Samsung has officially unveiled its first smartphone with 6GB RAM, the Galaxy C9 Pro. We have been hearing a lot about the phone and just yesterday all of its specs were revealed but there were still some surprises in store.
The Galaxy C9 Pro runs on the new Snapdragon 653 octa-core processor with faster Cat.7 LTE modem, better graphics performance. It has a 6-inch 1080p Super AMOLED display which is kept lit by the 4000 mAh battery on the phone and it you run out of juice there's fast charging support as well. You also have 2.5D curved Gorilla Glass protecting the front of the device.
Just like other C series smartphones the Galaxy C9 Pro also comes with dual-SIM card slots, both nano and you can expand the 64GB internal storage with a microSD slot. Then there's 4G VoLTE support, fast dual-band WiFi ac, Bluetooth 4.2 and GPS. it also has a fingerprint sensor embedded in the home button and NFC for Samsung Pay.
Samsung decided to go with a USB Type-C port on the Galaxy C9 Pro and you have dual speakers here. The earpiece and a bottom firing speaker give you a stereo effect similar to the HTC 10 and iPhone 7.
On the camera front, this is again the company's first smartphone to come with a whopping 16MP front facing camera. There is a 16MP rear camera as well with wider f/1.9 aperture and dual-tone LED flash. We have already talked a lot about the design of the phone from the previous leaks, but we got to know a few more things at launch. The back of the phone is made of aircraft grade aluminum to keep it strong even though the phone measures in at just 6.9mm and the weight in control at just 189 grams. Then there's the new antenna design with 3 thin lines at the back just above the camera module and another set at the bottom which give the phone a much cleaner look.
