) share it, so check model SM-A065F before paying.
