More is better? It turns out that strength in numbers does not quite equate to image quality.

          Nicknam, 02 May 2022These Samsung phones with multiple cameras are marketing gi... moreah yes, comparing a flagship to mid-rangers

            I was actually using this one for like a year and a half, and then I passed it over to my father and he still uses it to this day, and it still works fine for him. And why did I change it? Mostly because of bad cameras which were just a marketing gimmick, and quality was even worse than some of the midrangers back then. And yes, software which sometimes lagged even at some simple tasks, and I did not like that at all. I mean, overall it's not a bad phone, but it's a shame that Samsung did not put more effort into this one, mostly in cameras department.

                  These Samsung phones with multiple cameras are marketing gimmick. I tested A5* and A8 (2018), which both have 3 cameras. Xperia XZ Premium with single 19MPx sensor took far better photos. Also, new budget Samsung phones got 3-4 cameras with 48MPx main sensor, and all cameras are garbage, with poor details and a lot of noise.

Looking at something like S8/S8+ they were one of the best looking phones ever. Compared that to what the competition was releasing back then, lol no comparison in design.

                                      blue, 01 May 2022... and they were unnecessary 20 % larger than needed. No, ... moreLol. You are joking right? Have you not seen smartphone bezels before 2018?

                                      For a phone without a notch or hole, the top/bottom bezels on the A9 are already thin enough. If you want examples of phones with bezels "unnecessary 20% larger than needed", go look at the latest iPhone SE or Xperia XZ1. The A9 is anything but that.

                                      If anything, the A9 is a good example of how smartphone top/bottom bezels have become slimmer over time, from the thick bezels of the iPhone 6 to the thin bezels of the Galaxy S8/S9.
                                      From 70% screen-to-body ratio to over 80%.
