A new Samsung phone has just gotten a pretty substantial leak, and surprisingly, it isn’t a flagship. The leak comes from GizNext (via Onleaks), which has revealed everything there is to know about the Samsung Galaxy A06 in painstaking detail. Notably, this is a fairly entry-level phone that’s expected to have budget pricing characteristics of the Galaxy A-series and serve as a successor to the Galaxy A05.

Upgrading to the latest and greatest flagships can be really convenient, especially when you're snagging a top-of-the-line model like the Galaxy S24 Ultra with all the bells and whistles. Premium phones come with price tags to match. Finding a deal to cut some of the cost of a new phone is pretty essential, and right now Amazon is offering a 26% discount on the S24 Ultra, netting you $335 in savings and dropping the cost from $1,300 to just $965. That's the lowest price we've ever seen.
