Bottom Line
While the large 6-inch display may not be for everyone, the Samsung Galaxy A9’s metal and glass flagship design, high-end performance, and incredible battery life may make you give this plus-size phablet a second look.
The Samsung Galaxy A9 is a 2016 6-inch mid-range phablet praised for its premium design and high-end features. Just as you would expect from mid-to-high-end Samsung devices, design and build quality are at the top of the Galaxy A9’s long list of superlatives. Users and critics alike loved the breathtaking metal-and-glass design. Packing some heat under the hood as well, the phablet offers great gaming and multitasking performance. Features like NFC and a fingerprint scanner do not hurt as well. Some users did not like the low 1080p resolution, which results in low pixel density due to the large screen. However, Samsung’s Super AMOLED technology keeps the screen gorgeous, and the reduced resolution grants the phone supreme battery life.
