Samsung Galaxy A9 (2016) Review

Score: 74.9 / 100

Samsung Galaxy A9 (2016) is a completely amazing device released some years ago, in 2016, including an enormous 6-inches screen, a very fast 1800 megahertz Octa-Core CPU, and two cameras, a 13 mega-pixels back-facing camera and an 8 MP front camera. That's all? No, it's only the introduction of a much deeper review.

Samsung decided to equip this cellphone with an extremely powerful 1800 MHz Octa-Core processing unit, bundled in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 8976 chip and a great 3 GB RAM memory. This cellphone comes with a impressive 32 GB internal storage and a slot for an external memory card, allowing you to store hundreds of apps without worrying about filling the device.

Samsung did an excellent design job making this cellphone as lightweight as 7.05 ounces. Talking about its design, this cellphone is mostly manufactured with Metal . This device is just 6.37" long, but it's able to fit a a 6 inches screen. This cellphone is extremely slim and stilized, with a thickness of just 0.29 inches. Samsung sells this cellphone in a nice range of color options, champagne gold, midnight black, pearl white and pink.

This device has an absolutely amazing 1080 x 1920 (Full HD) 6" display, which makes everything look amazing.

This phone is equipped with two cameras, a 13 mega-pixels back camera and an 8 MP front side camera. The A9 (2016) also captures videos in 3840x2160 (4K) at 30 fps.

This phone features wi-fi connection (but it can't provide it to other devices as a mobile mobile hotspot), 4G LTE-A ultra fast connectivity and the fastest 3G connectivity, supported by HSPA and HSUPA technologies. The A9 (2016) doesn't use a sim card, because it isn't a GSM device.

This cellphone has an amazing 4000 mAh non-removable battery that can keep it running for many hours and even reach the end of the day without having to charge it at all. An issue to take into account is that this phone's battery is non-removable so you can't change it when it starts to live shorter, although with this big battery you will probably buy a new cellphone before it happens.

This phone also includes a wide range of useful characteristics as Fingerprint Identification, NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth (allows communication with other bluetooth devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

It doesn't matter whether you want it to play games, will use it as a work cellphone, love photography or are looking for a device to majorly use social networks and internet browsing, this phone is definitely the correct choice for you.
