The Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) is an Android-based phablet smartphone developed by Samsung Electronics within the Samsung Galaxy A series. Officially revealed on October 11, 2018, during the "A Galaxy" event held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, it serves as the follow-up to the Samsung Galaxy A9 (2016). Notably, this model is recognized as the first smartphone globally to incorporate four distinct cameras on its rear panel. The device showcases a 6.3-inch Super AMOLED Infinity Display featuring gently curved edges akin to the design of the Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018), and it supports immersive audio through Dolby Atmos technology.[1][2] Actor Ayushmann Khurrana has been appointed as its brand ambassador. This model precedes the introduction of the Samsung Galaxy A70.

Specifications

The Galaxy A9 (2018) is equipped with the following technical details.[3][4][5][6]

Hardware

This device runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC[7], featuring an octa-core CPU composed of four high-performance 2.2GHz Kryo 260 cores alongside four energy-efficient 1.8GHz Kryo 260 cores. Graphics are handled by the Adreno 512 GPU. The phone offers either 6 GB or 8 GB of RAM and includes 128 GB of built-in storage, expandable up to 512 GB through a dedicated microSD slot.

Display

The A9 (2018) boasts a 6.3-inch Super AMOLED screen with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080x2220 pixels and an aspect ratio of 18.5:9. Its display adopts curved edges reminiscent of the S9's Infinity Display, though it features broader bezels and lacks the curved side panels.[8]

Cameras

The device’s rear camera array includes four sensors: a main 24MP f/1.7 lens for standard shots, an ultra-wide 8MP f/2.4 sensor offering a 120-degree field of view, a telephoto 10MP f/2.4 lens with 2x optical zoom, and a 5MP depth sensor designed to enhance bokeh effects.[9] The front-facing camera has been upgraded to a 24MP sensor and is equipped with its own dedicated flash.

Video capture supports resolutions of 2160p and 1080p, both recorded at 30 frames per second. However, slow-motion video functionality is not available.

Operating System

The device comes pre-installed with Android 8.0 "Oreo" and features Samsung Experience 9.0. Users can upgrade the software to Android 9.0 Pie when available.

Additional Features

Among its notable functionalities are Bixby integrated with a dedicated Bixby button, an Always-on Display, and a front panel protected by Gorilla Glass paired with a reflective glass back. The phone is offered in three color options: Caviar Black, Lemonade Blue, and Bubblegum Pink. Certain variants also provide Dual SIM capability. Fast charging is supported via the USB-C interface.

Availability

After its launch, Samsung confirmed that the handset would be released in select regions starting November 2018, with plans to expand availability to additional countries subsequently.

Galaxy A9s

The Galaxy A9s shares a similar design and technical specifications with the Galaxy A9 but is intended exclusively for the Chinese market. The suffix 's' distinguishes it from the existing Samsung Galaxy A9 Star, which is based on the Samsung Galaxy A8 Star platform and also targeted solely at consumers in China.
