Samsung Galaxy A9 2018 Review - A QUAD Camera Monster! By TechLine

What is happening, my name is lion was here watching tech line and in today's video I wanted to show you guys a brand new Samsung Galaxy a 9, so this is the first smartphone in the world that has four cameras on the back. In addition to this, this is a premium device that is well-built. It has pretty good specifications, a lot of internal storage and a lot more. As always. If you want to learn all the pros and cons of this device make sure to watch an entire video. Let's go straight to the point.

The Samsung Galaxy, a 9 is the first smartphone to have 4 cameras on the back. The main sensor has plenty of megapixels. The secondary shooter collects depth information that is necessary for taking pictures with a nicely blurred background. The third sensor allows you to take telephoto pictures with 2 times, optical zoom and finally, an ultra-wide lens has 120 degrees field of view. On the front, there is a beefy selfie, shooter I will talk about cameras in detail soon, so stick around the suggested.

Retail price of the galaxy a9 is about 600 euros here in Europe, but the price may vary depending on the region for that price, to get a premium, looking phone that has a classic Samsung design, a metal frame, high quality buttons, a Bigamy button, any glass on the front and rear some say: Samsung used plastic for the back cover, but honestly I can't tell the difference. The backplate feels like it's made of glass. The laminate blue color is my favorite, but you can also choose between the caviar black and the bubblegum pink. Keep in mind that color options, availability may vary from region to region. I should also tell you that the ponds color will look different in this video well, because it changes colors in different lighting and at different angles.

The overall build quality is solid, and the phone feels like a flagship. However, this is not a small device duties large display. That screen is really nice and sharp. It has deep blacks, punchy, colors, and it is easily viewable in direct sunlight, excellent panel. Overall, the fingerprint reader is accurate and passed, and it unlocks the phone straight from the standby mode.

There is also a face unlock feature that is reliable ?, but I found myself using the fingerprint scanner, as it is simply faster, I, really like Samsung's approach towards the micros cards. As you get a dedicated slot along to NATO SIM card trace, we should also pray Samsung for keeping the ad phone check that provides excellent audio thanks to Dolby Atmos sound enhancements. Now, a few major downsides. The phone is not water or dust resistant, which is a feature left to Samsung's flagship, even though phones like galaxy a8, has ip68 rating. In addition, there is no wireless charging and no LED notification light.

A highly customizable always-on display should replace the lighter feature. At least this is what Samson thinks. Lastly, there is no LED flash for selfies, for example, a cheaper galaxy a7 has this feature? The phone has just one speaker on the bottom, so no fancy stereo, speaker setups here. On the other hand, the sound quality is pretty good. Overall, here are a few audio samples.

Just before we start talking about hardware, I want you to show you guys, he wanders here doctor phone switch tool and say thanks for sponsoring this video with the doctor phone switch tool, you can move data with one click, and it's a simple click through process.

The Galaxy, a 9, has specs off a solid upper mid-range class smartphone that has plenty of storage.

The snapdragon 616 is running the show, and it assures a really solid gaming performance. I played games like asphalt, Extreme asphalt, 9 and shadow Pi 3 on the highest graphics settings and the phone performs like a flagship, no stutter no lag and the visuals look nice. The pop G runs fine on medium graphics, with just minor skipped frames, but no lag, so we can definitely enjoy playing this popular game for hours. Finally, the phone does not overheat and overall I can say. This is a pretty good gaming phone, despite not having top-tier chipset, the phone runs on Android, a dot o, which is not the latest version of Android, but I.

Don't think it's worth complaining about that, because the phone is always snappy and responsive, despite having plenty of features and customization options just like on any other Samsung phone I, like changing the looks by selecting different themes, wallpapers or using some advanced features, and this phone has plenty of them. I also like that the multi window feature works, fine, and sometimes it's really convenient in practice. I've never been a big Z user as I, don't like voice assistance in general, but some users claim that bigamy has improved. Well, let's try open up gallery who is the best basketball player at the moment overall I'm happy to say that the phone is fast and fluid on a daily basis. I didn't see any stutter, no skipped frames in the UI, despite installing plenty of apps and running quite a few of them.

In the background, just before we start talking about cameras, I have to mention that the phone runs on an early software, build meaning that the image quality may be improved, and the camera app may be updated. The highlight of the camera app is the ability to switch from one camera to another with a single tap, you can find plenty of camera modes and the main ones include a scene optimizer like focus super slow-motion hyperlapse and the pro mode that allows you to adjust a few settings manually in case. You want to check out full resolution. Camera samples yourself go to the tagline HD Facebook page and follow me for the latest updates. I have to tell you that it's really awesome to have so many cameras.

