Do you remember the days when cellphones only relied on as little as 512MB of RAM or even less? Can you imagine having a smartphone whose processing power is no more than 768 MHz? Considering what smartphones in general, particularly the Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro has to offer, such minute quantities have become somewhat of a laughing stock now.
Build quality and display
The Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro is one of a new breed of Samsung smartphones particularly because it features a design not previously seen in the company’s releases. Though, this design is particularly common among many HTC smartphones, this is the first time Samsung has made use of something that mimics somewhat the iPhone 6S and some HTC Desire smartphones. A metallic back compliments its smooth build while the front is typical Samsung.
The smartphone features a large 6.0 inches Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with 367ppi pixel density. This translates into a gorgeous 1080p HD resolution all encapsulated within a fitness-freak waist of 6.9mm. Such a large display in dimensions like these symbolizes the true beauty of the C9 Pro.
Cameras
If there’s a category about which you simply do not have to panic when it comes to Samsung, it’s the cameras category. We all know about the Korean giant’s prowess in building some of the very best cameras out there and the C9 Pro is definitely equipped with some of the very best Samsung camera sensors.
The primary camera features a 16 megapixel sensor with phase detection autofocus making the sensor seem all the more powerful. The selfie camera features a like-for-like 16 megapixel sensor except that it lacks the phase detection. Nevertheless, we’d be fools to complain about that!
Hardware and software
Now this is where things get a lot more serious. The C9 Pro is all set to become Samsung’s first ever smartphone with 6 gigs of RAM. An Octa-Core processor will certainly get on well with this amount of support meaning that the built-in Android would feel like taking a flight on the Concorde. Other than that, 64 gigs of internal storage further alleviates the smartphone’s abilities while Fast Charge, USB Type-C and a 4000 mAh battery are its other cornerstones.
