Not so long ago, Samsung announced its intention to release a fresh line of smartphones for the medium price category... And it's not even about the updated A series models that appeared on the market in early 2017. We are talking about Galaxy C, not the most famous, but no less interesting line of South Korean devices, which is developing at a rapid pace. Let's start with an overview samsung smartphone Galaxy C9 Pro.

Specifications

Initially, Galaxy C positioned itself as an improved analogue of the Galaxy A series. Phones had completely metal case without glass inserts (A has them), large volume random access memory (And cannot boast of this), a processor with a good level of performance and latest android... These were the Samsung Galaxy C5 and C7. But at the end of 2016, the Korean manufacturer expanded the series of mid-range smartphones and the Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro entered the market, which instantly caused a resonance among the “residents” of the mobile gadgets sphere.

Housing

Appearance smartphone is not much different from most of its relatives in samsung... The front panel of the phone includes a standard kit. This, of course, is the display, as well as the speaker located above it, the front camera, the proximity sensor and the manufacturer's logo. A mechanical button “Home” and two invisible sensors - “Return” and “List of applications” were placed below.

The phone has a stylish metal body and 2.5D glass Gorilla Glass 4

The body of the phone, like any model of the line, is completely made of glass. Galaxy C9 Pro has some similarities with the same Galaxy J5 Prime - not only because of the duplicate design of the front, but also because of the strong similarity rear panels... However, the J5 Prime has plastic inserts at the top and bottom of the case, which makes the phone extremely fragile in those places. The C9 Pro, due to its all-metal “attire”, did not take over the weak points from its senior colleague. The device pleases the owners with its durability.

The phone's dimensions are surprising, but they do it nicely. The dimensions of the case are 162.9 x 80.7 mm with a thickness of 6.9 mm. Weight is 189 g. The gadget has a very large display, but the creators of the model managed to maintain its ergonomics. Thanks to the comfortable and well-thought-out proportions, the C9 Pro fits like a glove in the hand.

Unfortunately, there are not so many available colors: rose gold, gold and dark gray.

Technachinka

The phone is equipped with an eight-core Snapdragon 653 processor, clock frequency which is 1.9 GHz. The processor consists of four Cortex A72 cores and the same number of Cortex A53. As gPU here is a fresh Adreno 510.

Such a technical base allows the phone to cope with various daily tasks without any problems. The device will not disappoint inveterate mobile gamers either - the hardware in the C9 Pro runs almost all games without any whims. Exceptions are heavy and resource-intensive 3D “monsters”. Still, it is worth remembering that this is a mid-range phone, not a senior representative of the flagship line.

The gadget has the latest Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow with a lightweight custom TouchWiz shell. It allows you to make the most of the large screen real estate.

Reversible USB connector significantly saves cable connection time

Home function button

The familiar mechanical Home button, located under the screen, now combines several useful functions... First, it can serve as a fingerprint scanner, with which you reliably protect your data from prying eyes. Secondly, double tap this button automatically launches the camera, eliminating the need to unlock your phone. Thirdly, a triple tap on Home will put the phone into one-handed mode. It is very convenient if, for example, you are standing on public transport and the other hand is busy with the handrail.

Blue filter

It's great to see how developers care about their customers. For example, the guys from Samsung are doing everything so that the user can spend as much time as possible with his device, and for this they are trying to make the interaction process as easy as possible. If your eyes get tired of a bright phone screen, the developers from Samsung have already thought about this point and put a blue filter in the C9 Pro.It will carefully reduce the screen brightness and take the strain off the owner's eyes.

Always-On-Display

The developers also figured out how to save their fans from the painful check for updates and notifications. Samsung GalaxyC9 Pro is equipped with Always-On-Display. When it is activated, various useful information is displayed on the phone screen even in inactive mode - calendar, clock, new notifications, and more.

A useful feature, which is equipped with almost all phones older than the economy class, Always-On-Display, brings important notifications to the screen even in offline mode

Camera capabilities

Like some models in the A line, the C9 Pro has an equal power base and front camera... They both have 16 megapixels and have a f / 1.9 focal length. Autofocus is provided for them, which in turn is equipped with phase detection technology. Of course, even though a high resolution lenses, comparing pictures from a middle-class phone and any flagship from a more luxurious niche is not the most interesting thing. The quality of the images obtained on the Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro is quite decent for a mid-range phone, but not flagship.

The phone has several built-in modes, including HDR. If earlier this regime caused many doubts about its necessity and benefit, now, perhaps, everything more users note that this regime is very necessary. Especially when shooting cityscapes, where it is enough difficult conditions for the correct alignment of the photo. This mode allows you to maintain the light balance of the image, not allowing some objects to "fall" into the darkness, while others, on the contrary, remain exposed.

Daytime shooting

During the day and in good light, the C9 Pro produces excellent photo quality. Detail, brightness, saturation and clarity of images - you will have all this, no need to worry. The phone draws out the color rendition “with a bang” - the tones and halftones are as close as possible to the original ones. The pictures come out juicy, but at the same time they look natural, without overexposure and leaving in neon colors. The camera adjusts the white balance extremely accurately and quickly, the same can be said about the brightness. Among other things, autofocus works very quickly.

