Samsung is still tight-lipped about the Galaxy A9 Pro (SM-A9100), but the model has already turned up at TENAA and the FCC for wireless certification in the U.S. and China, respectively. The new info contradicts previous reports of the Galaxy A9 Pro in terms of expected screen size.

TENAA is listing the Galaxy A9 Pro as a 6-inch smartphone with a FHD AMOLED panel while an older GFXBench listing from February claims that the device will sport a 5.5-inch display instead. Nonetheless, the rumored 161.7 x 80.9 x 7.9 mm dimensions and 210 g weight both suggest that this will be a 6-inch phablet. Wireless features include WLAN 802.11ac, Bluetooth, LTE, and NFC.

As for internal hardware, both independent sources are saying that the SM-A9100 will carry the Snapdragon 652 (formerly known as the Snapdragon 620), integrated Adreno 510 graphics, 4 GB RAM, and 32 GB of internal storage with MicroSD support up to 128 GB. Cameras include the 16 MP and 8 MP rear and front modules, respectively, with the latest Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow software.

The Galaxy A9 pro appeared in the AnTuTu database and at Bluetooth SIG late last month as well. The 2016 Galaxy A9 was officially announced for the Chinese market back in December.
