Samsung sees what OnePlus, Honor, Nokia, and several other smartphone brands are doing with strong mid-range smartphones, and has been wondering why its own Galaxy A series devices aren't attracting the same level of attention. It's probably because until now, they haven't been all that exciting.

Quad camera is versatile; Premium feel and materials; Two stunning colors; Super AMOLED screen; Sensible battery capacity

Expensive compared to the competition

Without actually getting the chance to properly put those four lenses through their paces, it's impossible to assess the A9. It looks slick, and the substantial storage and AMOLED screen should soften the blow of paying £549 for a mid-range processor. Still, this phone is all about the camera, and right now we don't know if those extra lenses are the next step forward or a goofy gimmick.

Samsung's Galaxy A-series is positioned between its affordable J-series and the flagship S-series of smartphones. This translates into phones that have better hardware and build compared to the J series of phones and a few features that have tricked down from the S-series.

Good; Looks good; Bright; vibrant screen; Good battery life

Bad; Underpowered for its price; Zoom and wide-angle cameras not useful in low light; Spammy notifications

Though I like the specs, i will not buy it. Biggest con i wont buy it because its too big to use or handle. You should think about TaB category is different and phone should be of a size which is easy to carry in pokcet and less radiating effect on body while using either touching on face or keeping...

Bright display; Lightweight; Durable

Too big

When the presence of a dual camera in a smartphone is becoming mainstream and the concept of triple cameras is still a sapling, Samsung pushed all its limits to provide four cameras in its smartphone. With four cameras at the back, the Samsung Galaxy A9 2018 features a total of five cameras.

Sharp and Vibrant display; Substantial storage; Dependable battery life

Gimmicky Cameras; Performance not up to the mark

Samsung and Apple often fight for the title of the world's mobile phone pioneer, as the latest iPhone and Galaxy S models typically come with innovations and new features that are later embraced by the rest of the world too. This is a strategy that certainly makes sense.

Samsung has been the frontrunner in the mobile phone game for a decade or so, and it has shaped the industry into what we see today. In this process, Samsung has popularized many trends – like wireless charging, infinity displays – and defied many others – like the notch.

Stunning Display; Great Battery; Appreciably fast charging; Still has a headphone jack; Wide-angle camera; Dual VoLTE and reliable connectivity

Quad cameras fail to impress; Average performance; No navigation gestures; Slow fingerprint scanner; Bloated UI

Good-looking AMOLED screen; Above-average battery life; Plentiful on-board storage; Dual SIM phone with a microSD card support;

Overpriced; Camera quality is SHOCKINGLY bad; Old software, no word about updates; Processor is much slower than that of rivals in the price range; No 4G connectivity in the US;

Samsung's Galaxy S series is known for its camera performance, but recently the company changed its strategy, and brought a four-camera setup to its mid-range A series first instead of S series. The Galaxy A9 (2018) is the first device in the world to feature a quad-camera setup at the back.
