Let’s take a quick look at what the Galaxy A9 (2018) offers to the customers and also what makes the phone stand against the competition.

Quad Rear Cameras

The rear camera setup is the key highlight of the Samsung phone. The Galaxy A9 (2018) comes with a four-camera setup on the back side and promises to click pictures like any other phones at this price range. As for the camera configuration, the Galaxy A9 (2018) includes a 24MP main sensor with f/1.7 aperture, an 8MP ultra wide angle lens with f/2.4 aperture, a 10MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom, lastly a 5MP for depth sensing. The cameras are placed in a vertical fashion on the back and next to it is the square-shaped fingerprint sensor. On the front, the A9 (2018) sport only one camera. The phone packs a 24MP sensor selfie shooter on the front.

Impressive Camera Features

Samsung has left no stone unturned to polish the cameras of the Galaxy A9 (2018). Besides the quad camera setup, the phone comes with features like scene optimiser, which detects the subject in the frame and keeps the focus on it. The phone also comes with another feature that does deserve a mention -- flaw detection. This feature informs the user if there’s a flaw like blinks or blur or also if there are smudges on the camera lens, and asks the user to click another picture for better clarity.

Display

Samsung has always given an extra pinch of attention on the display of all its phones. The Galaxy A9 (2018) comes packed with a 6.3-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080x2160 pixels. Samsung claims that its display offers sharper colours and great viewing angles. Needless to say, the phone also comes with Always-on-display which shows the notifications on the lock screen of the phone without affecting the battery life.

Design

The Galaxy A9 (2018) doesn’t look like any other Samsung phone. It comes with a unique gradient colour scheme on the back similar to what we have also seen on some of the Honor and Huawei phones lately. The back panel of the Galaxy A9 (2018) spots a 3G Glass design which adds a lot to the design scheme of the phone and makes it look like one of those premium phones. The Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) comes in three colour options including Caviar Black, Lemonade Blue, and Bubblegum Pink.

Galaxy A9 (2018) Specifications

The Samsung phone powered by a 2.2GHz octa-core Snapdragon 660 processor with up to 8GB RAM and 128GB of internal storage which is expandable up to 512GB.
