Samsung Galaxy A9 is equipped with a 6.3-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED screen. It runs on Snapdragon 660 Octa-core processor bolstered with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. The internal storage can be expanded up to 512GB with the help of a dedicated memory card slot. Samsung Galaxy A9 allows you to unlock your phone with face recognition and a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor.
Coming to the interesting part, the phone features four cameras on the rear of which the first one is the primary camera that is a 24MP(f/1.7 aperture) sensor, the second is an 8MP(f/2.4 aperture and 120 degrees ) ultra-wide sensor, the third one is a 10MP ( f/2.4 aperture )telephoto camera that provides 2X Optical Zoom, the last one is a 5MP (f/2.2 aperture) depth sensor with live focus. The camera setup certainly looks quite interesting on paper and we need to take a look at how this performs once it is released. On the front, it includes a 24MP selfie camera with features like Pro lighting.
The phone is powered by a battery of capacity 3800 mAh with fast charging support. The phone has a glass back panel which gives a 3D effect and comes in three colors: pink, blue and black. There is no word on the price of the device yet, but it will be available in the market from November.
