First launched back in October, the Galaxy A9 (2018) gets the title of the World’s first smartphone with a total of four rear cameras, and it is one of Samsung’s attempt to appeal to developing markets and a younger audience in the West who are priced out of flagship devices. Samsung has now released the Galaxy A9 (2018) in India, with a price tag of INR36,990/ $517 for the base variant with 6GB RAM, while the 8GB variant goes for INR39,990/ $559.
The major selling point of the device is, of course, its Quad camera setup, with each of the four optimized for different functions. While the main 24-megapixel f1.7 camera primary shooter is positioned for low-light shots, it is assisted by an 8-megapixel, ultrawide 120-degree camera for group or landscape shots. The 10-megapixel telephoto, on the other hand, will offer 2x optical zoom, while the 5-megapixel camera serves as a depth sensor that will let you adjust your background blur in real time.
