Samsung Galaxy A9 Review By PhoneArena

We've always liked Samsung's upper mid-range, a series, and this year we're glad to see the company take it even further. Retaining the more strict rectangular shapes the new handsets have adopted the more gracious sophisticated glass design. What's more Samsung has added some additional sizes to choose, from the biggest of which, being the Galaxy a nine, a six-inch behemoth that impresses with both size and posture. It seems reasonably priced between 450 and 500 bucks. So, let's see just how good it is. Metal may have become the new plastic, but glass is still glass and the Galaxy a9 happens to be made just of that.

Yes, it would be easier to crack. Yes, it will attract fingerprints, but it sure, as hell, looks and feels fancy solid and substantial are two words. I will definitely use to describe the galaxy 89. The phone doesn't feel flimsy or plastic here, like the Xiaomi mi5, for example. Instead, it's nice and solid, it makes you feel confident that it's not going to fall apart easily, also where they have note all the buttons home volume, power, RO, click and easy to press.

The galaxy 89 also comes with a fingerprint scanner right here in the home button, which is mostly quick and responsive, though it's not super reliable when you're not paying too much attention to how you're positioning your finger on it. The six-inch panel is another centerpiece of the a9. The 1080 by 1920 pixel resolution is just enough to deliver a very nice imprint picture and text quality. They are the usual ultra saturated screen modes like adaptive and AMOLED, but if it's reasonably balanced colors you are, after activating basic mode will engage a color profile that is more true to life. There is a slight tendency towards blue and green with the screen, and while this is mostly tolerable, colors happen to appear a bit subdued overall brightness is great, though this they can get bright enough for outdoor viewing demeanor for convenient viewing in darkness.

Touch wiz is, of course, the name of the game here on the galaxy, a 9, but there is no Android 6. Here it comes with android 5.1, which is a glaring omission. The nice user interface is colorful and lively. It moves quickly enough, though it tends to be somewhat jerky and not as fluid as the software experiences found, or some rival products like those from HTC, Motorola or Apple. The galaxy a 9 is on the clunky side, so using it will require at least two hands and some extra attention when handling it and using it so that it won't accidentally slip from your hand.

Typing messages with your hands in portrait mode is great, but you can't do it with just one hand and when it's in landscape is also quite a stretch inside the galaxy, a 9 is the Snapdragon 65 2 chipsets, and it's outscore CPU and Arena 510 GPU, both of which are actually quite capable. The a9 can almost rival the performance output of top smartphones from last year, such as the Galaxy S6 and the note 5, which means it's quite powerful. And yes, there is also a micros card slot in here. In addition to the 32 gigabytes of internal memory, so storage isn't really an issue. The galaxy a9 features a 13 megapixel rear camera with optical stabilization and white 1.9 aperture. So far, so good.

The camera experience is generally quick and efficient, it's not as straightforward as on iPhone, but it does give you some additional settings and features manual mode being the most notable one image quality with the a9 satisfactory, but not great photos don't seem to come out defiant enough, often being somewhat and clear. With details suffering a bit. Color balance tends to be on the colder side, um overall making for images that don't seem particularly lively indoors. The phone does a good job at limiting noise and preserving the scene with the dual LED flash, proving be strong enough, at least for close-range objects. Indoor photos are quite vivid and lifelike.

Overall, video recording quality is good. Detail is not too plentiful, but still pretty decent, while overall at the scene tends to be reproduced. Naturally, autofocus is a bit hesitant at times, though, the galaxy, nine packs of beefy four thousand William hour battery, depending on how much you actually use the handset battery life with the a9 will range from great -. Okay for normal moderate usage, I would say to last about a day and a half which isn't that bad for a six-inch phone, the galaxy, a nine, is an enormous, yet elegant, smartphone. Looking across the board, it has no bearing weaknesses, you're not getting the best of the best here, but rather a very nice smartphone that won't disappoint in any particular area.

I think it's a fair deal considering you won't be paying top dollar. So if nothing below six inches really happens to register on your radar, the galaxy, a nine is a very good smartphone, with likable design and no serious flaws aside from shipping with android 5.1 and not six.
