Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Ershad Kaleebullah]()
What works?
+
The first thing that impresses about the Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro is its premium build quality. From the use of metal to its finish, the C9 Pro feels like an expensive product through and through. Despite its large screen, Samsung has managed to keep the bezels extremely thin to the extent that it feels almost non-existent. Furthermore, the entire device itself is extremely slim at 6.9mm, making it slimmer than even the OnePlus 3T. I also liked the fact that Samsung provides separate trays for the SIM cards and the microSD card. None of that hybrid slot nonsense. The tactile feedback of the physical buttons (power button and volume rocker) is also pretty good, nothing to complain about.

What misses the mark?
+
Now, the C9 Pro has some issues. While most of the issues don’t necessarily break the experience of using the phone entirely, it is important to note that the competition is fierce and even tiny missteps can hurt sales. For example, the fingerprint scanner is a major let down. I had to validate my fingers at least twice for the scanner to recognise it, on one too many occasions. Another tiny nitpick I wanted to make is that the USB Type-C port at the bottom is not aligned properly and it just looks odd design-wise.

Should you buy it?
+
The Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro is a weird beast altogether. It is a massive phone with absolutely no head-to-head match in the same price range. In that sense, if you are looking for a behemoth of a smartphone under Rs 40,000, you cannot go wrong with the C9 Pro. In fact, it could just be the best massive phone out there. However, phones like the OnePlus 3T, Nubia Z11, Huawei P9 (review), and even the Moto Z (review), offer a lot more bang for the buck. The OnePlus 3T especially one ups the C9 Pro in most scenarios.
