Samsung Galaxy A06 5G is rumoured to be in development and is expected to join its 4G equivalent in the market soon. Ahead of its anticipated debut, the purported smartphone has been tipped to come with One UI 7 — Samsung’s own take on Android 15 — out of the box. As a result, the handset might support the new Now Bar feature which the South Korean technology conglomerate introduced with the flagship Galaxy S25 series.
This information comes from Abhishek Yadav (@yabhishekhd)’s post on X (formerly Twitter). The tipster suggests that Samsung’s purported Galaxy A06 5G will come with Android 15-based One UI 7.0 operating system (OS) and support Now Bar. The update was announced in October and was released only last month with the launch of the flagship Galaxy S25 series. Other Samsung smartphones, including the Galaxy S24 lineup, are yet to receive it, but the company’s upcoming budget smartphone could run on the OS.

Notably, the Now Bar feature is an artificial intelligence (AI) feature, part of the Galaxy AI suite. It appears as a rectangular bar featuring multiple cards near the bottom of the screen which can be vertically scrolled with a card deck-like animation. Essentially, it provides a lock screen quick view of insights presented by another new One UI 7 feature called Now Brief.
