Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) review

03 January 2019
One of the first phones with five cameras on board and, several months after the announcement, still the only one with four on the back – it’s the Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018). We set out to discover how well the impressive specsheet translates into real world performance.

And let's be honest nor battery and screen is not as it should for its price. Sony XA2 ultra or plus can eat this 4 s-cams with one camera all around plus its better battery life. Pricing by far Sony wins. So no way Shamesung!

                Nooooo you can't have a phone loaded with camera at every part of it. Noooo rather form a nice pattern at the back . It could be in the form of a diamond, circle or an arc (semicircular shape)

                  GSMARENA team there is slight mistake in review .. under :

                  Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) battery life

                  ''The Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) packs a 3,800mAh battery, a minor bump over the A7 (2018)'s 3,500mAh to go with the minor bump in display size and more powerful/power-hungry chipset.''


                  I think A7(2018) got 3,300mAh battery ... just saying .

                    i love this phone

                      When Samsung misleading their costumers itself with unlogic 4 rear camera. I mean, why you need 1 bokeh kamera if you have another 2 cameras for supporting main camera. That's silly!

So no A series has not bad camera but this one has and I’m quite buffled that gsmarena did not returned that and asked for a good one cause I could not beleve Samsung would make such a big mistake in software for camera. I looks like a broken phone.

                              Damn.... so.... Was I lucky or what? Absolutely no purple cast on my pics. White balance works always fine, even before the two (already) camera updates. The only thing that sucks is that the software switch too quickly from the 2× lens to the main one, applying 2× digital zoom.

                                  Cynthia, 06 Jan 2019Very disappointing quality of pictures !Exactly very low quality

                                    It's surprising that the less expensive a7 has a better camera performance than the a9. Why?

                                      I wish their next A series phones have better quality pictures.
                                      My friend had one, and he was disappointed on the camera.

                                        Cynthia, 06 Jan 2019Very disappointing quality of pictures !The picture is not only depends upon camera but is also depends upon image processing in chip. Sadly it is SD660 in high price. Hope it could be SD710 OR SD845.
