The Samsung Galaxy A6 Plus is still a pretty good buy in 2020 just that the processor may not be powerful enough to perform well in 2020. However, the other specs are still good excluding the micro USB port which is getting obsolete with USB type C taking over. The phone is still pretty good if the ish I mentioned is not a big problem for you.
