Everything Specs
Samsung Galaxy A9 is a big and robust smartphone, packing 200g in weight and 6″ in screen size, but it’s only 7.4mm thick, making it very comfortable for use. When we mentioned screen, we need to say that it’s a classic Super AMOLED display, found in almost every Samsung device. It works great here, with precise color reproduction and sharp image with 1080p resolution. The device comes with an Octa-core (4×1.8 GHz Cortex-A72 & 4×1.2 GHz Cortex-A53) CPU and Adreno 510 GPU under its hood. This is a solid hardware for your gaming needs, although it won’t blow your mind.
3 GB of RAM here is enough for the most part and its 13 MP camera is surprisingly good. Yes, it can record 1080p videos at 30 fps, but its quality is top notch for this price. Samsung Galaxy A9 has a 4000 mAh Li-Ion battery that supports fast charging, which is one of the highlights of this smartphone.

I have Samsung Galaxy A9 right now and i can tell only the best. Yes, it's big but so are my hands and i'm fine with that. Its full HD screen is great and bright and 3 GB of RAM are enough for all of my needs. I recommend it for those who like to experience the best from Samsung.
