Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) - Do these four cameras make any sense? By MOBOSdata

Samsung Galaxy, a 9 2018, is the first phone on the market that has a quad camera setup. Let's see how it's performed on our test. My aim is now, and you're watching another mobile data review, Samsung Galaxy a 9 is the first phone with a quad camera setup on the back and for now it seems that they only serve as a marketing tool, so it had to take a leap from three to four cameras, but soon we'll see evening. V, camera smartphone by Nokia LG has also patented a 16 camera phone, which is just too much but don't be too surprised, provided that all these cameras do something and do it well and that the phone itself provides a good cost, the quality ratio. Then there should be no problem. Let's see whether the a9 performs that well, but first, let's take a look inside the box there.

We can find the phone itself user manuals a simple tool in ear, Samsung headphones with silicon bonds, USB type-c cable, as well as a fast charging adapter bill quality is OK, but the phone's bank doesn't feel like it's made of glass, even though it definitely is. The edges are made of metal and the fingerprint scanner is placed on the central part of the back panel. The a9 comes in caviar, black laminate, blue and bubblegum pink. Let's now see what we have on the front panel Samsung rarely makes mistakes with its screens, and this time the Super AMOLED 1080p display has hit the bull's eye. Some people, don't like the curved screens on s and note phones, but here we have nothing to complain about, since the display of the a9 is completely flat.

The colors on the screen are very vibrant. While in the settings menu as before, we can find adaptive display, Amelia cinema I will add photos and basic profiles. This is one big phone, especially due to the 6.3 inch display around which there are somewhat thicker bezels. However, this is obviously a battle. Samsung chooses not to fight the standard.

Always-On display also present on this phone shows the date time and notifications when the phone is locked and there's a lot of different look that you can download from the Samsung. It means app. Something quite odd can be found in the heart area. Everyone would rightfully assume that Samsung would put their own Enos chip set into this phone. However, they have opted for Qualcomm snapdragon 616 platforms.

All nine phones come with the snapdragon 660, no matter where they're sold paired with the chipset. There are either six or eight gigabytes of ram. Taking into account that this year's s9 and s9 + didn't have the eight gigabytes option, we could assume that the a9 should belong to the high class. However, the snapdragon 660 is not a flagship class chipset. The GPU placed inside the chipset is, of course, the adrenal 512.

Judging by all this, only the chipset itself isn't the best while everything around it is. This is proved by the an tutu benchmark, where the phone squirt only slightly about 140,000 points and honestly, we expected more using the phone in general- is an OK experience, menu navigation, video, viewing music reproduction. As well as playing some medium demanding games is a satisfying experience. When you put the phone under heavier pressure, you can notice a drop in frame rate, but it's not that significant in the software sense Samsung in their fashion, didn't implement the latest Android 9.0. They usually take their time to build a stable version before they place it on their phones.

We have 8.0 Oreo here or which there is this Samsung one UI, since Samsung really has so many phones to cover with updates. We understand that it's not an easy feat. The primary speaker is located next to the type C port on the bottom of the phone. It is only average because the volume and quality are not that good at all. You may even have an issue with this position, since it happens quite often that you cover it with your hand when you use the phone in the landscape mode, for example, when gaming or viewing videos we don't have stereo sound.

So in such cases that sound quality is poor. However, things are completely different when we talk about headphones, but more on that a bit later. The main portion of this review and probably the reason why you're here are the cameras of this phone and, as you can see, the a9 has four of them or five. If you count the front-facing one, the primary camera consists of an 8 megapixel, ultra-wide f 2.4 sensor, a 10 megapixel telephoto F 2.4 sensor with 2 times, optical zoom, a 24 megapixel, F, 1.7 primary sensor and finally, a 5 megapixel depth of field F 2.2 sensor. This was one quite long sentence with a lot of numbers, but let's now see how these numbers perform in practice photo quality of the first phone with 4 camerae is subpar in daylight.

A regular photos tend to be overexposed in the bright parts and underexposed shadows. Noise is noticeable, especially in nighttime. Shots and colors are not vivid, will always point it out that we like natural colors, but here there are too bland even more than necessary. The camera will use its potential when you switch the angle too wide when taking a group photo when you zoom in without any loss of quality, or when you take photos in the portrait mode, then doesn't natural and job separating the edges by all in all, the quality of these photos doesn't justify the price at all. The selfie camera in this phone consists of a 24 megapixel F 2.0 sensor, and the results here are much better than on the main camera photos are plenty detailed, and you can take excellent self-portraits. The phone can capture videos in maximum 4k resolution, and you can make use of electronic image stabilization when recording full HD videos.

Video quality is also only average, but it will do this job as long as you don't expect any professional quality videos. Great news is that the line has a tray that can house two SIM cards and a micro SD card for storage expansions of up to 512 gigabytes. This expansion won't be a problem since the memory card slot is separate, so you can use all three cards at once. This phone has all modern connectivity options, including NFC and type-c port at the bottom there's also a 3.5 millimeter or your port. The sound quality through the headphones is excellent, especially together with Dolby Atmos system that is implemented into the phone, but if you're, an audiophile you'll notice that the quality is still not as good as you get through tuned AKG headphones that you get together with s and Note series phones, taking into consideration the price point and class, we can say that all around the results are fine, but not excellent.

The battery in this phone has the capacity of 3800 William hours, and it perfectly suits it, taking into account that there is a 14 nanometer chips at inside. The top of your results are just great. The phone can last up to a full day on a single charge, and if you're, not a power user, it will even hold up to two days. Total screen on time with brightness set to around 60% active Wi-Fi and medium use goes upwards of eight hours. A pass charging system is here only to complete the story about battery.

It takes around one hour and 15 minutes to fully charge up the phone from zero to 100%. Slowly, but surely we're coming to the point in a review where we can basically summarize everything that we have said. Samsung Galaxy 89 is definitely a solid phone, with a good display and even better an autonomy regarding the battery, but it didn't perform where it should have in the camera segment, which is the focus point of this phone. If you haven't even thought about getting spectacular photos out of this phone, we have to disappoint you. The s9 + note 9, May, 20 pro or any other flagship that essentially only a hundred to two hundred euros more expensive are much better phones than ba9.

If you are already planning to spend around six hundred euros, our genuine advice is to either reach a bit further and get a flagship or simply buy a much less expensive phone, such as Xiaomi.
