Samsung Galaxy A9 Complete Specs, New Features And Price; Best Mobile For Gamers And Heavy Phone Users?

The Samsung Galaxy A9 smartphone was launched earlier in January 2016 with a 6" touchscreen AMOLED display with an amazing resolution of 1080 pixels by 1920 pixels. Gamers and heavy users who make as much rough use out of their smartphones should opt for Samsung's new handset. The massive 6-inch Super AMOLED display has a 367 PPI pixel density and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4.

Although Galaxy Note 5 from the same South Korea-headquartered company comes with a better 1440 x 2560 pixels resolution and 518 PPI pixel density, the screen of 5.7 inches is smaller than that of the Galaxy A9. The new smartphone offers deep black and other vibrant colors with great viewing angles but it is not one of those ergonomic phones to handle, states a report by Android Authority. The very well responsive fingerprint sensor definitely makes the Galaxy A9, a thing to consider.

Verdict: Why You Should Buy It

The Galaxy A9 offers an excellent front camera, the best among the other Smartphones from Samsung. The configuration is also quite awesome with a great battery backup and massive expandable memory of 32 GB + 128 GB.

The Cons are basically its expensive price and the non-removable battery. Although the smartphone does not have wireless charging, fast-charging or LED notification light, these features are still considered minor when compared to the Galaxy A9's overall performance. The Smartphone is heavier than the Note 5 due to its huge battery but it's also actually 0.2 mm thinner.
