At the end of September, thanks to Insiders, the network has information about Samsung Galaxy A9 Star Pro, which turned out to be quite unusual smartphone Due to the presence of a quadruple main chamber. Yes, you did not hear: the rear camera of this apparatus includes not even three, but as many as four modules.
The most interesting thing is what sAMSUNG solution I decided to try out not on the flagship, but on the model, in fact, the average price range. Indeed, Galaxy A9 Star Pro is based on a far from the top chipset Qualcomm Snapdragon 660, which does not prevent him from becoming a "talented photographer."
So, back to sAMSUNG chamber Galaxy A9 Star Pro. As mentioned above, it includes four modules:
- The main "portrait" with a resolution of 24 MP, the base for which serve Sony IMX576 sensor (such is used in OPPO R17).
- Wide-angle with a resolution of 8 MP.
- "Telephoto" with a resolution of 10 MP (double zoom).
- Auxiliary with a resolution of 5 MP, designed to measure the depth of the space and simulating the optical effects of the type of popular "bokeh" on portrait pictures (artistic blur).
Apparently, we are dealing with the final configuration of the newly announced, which add a 10 megapixel module with a telephoto lens. In the amount of the Basic A9 Star Pro camera has a huge resolution of 47 MP.
The question remains what will be the resulting number of megapixels at the exit snapshot. It can be assumed that it will be 8 MP - at minimal resolution of a sensor that is not auxiliary. In general, the principle of choosing just such a "single-caliber" scheme remains a mystery.
The main camera Galaxy A9 Star Pro is very similar to Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018); the main module has a light lens with Aperture F / 1.7 and phase autofocus, wide-angle - F / 2.4 at a focal length of 13 mm and without autofocus, and auxiliary - F / 2.2.
As for other characteristics, the basic sAMSUNG version Galaxy A9 Star Pro has 64 GB integrated memory and 4 GB operational. It is possible that there will be other configurations. It is assumed to have a dedicated slot for microSD memory cards, as on cheaper A-series smartphones.
Concept with curved side faces like Samsung flagships
The screen "professional and very star" A9 has a permission of FullHD + 1080 × 2220 (aspect ratio 9 to 18.5) with a diagonal of 6.28 MP, based on the matrix Super Amoled.. On some concepts, the smartphone is drawn with a curved display, but this option is most likely a purely fantasy designers.
The future owners of Galaxy A9 Star Pro should please a very decent battery with a capacity of 3750 mAh with support fast charging Adaptive Fast Charging. Works apparatus under android management 8.1 Oreo with SAMSUNG EXPERIENCE 9.5 shell, next year an update is expected to Android 9.0 Pie.
Release date Galaxy A9 Star Pro
It is assumed that Samsung Galaxy A9 Star Pro will be announced on October 11 at a special presentation that the Korean giant will spend in New York. In addition to this smartphone with a four-third chamber there will be a few more interesting new products.

Camera
Part of the camera parameters are taken based on Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018), since there is a very similar configuration with the exception of the module with the telephoto lens.
Koreans presented the world's first smartphone in the world - SAMSUNG GALAXY A9 (2018). Price at starting sales - 39990 rubles.
Someday this madness will end, but while the chambers racing only gains momentum, and the number of lenses on the smartphone lid increases. The double camera has become commonplace even for state employees. Triple debuted at the beginning of 2018 B, and by the end of the year "Tee" can already be found in middle-class smartphones. For example, in or represented recently. Four cameras previously nobody put into smartphones, but today the Seoul company has corrected this misunderstanding.
October 11 Samsung announced smartphone Galaxy A9 (2018), in which back cover Four lens are banging at once. Since this is the first phone with such a rich package, it is the camera configuration that will get the lion's share of attention. We will also talk about other characteristics, but you can't find something extraordinary among them.
Where to start, from the camera or common characteristics New? Perhaps, let's start with the key characteristics of Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018), in order not to violate 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 per 1080 pixels (18.5: 9).
- Four chambers: 24 mp + 10 mp + 8 mp + 5 megapixel.
It should be noted that the Korean company used the services of partners and put the exynos corporate chipset to the phone, and the best processor for the middle class Snapdragon 710. In principle, such a solution must be welcomed, because in terms of work with the Qualcomm chips, if neither twist, better. Configuration - 6/128 GB I. 8/128 GB Battery is good. The screen on the tradition of the brand received a proportion of 18.5: 9. Cutout under frontal chamber No, we also write down in a plus.
