Every time the South Korean smartphone maker, Samsung, brings out a new flagship in market; it comes along some high speculations. Earlier also, Samsung shied away from updating about the international release of the Galaxy J series. And this time around, the company is tightlipped about another of its international variant - Galaxy A9 Pro (2016).
While Samsung is still taking time to make the announcement of its release in the international market officially, reports state that Galaxy A9 Pro (2016) has released in Malaysia and is anticipated to extend to other markets shortly.
For the uninitiated, Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro (2016) was released in China in March 2016 at a cost of 3,499 Yuan (approximately $533 / Rs. 36,000). The international model has also got WiFi, Bluetooth, and Federal Communication Commission (FCC) certifications, which clearly gave a hint about its release in other nations also.
The device with model number as SM-A910F as assumed to be Galaxy A9 Pro (2016), was spotted on Zauba website that has track of imports and exports in India. So, one can expect the device to hit the Indian market as well.
So, let us have a look at the mighty Galaxy A9 Pro (2016).
Design & Display
Samsung A9's design has become the talk of town and is indeed its USP. The device is available in three colors: gold, white and pink gold. Of these, gold and pink gold variants come with a black front. It has a metal side frame colors perfectly as per the three different variations. The built is strong and provides you the needed grip. The buttons, mainly home, power and volume are easy to press. It has a fingerprint scanner present on the home button. The scanner is quick and highly responsive.
The handset comes with a mammoth 6 inch display with AMOLED panel. It has 1080 x 1920 px resolution with pixel density of 367 ppi.
Interface and Functionality
It has the most recent TouchWiz interface along with Android 5.1. It's a little surprising to see how Samsung has not used Android 6 here which we believe should have been the case ideally. Moving on, its user interface is rich and lively. It moves swiftly but at times tends to be rather jumpy and not as runny as software experiences seen on opponent products similar to HTC, Motorola, and Apple.
Processor and Memory
It has the fascinating Snapdragon 652 chipset, backed by octa-core CPU and Adreno 510 GPU. This makes it quite a powerful phone in comparison to the earlier launched Galaxy S6 and Note 5.
There's a 3GB of RAM with 32 GB internal memory. And if you need more, the same can be expanded using a microSD card slot.
Camera
Coming to camera, it has a 13-MP primary camera with optical stabilization (OIS) and wide, f/1.9 aperture. For selfies, it has 8-megapixel front shooter.
The device indeed offers a great camera experience. It supports quick launch for camera, all you need to do is double click your home button, it even works when the phone is locked. By default, it will click images in 16:9 aspect ratio and 9.6-MP resolution. You can turn the same to 4:3 aspect ratio and 13 megapixels.
Battery Life
Like a mammoth screen, the battery size in the Samsung Galaxy A9 is 4000 mAh, which apparently powers the big size screen.
Conclusion
Samsung is on a roll these days as the makers last released Samsung Galaxy A3 (2016), which has 4.7-inch screen which is backed by the Super AMOLED technology. It offers powerful and saturated colors. It has a 720 by 1280 pixels resolution which makes for sharp graphics and texts. Powered by 1.5GHz quad-core Exynos SoC, the A3 (2016) runs Android 5.1 Lollipop. Galaxy A3 (2016) comes with 13MP F1.9 main camera and 5MP F1.9 front camera for selfies.
Now with Galaxy A9 Pro (2016) onboard it's to be seen how the two devices would fare in the market and earn Samsung some big money!
