Phone is slugish, and an overall let down, battery life sucks, and texting is just not even worth the hassle,

Not as advertised very cheap feel to it and it's main feature the camera ignore the hype nothing at all special about it average pics sent it back must do better Samsung

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

The Samsung Galaxy A9 is a good looking, feature packed smartphone with standout camera spec.

Impressive quad-cam setup; Large; bright; colorful display

No wireless charging; Runs the older Android Oreo

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.

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;

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.
