14 DAY TRIAL // Evan Blass, VentureBeat's mobile reporter, leaked a press render on Twitter which shows that the 2018 installment of Samsung's A9 series will come with a quad-camera setup on its back.
According to the leaked press render, the Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) will come with a primary 24 MP camera featuring Samsung's Clear & Bright tech coupled with 120-degree ultra-wide 8 MP camera with a f/2.4 aperture.
The other two cameras Samsung added to the back of the Galaxy A9 (2018) are a 10 MP telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom and a 5 MP depth camera with live focus.
Given this quad-camera, each of the available sensors should be able to offer improved image quality while taking photos in certain conditions or modes.
Moreover, as reported by GSMArena, the Galaxy A9 (2018) also made an appearance on GeekBench's benchmark website, showing up as "samsung SM-A9200" with a multi-core score of 5844 when being tested using Geekbench 4.3.0 for Android AArch64.

The Geekbench result entry also confirms that the new smartphone will come with a Snapdragon 660 SoC coupled with 6 GB of RAM, and will have Android 8.0 Oreo as the operating system on launch.
According to previous leaks, the 2018 A9 will also come with a 6.38-inch FHD+ display and a hefty 3,720 mAh battery.
Furthermore, the new Galaxy A9 is supposed to also come with a fingerprint sensor, although its location isn't yet known.
Although the four camera setup Samsung plans to add to the Galaxy A9 could be seen as excessive by some, there are also rumors of other smartphone manufacturers one-upping them by releasing devices with five cameras on the back.
As previously reported at the beginning of September, Nokia might be planning to unveil a new smartphone model featuring five different cameras on the back with Zeiss-certified lenses.
