Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Deeksha Koli]()
Verdict
The Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro is a great device overall and offers everything you need from a smartphone if you’re an average user. But due to its huge screen, it caters to a specific niche. If you need a large-screened device, the Xiaomi Mi Max Prime offers similar specifications, is not as bulky, and comes for two-thirds of the price of the A9 Pro. The MEIZU M3 Max (first impressions) is to launch soon, as well. However, if you just need a good smartphone which offers a powerful processor, great cameras, and ease of use, you might want to go for the OnePlus 3 (review), the ASUS ZenFone 3 (r...

Design: Beautiful But Not Practical
+
One of the bulkiest smartphones we’ve come across lately, the Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro weighs 210 grams. While we understand that most of it is a repercussion of the huge battery, the weight, the thick build, and the huge display don’t work in the favour of the device and handling becomes a big issue. That said, the phone looks rather stunning.

Display: Big, Bright, and Warm
+
While a ppi count of 367 sounds like something one can work with, in theory, the full HD resolution resulting in this count on the A9 Pro does not do justice to the phone’s 6-inch screen. You won’t be discerning pixels at first glance, but the screen definitely doesn’t look as sharp as we’d have liked. Being a Super AMOLED display, the colours look rich but you’ll be able to see a prominent tint of yellow all over. The colours can be changed as the display settings give four options viz. Basic, AMOLED photo, AMOLED cinema, and Adaptive display. AMOLED cinema is the closest you can get to a neutral screen. The viewing angles are great, and so are the brightness levels. No matter kind of lighting you’re in, you’ll be able to operate the screen easily. The touch response is delightful and overall, the A9 Pro has got a decent display.

Cameras: A Medley Of Good And Bad
+
The default camera app on the Galaxy A9 pro does not need any introduction. It has the same bunch of shooting modes, filters, and camera settings as you must have seen on any Marshmallow running Samsung device.

Performance and Battery: The Good And The Great
+
Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 chip the A9 Pro handles everyday use like a pro. You might see a few minor lags, but for most part the usage will be buttery smooth. Jumping on to heavy use, we played titles like Asphalt 8: Airborne, Modern Combat 5: Blackout, and N.O.V.A. 3: Freedom Edition on the A9 Pro. The device starts warming up slightly after 30 to 45 minutes. However, you will start encountering lags and stutters way earlier than that. However, the phone did not heat up to uncomfortable levels at all. Overall, we’d say that multimedia experience on the A9 Pro will be delightful as it can get, but you might not want to go for it if you’re a hardcore gamer. Given that the phone comes with a 6-inch screen, we’d like to assume that the company meant it for users to consume content on the phone a little more than other things.
