Samsung Galaxy A9 was launched in December 2015. It is a very decent mobile phone with Super AMOLED Full HD Display. The device is fired up by a powerful Qualcomm MSM8976 Snapdragon 652 chipset and whopping 3 GB Ram is installed in the device. All in all its a good mid-range phone, though the specs are pretty good but still it doesn’t fulfill the requirements to be categorized as the flagship phone.
