Archive.org versionIf however, you don't belong to that category, it's advised that you look elsewhere. At Rs 32,490 the A9 Pro is a little over expensive for what it has to offer. The OnePlus 3 at Rs 28,000 is a better value for money. So are the iPhone 6S and the Nexus 6P. You will have to pay a little more to get the iPhone 6S and the Nexus 6P though.

Archive.org versionAt a price tag of Rs. 32,490, the Galaxy A9 Pro is costly compared to other smartphones in the range, including the OnePlus 3 that offers better performance and a better camera at a cheaper rate. The main highlight of the Galaxy A9 Pro is its huge 6-inch 1080p Super AMOLED display, which is good for media consumption and its huge 5000mAh battery that offers brilliant battery life.

Archive.org versionIn a regular usage the Galaxy A9 pro never disappoints you. Whether it’s multitasking, video playback or gaming, the new Galaxy smartphone handles everything like a Pro. The 6-inch display is bright even in sunlight and produces lively colors. The big battery size of the new Samsung Galaxy A9 pro is wonderful and easily lasts more than a day in a single charge. Camera performance in capturing photographs is decent but video recording could have been better. Good quality images can be produced in both daylight and night time. Button placement is perfect.

Archive.org versionWith the Galaxy A9 Pro, Samsung is clearly taking aim at the battery life champions, such as the Gionee Marathon series and Asus Zenfone Max. But apart from the large battery, we found it to better in almost all aspects such as display, processing power and general UI.

Archive.org versionThe Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro no doubt is a very powerful, classy looking and loaded handset. Battery life is awesome, though the handset is a bit heavy. If you are brand conscious this is a very good option but A9 Pro does come for a premium price of Rs. 32,490.

Archive.org versionThe most notable feature A9 Pro has is its hefty 5000 mAh battery designed to get you enough battery life that lasts longer than any other smartphone. Samsung says it supports fast charging but I doubt how fast it can charge a 5000 mAh battery. On the software side, it is upgraded to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow with TouchWiz UI skin. The Galaxy A9 Pro is priced at ₹32,490. It is available in three colors Black, White and Gold.

Archive.org versionIf you’re looking for flagship performance but don’t particularly care about flagship design, then the Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro (2016) is definitely one of the smartphones you should consider. The powerhouse gaming performance should also equal powerful work performance as well, especially those looking for a bigger screen and fingerprint sensor security. It is a shame there isn't any S-Pen support but the larger battery should guarantee a bit more than a full working day for most working professionals.

Model: With the debut of the Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro, Samsung appears to be targeting a specific set of users – those who are always traveling and hate charging their smartphones every now and then. In essence, the A9 Pro’s body consists of a combination of glass and metal. The front and back panel are protected by Gorilla Glass 4, and joined together by a metal frame. Its size is 80.9 x 161.7 x 7.9 mm and its weighs about 210 g. The A9 Pro feels sturdy but quite hefty in the hands because of its large screen display and battery. This makes it impossible to use this device with one hand only. Samsung’s display prowess makes itself known once more on the A9 Pro’s 6-inch super AMOLED screen, with Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels) and excellent viewing angles even in outdoor use under the bright sunny weather. Samsung claims that the A9 Pro is has 100% color reproduction capabilities, making images and videos look more natural. The A9 Pro also boasts a color depth of 16M, ensuring brighter and more vivid images with deeper blacks and more saturated colors.
The size of the bezel has been narrowed to make the screen appear bigger and a tad more immersive for the users. There is a physical Home button located below the display that doubles as a fingerprint sensor. The most defining trait of the A9 Pro is its massive 5000 mAh battery, which adds several more hours in battery endurance. With the new longer lasting battery, Samsung has promised an internet usage time (3G) of up to 17 hours, video a playback time of up to 26 hours, and a talk time of up to 33 hours. The long lasting battery is also supported by fast charging technology, which reduces the charging time. The A9 Pro comes with Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box. At the heart of the device are a 64 bit octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 processor and 4 GB RAM. This translates to the A9 Pro being well-equipped to handle everyday tasks with ease, such as being able to smoothly open, close and switch between apps, with minimal lag or stutters. It has 32 GB of internal storage that can be expanded by up to 256 GB via a microSD card, more than enough to satisfy the virtual hoarder. Samsung has also furnished the A9 Pro with a 16 MP rear camera and a 8 MP front camera. The f/1.9 aperture lens allows low-light photography, while optical image stabilization (OIS) technology helps to reduce blur in all photos and videos captured by the device. The phone can record 4K videos in 1080p resolution @ 30 fps.

It is a very small display format for smartphones. You should by no means be mis-sighted and you will generally see very little on the screen and only have a small resolution available. In return, the device should be very small and handy.
