Both feature a full metal unibody chassis, near-bezel-less Super AMOLED display, dedicated slots for 2 SIMs and a micro SD card, rear fingerprint sensors, face recognition, and Dolby Atmos audio. The A6 and A6+ have triple slots (dual Nano SIM and micro SD). While both come in classic black, the A6 also comes in gold and the A6+ in bold blue.
