Samsung Galaxy Note 5 just hit the market not long ago, but now we are informed of a new Samsung phone in the works. Most people would think about Samsung Galaxy S7 at once since many rumors about that remarkable flagship have been spreading on the internet these days. Though, it is not! Actually, it is a machine belonging to the Samsung Galaxy A range, called Samsung Galaxy A9.

Obviously, it is the successor to Samsung Galaxy A8 launched in July, 2015 and said to be powered by a Snapdragon 620 SoC chip. Recently, the device also appeared in the database of GeekBench with the model number known as “Samsung msm8976fhdlte-eur-open”. That’s pretty complicated!

However, it gives us some hint about the Samsung Galaxy A9 specs. Specifically, we notice the part “msm8976”, which usually refers to the presence of Snapdragon 620 processor with CPU consisting of eight cores — quad-core Cortex-A72 and quad-core Cortex-A53. Moreover, the chip has the ability of recording 4K videos and playback. As for other Samsung Galaxy A9 specs, there are a rear 13MP camera, 3GB RAM and Android 5.1.1 Lollipop OS.

Well, there is not much detailed information of Samsung Galaxy A9 features released at the moment, but we have seen its scores on the benchmark: 1325 points in the single-core test and 4461 points in the multi-core test. In fact, they are quite an impressive results for SD 620, a chipset considered Qualcomm’s “not premium” silicon.

In terms of Samsung Galaxy A9 price and availability, we have received no info related to them. Anyhow, we wonder if Samsung really wants to introduce up to 2 Galaxy A products this year or they will wait a bit more to make Galaxy A9 a “bomb” smartphone in early 2016.

Then, what do you think about the idea of Samsung Galaxy A9?