Note. Many people write that Galaxy A9 2018 received Snapdragon 660. Yes, this processor was waiting for, but at the last moment the information was received that the phone came out on Snapdragon 710. Samsung support does not yet know which chip is in their new product, there is no data on the official data site. As soon as accurate information appears, we will update the publication.
SAMSUNG GALAXY A9 (2018): camera
Four cameras in the smartphone we see for the first time. The decision is interesting, although some questions arise. For example, is it necessary to have a depth sensor in the phone, which in addition to the main module with a standard focal length has wide-angle and telephoto lenses? But first things first.
SAMSUNG GALAXY A9 Camera Configuration (2018) Next. There is a standard module, wide-angle lens and telephoto lens. The fourth module is a depth sensor that has become a mandatory attribute for medium-budgetary category smartphones. It is used to analyze the depth of frame and imitation of the bokeh effect in portrait mode.
Main module Built on sensor with resolution 24 mp.. High resolution improves the detail, but due to the fine pixel, problems with excessive digital noise are possible. On the other hand, the level of brightness can be reduced by reducing the sensitivity of the matrix, but for this you need a "light" optics. The diaphragm of the main module is really wide - F / 1.7. In addition, the post-processing algorithms, with which the Koreans are in perfect, are greatly helped in the suppression of noise.
Second module Equipped with a sensor with a resolution 10 mp.. It is screwed to it telephoto The lens that allows you to implement a two-time optical approximation without loss of quality. Aperture is not so light - F / 2.4.What makes it difficult for approximate shooting with poor lighting. It is the telephoto lens that distinguishes the Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) chamber from a tee, which debuted in Samsung smartphone in the model Galaxy A7 (2018). There are three cameras: standard, wide-angle and depth sensor.
Third camera With a resolution 8 mp. works with wide-angle optics. The viewing angle is 120 degrees, aperture - F / 2.4., that is, the same as the telephoto lens. Interestingly, the configuration "Standard + Wide Agricultural Camera + Telephoto" received recently. It is clear that competitors could put in LG V40 Thinq and the depth sensor, but decided not to do this.
Fourth camera Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) received a modest sensor 5 mp. and lights 2.2 . Additional camera is used to analyze the depth of frame and defocusing the background in portrait mode. In principle, other modules would be perfectly handled with the analysis of depth, only for the sake of this fastening the fourth sensor was not worth it. But you can not forget about marketing and advertising; The very fact of the presence of four cameras gives a tremendous advantage in the competitive market.
What is missing chamber Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018)? Obviously optical stabilization. It remains the prerogative of flagships, middle-class smartphones OIS. Rarely gets. No in Galaxy A9 (2018) and a variable aperture that expands dynamic range galaxy cameras S9 + and. It turns out that the chamber does not reach the title of "flagship", its main chip is an increase in the number of modules.
SAMSUNG GALAXY A9 (2018): screen, processor, battery
Screen. Smartphone Samsung. Galaxy A9 (2018) received a corporate Super AMOLED screen with a diagonal of 6.3 inches. The proportions are the same as the flagships, the cutout at the top of the display is not; In this matter, Koreans are still conservative. Resolution 2220 at 1080. pixels.
CPU. Against other middle-class smartphones, the novelty is highlighted by a hardware platform. To date, Snapdragon 710. It is the best chip for medium price range devices. This is a powerful 8-nuclear chip whose capabilities of which the overwhelming majority of users is enough with a solid reserve. A chip on the standards of 10 nm of the technical process is produced, which promises good dividends on autonomy, especially if the battery is 3800 mAh.
Internal memory B. samsung Phone Galaxy A9 (2018) will be 128 GB, But with the operational there are options. You can choose between 6 GB and 8 GB RAM. If photo / music / video storage is missing, there is a card slot in the smartphone microSd memory. You can put a card at 512 GB, which in the amount with the internal drive will create a 640 GB storage.
Battery. SAMSUNG GALAXY A9 (2018) smartphone (2018) is equipped with a good battery on 3800 mAh.. Supports fast adaptive charging. Wireless charging not.
Other features. With the rest of the characteristics of Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) too full order. NFC is, as well as 3.5 mm connector. Bluetooth 5 and Wi-Fi 5 GHz communication standards are supported. No protection from water, but this is normal. The phone is charging through Type-C. Case glass, fingerprint scanner is located on the lid. As an alternative identification option, you can use the removal of the lock on the scanning of the face.
All SAMSUNG GALAXY A9 (2018) features can be viewed in the table, after which you find the cost information and the release date of the novelty.