When daytime shooting you get bright and saturated images The temperature of the photo, as always, is slightly overestimated, but this is only beneficial for photos.In dimmer lighting, the camera slightly reduces the level of detail and a little noise appears in the photo
The camera demonstrates excellent white balance and fast autofocusing, but the foreground often falls into darkness Macro mode also impresses with the level of detail Color rendition in macro mode is excellent, autofocus does not junk
The HDR mode is quite effective, which brings the light balance of photos to harmony, eliminating gaps and overexposures

Night shooting

At night, which also did not come as a surprise, the quality of shooting dropped noticeably. Unfortunately, cameras of almost all behave in a similar way. samsung models, except perhaps the S line. In a poorly lit room or on the street in the evening and at night, the C9 Pro will not be able to please its owner with clear, bright and saturated images. With a lack of light, the camera starts to produce noise, the level of detail drops and the focusing time increases. The picture becomes less attractive, dull, blurry in places. You have to tinker with the phone to achieve any decent result. For example, take not one, but a couple of dozen test shots, or take the most stable position, which would reduce the likelihood of camera shake to zero. This situation would be a little easier if the developers prudently added the optical stabilization function to the phone. However, the C9 Pro lacks such a feature, so at night its owners will have to work hard to get a good shot.

Shooting in a well-lit room turns out to be good, but far from ideal The colors are no longer so saturated, and the image is not so clear The phone is equipped with two types of flash - with cold light and warm light

Front-camera

As already mentioned, the front-facing C9 Pro is not inferior to the main camera. Its resolution is also 16 megapixels. The camera is equipped with a flash, which is a soft backlight of the phone screen. Among other things, the front camera has a beauty mod - a mode that will remove flaws and make your selfies even more beautiful.

Can a cat be even more beautiful than he is? Yes, with the Galaxy C9 Pro beauty mod it will become simply irresistible

Filming

The video resolution reaches 4K UHD quality (3840 x 2160) with a frame rate of 30 fps. The video quality differs enough high level both in the daytime and at night. The only drawback is poor electronic stabilization, which gives the impression of its complete absence. The rest of the video is not satisfactory.

Problem solved

Advantages: 1. High-quality, metal, thin, elegant, stylish body, no worse than the iPhone (bravo, Samsung). 2. Two nanoSIM plus MicroSDXC 256Gb at the same time, which is a real rarity in our time, because most manufacturers now install only a combined slot for one SIM card and one memory card, or two SIM cards, which personally does not suit me at all. 3. Bright large 6-inch screen with juicy pleasant colors. 4. 6 GB of RAM, which even some flagships do not have. It is a pity that the ROMs are only standard 64 GB for today, but this is not bad either. 5. Good old FM radio with the ability to record podcasts, does not require an Internet connection (also missing in most flagships), which is very nice. 6. Smart, elegant interface (the lags of the old tachvis are a thing of the past). 7. High-quality kvalkomovsky percent snapdragon, the GPS chip of which perfectly catches satellites. 8. Nimble camera. 9. Support fast charging via USB Type-C 10. Samsung Pay for Hong Kong - works in Russia! Disadvantages: In the firmware "out of the box" (C9000ZHU1AQG2) there were problems with the popping up message "Overlays detected. To grant permission, first disable overlays ..." utility mapcam.info, which warns the driver about speed cameras during navigation. If the mapkam was given such an opportunity, the notorious "overlays" in other applications began, and if not, then the mapkams did not show their windows with warnings about cameras, but warned only with a voice (female)))). IN new firmware C9000ZHU1AQK1 this bug seems to have been fixed, now overlay messages do not appear. I also noticed a small baggage with the fact that when you first select which application to open any file, be it an image.jpeg, music.mp3, video.avi / .mp4 or even a document.txt / .doc in the standard file manager "My files ", the selected program always opens this type of files by default, although no checkbox was put on the first selection (there it simply is not there). This only applies to the stock "tachviznogo"))) file manager "My files", with third-party file managers (ES Explorer, Solid Explorer, X-Plore, etc.) this does not happen, everything is in order there. The camera is a four, but not radically bad, as some write. Comment: An excellent model, almost a premium smartphone. Unless the camera is so-so, it could have been better, but here apparently the Koreans have either failed to develop the software or have saved on optics. Nevertheless, among devices with 6 GB of RAM, 6 inches of screen, two separate SIM cards, a separate memory card and an old-school "tube")) FM radio recording is definitely the best communicator for today, if not the only one of its kind with this a set of options. Business class device for sure. Of course, it doesn't pull premium, but Samsung has never positioned its C5 / 7/9 Pro line as premium. Otherwise, it is good, I recommend this gadget to everyone if you need exactly what I have listed. You will not regret. The device is really gorgeous both externally and in essence, as a "personal digital assistant"(PDA) for every day with a very pleasant, fast and smooth interface. I bought a proprietary powerbank for it right away and I received a package with a bumper and Nillkin film / protective glass. Samsung Pay works! But do not Root, otherwise the proprietary payment system will stop working!