It's like carrying three lenses in your camera bag I took almost all pictures side by side, an auto wide-angle and telephoto modes. The pictures taken in auto mode. Look nice sharp and detailed I, also like the colors and dynamic ranges. Usually decent I tested the cameras only nice and sunny day, so lighting conditions were perfect. Once you start switching between camera lenses, you may be both happy and a little sad again.

I have to repeat that my galaxy, a mine, runs on a pre-production software and this may be fixed in the retail unit, but I thought that the pictures taken using different lenses having a very different color reproduction honestly, sometimes I, even try to remember how the building looked like in reality. I think this will be fixed in the final retail version. The wide-angle lens gives you a whole new perspective of the scene, and you can take really nice photos with it. That will look awesome on Instagram. However, I wish this lens was able to capture more detailed, dynamic ranges, not always impressive, and there could be slightly less noise.

In addition, there is a visible barrel distortion effect, but the good news is that can fix that with Jesse tap of the button. The pictures taken with a telephoto lens, usually look nice and detailed again. I. Don't like that, the color temperature is different to the pictures taken with a main camera, but that maybe pixel with the future software updates portrait shots. Usually look really nice, as the object or subject is nicely separated from the background with just minimal artifacts, when I test that the Galaxy a7 I didn't really like the seen optimizer mode, but it works so much better on this phone as it makes your pictures look more vibrant and a tad sharper in general.

Lowlife pictures look quite good, but there could definitely be less noise. My advice is not to use neither wide-angle nor telephoto lens, as the pictures simply won't look good. There is a huge amount of noise and the level of detail is poor. In low-light salvos look nice, they are sharp detailed and at the colors are quite accurate. Selfie portrait shots look nice to us.

There are no severe artifacts around this subject and the pictures will look nice on social media for key video looks nice, although you don't expect flagship, great sharpness and detail. Also, the video is quite shaky due to the lack of stabilization. There is a continuous autofocus feature, but it is kind of slow and a party to be jumpy at times it can also switch from the main to the zoom camera, while recording the video. However, you cannot use the wide-angle camera for video 1080p video looks really nice. Thanks to electronic image stabilization, the footage comes out really smooth.

There is a good amount of detail, and you can also switch between the main and telephoto cameras. However, the telephoto lens reproduces colors differently and the video is shaky slow-motion video is recorded in 720p at 240 frames per second, the quality of video is quite good. Overall, you can also make shorts super slow-motion clips.1080P selfie video looks nice and sharp overall. Finally, sound recording quality is pretty good and today's a nice and sunny day, but standing in the shade what the lighting conditions are very good as expected from a premium ad Ranger. The call quality and signal reception have been great all the time and other connectivity options like GPS work, absolutely fine.

The phone has NFC Bluetooth five and plenty of sensors battery life has been perfect. My record screen on time was about 11 hours, which is a very good result. On average, you should easily get over eight hours of SOT. The phone supports fast charging, and it takes about one and a half hours to fully charge the phone with a supplied pass charger. So there we have it the Samsung Galaxy, a nine, the first smartphone in the world, with four cameras on the back as usual.

Let's summarize, all the pros and cons the device looks and feels premium. The display is really nice and sharp. The overall performance is great. The phone feels fast. The battery life has been great, all the time and finally, a unique camera setup lets you take high-quality pictures and shoot nice-looking video.

It's really awesome to have so many camera lenses that allow you to shoot the same scene from a different perspective. Now the downsides I'm disappointed that the phone is not water or dust resistant. There is no wireless charging, no LED notification, light no LED flash for selfies the phone ships with the Android 800, which is not the latest version. And finally, there is no stabilization in 4k video recording mode. At the end of the day, the Samsung Galaxy, a mine, may not be the cheapest mid-Ranger out there, but it definitely brings a lot of flagship, great and unique features.

Despite these shortcomings. Finally, a quad camera set up on the back is what sets it apart from the entire competition, at least for now. So what do you think about the Samsung Galaxy, a nine and its four cameras? Some people would say this is an overkill. Why do you need so many cameras? This may be just a marketing gimmick, but in practice it's really awesome to take a picture using the auto mode using the main camera, or you can take a wide-angle shot, use the telephoto four zoom, etc. , etc.

It's really awesome to have that flexibility, but I'm asking you to tell me in the comment section down below what do you think do we need to see more phones with four cameras on the back end, as always as the video, if you liked it drop me a comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe to the channel if you haven't already. Finally, it was Lionel's. Thank you for watching and see you soon.
