Price last checked: 20 Dec 2017. Confirm current price before buying.
Samsung Galaxy A9 (2016) price in Malaysia starts from RM1599, positioning it as a large-screen midranger built around the Snapdragon 652 chipset paired with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage. That storage stretches further with a dedicated microSD slot supporting up to 256GB. The 6.0-inch Super AMOLED panel runs at full HD resolution, and at 200g with a 7.4mm profile it's a phone that leans into size rather than hiding it.
The 4000mAh battery is the standout figure here, well above what most phones its size carried at the time. Camera duties fall to a 13MP f/1.9 rear shooter with OIS, useful in dimmer conditions, alongside an 8MP front camera for selfies and video calls.
It ships with a fingerprint sensor, NFC, dual-band Wi-Fi and both 3G and 4G LTE support, running Android 5.1.1 Lollipop with a Marshmallow upgrade planned. It's aimed at buyers who want battery life and screen size over the latest chipset generation.
