Previous reports believed that the Galaxy A9 will sport a 6-inch capacitive touchscreen display. However, the device is expected to come with only 5.5-inch full HD AMOLED display with 1920 x 1080p resolution. It's also said to be pre-installed with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, but users can opt to update to the latest operating system, Android Marshmallow. It will be equipped with 32 GB of internal storage, which can be expandable up to 128 GB via microSD card.
Geek Says noted that it will feature a 16-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front camera. Other rumors point that it will come out with rotating camera just like the Oppo N1. The battery pack is not yet made known though.
According to Yibada, the expected price of the handset is around $500 and it may be launched before the end of the year. But there are reports that it may be delayed since its predecessor was just recently released back in July.
