Samsung at the end of 2016 expanded its line of mid-range C smartphones and launched into the market new Galaxy C9 Pro. Owners of this device will be able to get at their disposal as much as 6 GB random access memory and an AMOLED display with a diagonal of 6 inches. None of the company's smartphones, including flagship models, has such a memory capacity and screen size, so the new product immediately aroused deafening interest in the field mobile devices... Let's study the review and carry out a detailed description of the Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro.
Design and appearance
Externally, the smartphone is a classic performance from samsung... The designers have kept the original concept and vision of how a mobile phone should look. Clean contours, straight lines and a one-piece metal body create an ergonomic and stylish look.
The first thing that catches your eye is the size of the display. He's really great here. The 6-inch screen is used for the first time in smartphones of this brand. Surprisingly, the handset feels no more than the iPhone 7 Plus, which has a 5.5-inch display. This is achieved due to the fact that engineers and designers were able to competently think over the ergonomics of the phone. With impressive dimensions of 162.9x80.7x6.9 mm, the Galaxy C9 Pro is surprisingly good in the hand and allows you to conveniently use all the buttons.
The new model is available in two colors: gold and pink. It is worth noting a new design innovation in the form of antennas with three stripes along the edges of the rear panel. This version looks much brighter than the usual wide stripes that stand out against the general background of the metal body.
Below the display is the standard Home button with a fingerprint sensor. To the left of it is the multitasking key, and to the right is the Back button. The control buttons are invisible on the panel and, when activated, are illuminated by LEDs.
On the left side of the phone are the standard volume keys. The bottom of the case houses the headphone and USB-C jacks, as well as the microphone and speaker. Additional overhead speakers and a microphone are also located above the display. There is a dual-color dual LED flash on the back near the camera.
On the right side of the phone is the power button and two slots for microSD and SIM. A pleasant surprise lurks here. The Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro does not present owners with a choice of how to make the best use of the available slots. If you want, you can add up to 256GB of additional memory, while still leaving room for two 4G LTE SIM cards. This is the undoubted advantage of the new smartphone.
Multimedia
The AMOLED display is capable of delivering detailed images in FullHD 1080p resolution. The picture on the screen has rich shades and colors. Brightness and contrast are as usual on top. Samsung knows how to please their audience, so finding complaints about the display can be tricky. The 6-inch diagonal has become one of the main features of the new smartphone. With such a screen, a completely different experience opens up when watching videos or playing games in applications.
Camera
In the Galaxy C9 Pro, the main and front cameras have the same 16MP resolution. The lenses have an f / 1.9 aperture and phase detection autofocus. The cameras shoot in good quality, but in comparison with the flagship models, they can be called mediocre. The dynamic range is quite weak, but the HDR mode performs well. It allows you to obtain optimal shadows and balance in bright areas of photos. Video shooting takes place in 1080p at 30 FPS. The only significant drawback is the lack of an electronic image stabilization system, but in general, video recording remains at its best. All photos and videos are characterized by maximum detail, color saturation and good focus.
Sound
Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro has advanced audio features. The new smartphone has stereo speakers with support for the popular Cirrus Logic codec. It opens up a new sound of your favorite tracks with a high-quality bass range.
Internal filling
For the European and American markets, the smartphone is presented in the SM-C900F configuration. It is powered by an eight-core Snapdragon 653 processor clocked at 1.95 GHz. The chipset uses four high-performance Cortex A72 cores and four energy efficient Cortex A53 cores. The quality and processing of graphic elements is ensured by the new Adreno 530 video accelerator. Huge, by the usual standards, 6GB of RAM are responsible for the instant performance and responsiveness of the smartphone when working with "heavy" applications. The standard built-in memory is 64GB. For those who will not be enough, there is an additional microSD slot that expands the memory up to 256 GB. The smartphone works on the basis of the operating room android systems 6.0 Marshmallow with functional and stylish TouchWiz interface.
There are no complaints about the performance of the mobile phone. It does a great job with daily options and basic tasks. Large amount of RAM provides high performance and multitasking. You can open up to 6 applications on the screen in PopView mode and the phone will still show excellent results. The latest gaming news can be easily launched on high settings graphics. Of the minuses, we can only note that with prolonged loads from applications, the upper part of the case begins to warm up significantly.
Accumulator battery
A smartphone with 6 GB of RAM and a large screen requires a large battery for reliable and long-lasting operation. Samsung has taken this aspect into account and installed a 4,000mAh battery. The model has a fashionable function Quick Charge 2.0, which allows you to charge the battery up to 100% in an hour and a half. With normal operation and standard screen activity, the device will last 24 hours. With intensive use and continuous work with applications, the charge will last 6-7 hours.
Output
Summing up, we can safely say that the Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro turned out to be a successful and multifunctional smartphone. Almost all customer reviews are positive - they note good quality assemblies and elaboration of all elements of the phone, excellent characteristics. In the domestic market, the model is sold at an average price of $ 470.

Not so long ago, Samsung announced its intention to release a fresh line of smartphones for the mid-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 a review of the Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro smartphone.
Specifications
Initially Galaxy C positioned itself as an improved analog galaxy series A. The phones had a completely metal case without glass inserts (A has them), a large amount of RAM (A 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
The appearance of the smartphone is not much different from most of its congeners at 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 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 on 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. Will not disappoint the device and inveterate mobile gamers - 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.

The familiar mechanical Home button, located under the screen, now combines several useful functions. Firstly, 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. Third, a triple tap on Home will put the phone into one-handed operation. 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 brightness of the screen 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 that almost all phones older than the economy class are equipped with, Always-On-Display, displays important notifications on the screen even when offline
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 despite the high resolution of the lenses, comparing pictures from a mid-range 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 city landscapes, where the conditions are rather difficult for competently arranging photography. 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, you should not 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 autofocus, 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 this 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.

Filming
The video resolution reaches 4K UHD quality (3840 x 2160) with a frame rate of 30 fps. The quality of video recording is quite high 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.
