Trotz der kleinen Mankos bei der Akustik und der Kamera, erreicht das Galaxy A9 (2018) satte 420 Punkte und liegt damit nur knapp hinter dem hauseigenen Flaggschiff Galaxy S9, das auf 422 Punkte kam. Mit dem Galaxy A9 hat Samsung also eine weitere spannende Alternative in der gehobenen Smartphone-Mittelklasse im Portfolio.

Das Galaxy A9 beeindruckt mit großem und exzellentem Bildschirm, viel Speicher und starkem Akku. Die vier Kameras erlauben das Spiel mit dem Zoom, machen aber keine guten Fotos. Wer ein Galaxy mit guter Fotoqualität und viel Zoom sucht, muss wohl noch bis zum Galaxy S10 im Frühjahr warten.
