The Koreans presented the world's first smartphone with four cameras - Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018). The price at the start of sales is 39,990 rubles.
Someday this madness will end, but for now the camera race is only gaining momentum, and the number of lenses on the cover of a smartphone is increasing. Dual cameras have become commonplace even for budget employees. The triple made its debut at the beginning of 2018, and by the end of the year, the “tee” can already be found in middle-class smartphones. For example, in or recently presented. No one had previously installed four cameras in smartphones, but today the Seoul company has corrected this misunderstanding.
On October 11, Samsung announced the Galaxy A9 (2018) smartphone, which has four lenses on the back cover. Since this is the first phone with such a rich package, the camera configuration will get the lion's share of attention. We’ll also talk about other characteristics, but you won’t find anything extraordinary among them.
Where to start, with the camera or the general characteristics of the new product? Let's start with the key characteristics of the Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018), so as not to break the usual format:
- Processor Snapdragon 710, 10 nm, Adreno 616.
- RAM: 6 and 8 GB.
- Internal memory: 128 GB, there is a microSD slot.
- Battery 3800 mAh.
- Screen 6.3 inches, Super AMOLED, 2220 by 1080 pixels (18.5:9).
- Four cameras: 24 MP + 10 MP + 8 MP + 5 MP.
Note that the Korean company used the services of partners and installed in the phone not the proprietary Exynos chipset, but the best processor for the mid-range Snapdragon 710. In principle, this decision should be welcomed, since in terms of working with graphics, Qualcomm chips, whatever one may say, are better. Equipment - 6/128 GB and 8/128 GB The battery is good. The screen, according to the brand’s tradition, has an aspect ratio of 18.5:9. There is no cutout for the front camera, which is also a plus.
Note. Many people write that the Galaxy A9 2018 received a Snapdragon 660. Yes, this processor was expected, but at the last moment there was information that the phone was released with a Snapdragon 710. Samsung support does not yet know what chip is in their new product; there is no data on the official website. As soon as accurate information becomes available, we will update the publication.
Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018): camera
This is the first time we've seen four cameras in a smartphone. The solution is interesting, although some questions arise. For example, is a depth sensor really necessary in a phone that, in addition to the main module with a standard focal length, has wide-angle and telephoto lenses? But first things first.
The camera configuration of Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) is as follows. There is a standard module, a wide-angle lens and a telephoto lens. The fourth module is a depth sensor, which has become a mandatory attribute for mid-budget smartphones. It is used to analyze the depth of the frame and simulate the bokeh effect in portrait mode.
Main module built on a sensor with resolution 24 MP. High resolution improves detail, but due to the small pixels, there may be problems with excess digital noise. On the other hand, the level of brightness noise can be reduced by reducing the light sensitivity of the matrix, but this requires “bright” optics. The aperture of the main module is really wide - F/1.7. In addition, post-processing algorithms are a great help in noise suppression, with which the Koreans are completely fine.
Second module equipped with a sensor with resolution 10 MP. Screwed to it telephoto a lens that allows for 2x optical zoom without loss of quality. The aperture is not so bright - F/2.4, which will make it difficult to take close-up shots in low light. It is the telephoto lens that distinguishes the camera of the Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) from the tee that debuted in the Samsung smartphone in the Galaxy A7 (2018). There are three cameras: standard, wide-angle and depth sensor.
Third chamber with permission 8 MP work with wide angle optics. Viewing angle 120 degrees, aperture - F/2.4, that is, the same as for a telephoto lens. It’s interesting that the recently introduced camera received the “standard + wide-angle + telephoto” package. It is clear that competitors could have included a depth sensor in the LG V40 ThinQ, but decided not to do so.
Fourth chamber Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) received a modest sensor 5 MP and aperture 2.2 . An additional camera is used to analyze the depth of the frame and defocus the background in portrait mode. In principle, other modules would do an excellent job of analyzing depth, but it wasn’t worth attaching a fourth sensor just for the sake of it. But we must not forget about marketing and advertising; The very fact of having four cameras gives a huge advantage in a competitive market.
What's missing from the Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) camera? Obviously optical stabilization. It remains the prerogative of flagships and mid-range smartphones OIS rarely available. The Galaxy A9 (2018) does not have a variable aperture, which expands the dynamic range of the Galaxy S9+ and . It turns out that the camera does not reach the title of “flagship”; its main feature is an increase in the number of modules.
Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018): screen, processor, battery
Screen. The Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) smartphone received a branded Super AMOLED screen with a diagonal of 6.3 inches. The proportions are the same as the flagships, there is no cutout at the top of the display; Koreans are still conservative on this issue. Permission 2220 by 1080 pixels.
CPU. Compared to other middle-class smartphones, the new product stands out due to its hardware platform. Today it is Snapdragon 710 is the best chip for mid-range devices. This is a powerful 8-core chip, the capabilities of which will be sufficient for the vast majority of users. The chip is produced according to the 10 nm process technology, which promises good dividends in terms of autonomy, especially if the battery is 3800 mAh.
The internal memory in the Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) phone will be 128 GB, But with the operational one there are options. You can choose between 6 GB And 8 GB RAM. If there is not enough space to store photos/music/videos, the smartphone has a slot for a microSD memory card. You can install a 512 GB card, which together with the internal storage will create a storage capacity of 640 GB.
