The 6GB RAM variant of the smartphone has been priced at Rs. 36,990. The price of its 8GB variant is Rs 39990. In this review, do you try to know that the 4 rear camera is actually the USP of this phone? Will this phone be able to beat other phones in the mid-range segment?

What is special in the phone? (Pros)

Display: Samsung Galaxy A9 has 1080 × 2220 pixels and 392 ppi with 6.3-inch Super AMOLED display. Its display gives users a good viewing experience. Its aspect ratio is 18.5: 9, which is very accurate for the use of multimedia. The device is protected from corning Gorilla Glass. With this, Samsung's Always On Display lets users see the time and notifications without unlocking the device. Apart from playing Netflix to Amazon videos and games, the screen will give you a great experience. Even in the sun, the content is displayed on the screen and colors and contrast also give you a nice excursion. However, in the case of design the Left does not feel the need for a Bixby button. The phone comes in three colors - Lemonade Blue, Black and Bubblegum Pink. Pink and Blue colors look good. However, Black Color did not attract us so much. Apart from this, the design of the phone and the rear look is good and the phone is also handy.

Storage: Smartphone comes with 128GB of internal storage. For most users, such storage is enough. But even if you have more access, its external storage can be increased to 512GB. So much storage is available in the hard disk. In such a case, if you prefer to keep movies, songs, pictures and other media files in your phone, then this phone does not disappoint you anywhere. Apart from this, the device also allows you to install the phone in your memory card. You can also move your social media content to the SD card. Simultaneously, Samsung did not remove 3.5mm audio jack from the phone while not following trend like OnePlus and Apple.

Battery: The battery of the phone can be called a good part of it. Samsung has used Type-C Fast Charging Port for charging. The phone has a 3800mAh big battery. The phone is fully charged in about 1.5 hours. In addition, the battery in average usage goes up to about 1.5 days. By the end of the day, the battery of the phone will save up to 30 percent.

Where is the deficiency? (Cons)

Android Orio OS: Even after the arrival of Android 9 Pie, Galaxy A9 works on the Orio instead of the latest OS. However, Android Orio can not be called bad choice, but in the case of camera sensors where the company has followed the latest trends. At the same time, this is not the case with the OS. Due to the considerable Bloatware in the software, the performance of the phone also has an impact. Maybe the company made Android Pie updates available on the phone some time later.

Processor: Snapdragon 660 is given in this phone with 4 camera. This is an octa-core CPU build. It uses 14nm process. The phone is left behind in the processor. We expected that the company would use at least the Snapdragon 670 processor. But this also increases the price of the device. However, the SD 660 can handle the camera up to 24MP.

Security: The company has given a fingerprint scanner at the rear of the phone for security. The scanner has been given the perfect place on the rear. Even for the Galaxy A9, the company has not followed the trend and kept the old-fashioned security system. According to the reports, the company can bring in-display sensors in the Galaxy S10. Companies such as Oppo, Vivo, and OnePlus have already come up with the features of in-display sensor in their phones.

What is the USP of the phone?

The biggest feature of Galaxy A9, the phone in which the phone is most discussed, is its 4 camera setup. This is the first smartphone to come up with 4 rear camera setup. Camera setup comes with 24MP primary sensor with f / 1.7 aperture, 8MP Ultra-wide lens with f / 2.4 aperture, 10MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom and 5MP depth sensor with f / 2.2 aperture.

The 24MP lens comes with superpixel technology, so that a clear picture can be taken. Right now, with 8MP sensor you will be able to take 120 degree angle ultra-wide shots. The sensor works even when making videos. Like the 5MP sensor DSLR camera, the Bokeh effect comes in handy. Blur can be adjusted even after clicking the picture in it. The 10MP telephoto lens comes with 2x zoom, which allows you to zoom in and clear the image even after clicking. Samsung has given 24MP shooter for selfie.

This allows AR Emoji, including wide self-mode mode, to be used. The front camera more than the rear camera gave us a better result. The result of Bokeh images is not special. You will be satisfied with the pictures taken from the primary camera. In case of rear camera performance, call can be called average.

Our decision: Galaxy A9 will give you a premium look with which you will get 4 rear cameras. If you are fond of selfie then you will be happy with camera performance. The price of this phone, which comes with the old processor in 36990, is slightly higher. The phone is good in case of battery and display. There is a tough competition from Oneplus 6T available in this range almost the same.
