Price last checked: 8 Oct 2016. Confirm current price before buying.
Samsung Galaxy A9 price in Malaysia starts from RM1999, positioning it as a mid-range option built around the Snapdragon 652 chipset paired with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage. There's a dedicated microSD slot if 32GB feels tight, letting you add up to 256GB more. The 6.0-inch Super AMOLED screen runs at full HD resolution with a pixel density of 367 ppi, so text and video look sharp for a phone in this class.
On the camera side, you get a 13MP rear shooter with OIS and an f/1.9 aperture, useful for keeping shots steady in dimmer settings, plus an 8MP front camera for selfies and video calls. Battery capacity sits at 4000 mAh, which is generous for its time and should comfortably cover a full day of typical use.
Rounding things out, it has a fingerprint sensor, NFC, dual-band WiFi, and LTE Cat4 connectivity. At 200g and 7.4mm thick, it's not the slimmest device, but the Gorilla Glass 4 back panel adds some durability for everyday handling.
