Design

That distinctive sleek design of Samsung phones is very apparent on the Galaxy A9 (2018).

The 162.5×77 mm size clearly points to a large display. The phone is comparatively heavy at 183g and about 7.8mm thick. This could prove quite chunky for average-sized hands.

The curvy design and rounded edges should render it comfortable to carry around though.

Samsung didn’t specify the material used for protection on the display and glass back panel. But considering the Corning Gorilla Glass used on the A7, this shouldn’t be any different.

The smartphone comes in four color options: bubblegum pink, caviar black, and lemonade blue.

On Standby mode, the display doesn’t go dark completely. The ‘Always On’ feature lets users view important info like date, weather alerts, time and incoming notification.

Hardware and Software

The Smartphone features an amazing 6GB of RAM with a very powerful Octa-core processor all housed on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset.

This should ensure high performance throughout the day no matter the number of programs running on the phone.

Running on the Android 8.0 Oreo OS, it has an internal storage of 128 GB that is expandable to a limit of 512GB via microSD card.  That should be enough space even the most avid collector of movies.
