14 DAY TRIAL // Those who have been following our reports on the unannounced Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro know that there's little to no information about the upcoming phablet.
Aside from the fact that it should pack a massive 6-inch display, nothing else has leaked regarding the Galaxy A9 Pro's specs. The good news is the smartphone has just popped up at GFXBench, which means we now have a better idea of what it has to offer.
But let's start with some of the things that don't seem to add up. Some of you might recall that a Samsung smartphone with model number SM-A9100 has been recently spotted at Zauba with a 6-inch display.
It looks like a handset with the same model number is now listed at GFXBench, but with a much smaller 5.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display that supports full HD (1080p) resolution.
The good news is the rest of the phablet's specs seem worthy enough for a high-end smartphone. For example, the Galaxy A9 Pro is powered by a 1.8GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 processor, paired with an Adreno 510 graphics processing unit and no less than 4GB of RAM.
A high-end phablet with great potential
Furthermore, the device packs 32GB of internal memory, but there's no mention of microSD card slot for memory expansion. However, we can safely assume that the Galaxy A9 Pro will come with that feature since all other handsets in the Galaxy A series have it.
Another strong point of Samsung's upcoming high-end smartphone is the 16-megapixel camera on the back, which features autofocus, face detection, LED flash, and full HD (1080p) video recording.
There's also an 8-megapixel camera on the front for selfies and video calls. The prototype unit tested with GFXBench runs Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, so it's safe to say that the final build will be launched with this version of the platform.
Last but not least, the test also lists some other features of the Galaxy A9 Pro like accelerometer, barometer, compass, GPS, lightsensor, pedometer, proximity sensor, Wi-Fi and NFC (Near Field Communication).
