Just a while a go, the next generation Samsung Galaxy J family namely the Galaxy J5 (2016) and the Galaxy J7 (2016) popped op on one of TENAA’s certification documents along with many details regarding the specs of the smartphones. Another Samsung branded device has been certified by the FCC and TENAA, namely the Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro, which is the successor of the original Galaxy A9. The phone has the model number SM-A9100 and considering that has been certified by both TENAA and FCC it’s pretty clear that it will be launched in China, then in the United States, and other important markets will probably follow. The device has also been spotted on an AnTuTu benchmark as well as on a GFXBench document. According to the TENAA document, the Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro will be made out of metal and will come with high-end technical specs.
Speaking of specs, the device will come with a large Super AMOLRD display that will measure 6 inches, will have a pixel resolution of 1920 x 1080 and will be protected by a 2.5D arc glass. When it comes to hardware, the Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro will pack a Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 octa-core chipset running at 1.8 GHz. The CPU will be doubled by an Andreno 510 graphics chip and 4 GB of RAM. Storage-wise, the smartphone will come with 32 GB of internal storage, but the phone also sports a microSD card slot so that users will have the possibility to expand the storage space by up to 128 GG if they feel the need. Furthermore, the phone will have support for dual SIM standby and will be running Android 6.0 Marshmallow right out the factory gates.
Moving on to the cameras of the Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro, the phone will boast 16 megapixel primary shooter that will feature OIS, and LED flash, and on the front there will be an 8 megapixel snapper meant for video calls and taking selfies. In terms of connectivity the Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro will come with 4G-LTE, Bluetooth 4.1, Wi-Fi, GPS/A-GPS, NFC, ANT+ and microUSB 2.0 port. Further, the smartphone will have a rather long battery life thanks to its alleged 4000 mAh cell, and it will also come with a fingerprint scanner to ensure better security. The phone measures 161.7 x 80.9 x 7.9 mm and weighs about 210 grams, and it will be available in three distinct color options namely Black, Gold and White.
Anyway, TENAA is roughly the last step a smartphone has to make before becoming available for purchase, and we assume that the company will launch the Galaxy A9 Pro sooner rather than later. In case there will be additional information to share in the coming days, you will find out.