Battery. The Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) smartphone is equipped with a good battery 3800 mAh. Fast adaptive charging is supported. There is no wireless charging.
Other characteristics. The rest of the characteristics of the Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) are also in perfect order. There is NFC, as well as a 3.5 mm jack. Bluetooth 5 and Wi-Fi 5 GHz communication standards are supported. No water protection, but that's ok. The phone is charged via Type-C. The case is glass, the fingerprint scanner is located on the lid. As an alternative identification option, you can use face scan unlocking.

Samsung has decided to please its users with the release of a smartphone with 4 main cameras, the Galaxy A9 Star Pro. Earlier, many insiders published a render of this smartphone online, but in reality the device may turn out to be different, while the 4 cameras will not go anywhere. In addition, journalists revealed the technical characteristics of the new gadget.
Samsung Galaxy A9 Star Pro will receive 4 main camera modules. The modules will differ in resolution and other characteristics. Thus, the device will be equipped with an 8-megapixel module with a wide viewing angle of 120 degrees, two telephoto modules of 5 and 10 megapixels, as well as a 24-megapixel main module. The front camera of the A9 Star Pro will receive a 24-megapixel IMX576 module (a similar one is installed in the flagship Oppo R17).
First render of Samsung Galaxy A9 Star Pro
Externally, the smartphone looks quite attractive, it resembles the company’s Star smartphones, which were produced a long time ago even before the advent of Android smartphones and were widely popular. Four cameras can actually greatly improve the quality of photos and videos, but this is just a theory and the results may not be as good in practice.
New render of Samsung Galaxy A9 Star Pro with four main cameras
The Samsung Galaxy A9 Star Pro will be equipped with a Snapdragon 660 processor, 4 GB of RAM, a SuperAMOLED display with a diagonal of 6.28 inches, FHD + resolution and an aspect ratio of 18.5: 9.
SPECIFICATIONS Samsung Galaxy A9 Star Pro
- Display Diagonal: 6.28 inches
- Type: Super AMOLED
- Separate capacity: 2220 x 1080 pixels
- CPU Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 clocked at 1.8 GHz
- Video processor Adreno 512
- Memory Operating: 4 GB
- CameraMain: 8 MP + 5 MP + 10 MP + 24 MP
- Front: 24 MP
At the end of September, thanks to insiders, information appeared on the network about the Samsung Galaxy A9 Star Pro, which turned out to be a very unusual smartphone due to the presence of a quadruple main camera. Yes, you heard right: the rear camera of this device includes not even three, but four modules.
The most interesting thing is that Samsung decided to try this solution not on a flagship, but on a model, essentially, in the middle price range. Indeed, the Galaxy A9 Star Pro is based on the far from top-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset, which does not prevent it from becoming a “talented photographer.”
So, let's return to the camera of the Samsung Galaxy A9 Star Pro. As mentioned above, it includes four modules:
- The main “portrait” one with a resolution of 24 MP, based on the Sony IMX576 sensor (the same used in the Oppo R17).
- Wide-angle with a resolution of 8 MP.
- “Telephoto” with a resolution of 10 MP (2x zoom).
- Auxiliary with a resolution of 5 MP, designed to measure the depth of space and simulate optical effects such as the popular “bokeh” in portrait photographs (artistic background blur).
Apparently, we are dealing with a modified configuration of the recently announced, to which a 10-megapixel module with a telephoto lens was added. In total, the main camera of the A9 Star Pro has a huge resolution of 47 MP.
The question remains, what will be the resulting number of megapixels of the output image. We can assume that it will be 8 MP - according to the minimum resolution of the sensor, which is not an auxiliary one. In general, the principle of choosing exactly such a “different-sized” scheme remains a mystery.
Based on the fact that (minus the telephoto module) the main camera of the Galaxy A9 Star Pro is very similar to the Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018), it is likely that the main module has a fast lens with an aperture of f/1.7 and phase detection autofocus, and a wide-angle lens of f/ 2.4 at a focal length of 13 mm and without autofocus, and the auxiliary lens is f/2.2.
As for other characteristics, the basic version of the Samsung Galaxy A9 Star Pro has 64 GB of internal memory and 4 GB of RAM. It is quite possible that there will be other configurations. It is assumed that there will be a dedicated slot for MicroSD memory cards, like on cheaper A-series smartphones.
Concept with curved side edges like Samsung flagships
The screen of the “professional and very stellar” A9 has a FullHD+ resolution of 1080×2220 (aspect ratio 9 to 18.5) with a diagonal of 6.28 MP, based on a Super AMOLED matrix. Some concepts depict a smartphone with a curved display, but this option is most likely purely a fantasy of the designers.
Future owners of the Galaxy A9 Star Pro should be pleased with a very decent 3750 mAh battery with support for Adaptive Fast Charging. The device runs Android 8.1 Oreo with Samsung Experience 9.5 shell; an update to Android 9.0 Pie is expected next year.
Galaxy A9 Star Pro release date
The Samsung Galaxy A9 Star Pro is expected to be announced on October 11 at a special presentation that the Korean giant will hold in New York. In addition to this smartphone with a quad camera, several more interesting new products will be presented there.
