The story of the Galaxy A9 (2018) starts and arguably ends with the four cameras around back. This is the first time a smartphone features so many rear cameras, outdoing even the LG V40 ThinQ and Huawei P20 Pro. Numbers are not everything, however, so let us dive a bit further into the cameras and how the magic happens.
Starting from top to bottom when the phone is vertically-positioned, the first camera is an 8MP ultra-wide sensor with an f/2.4 aperture and 120-degree field of view. Next up is the 10MP telephoto lens with an f/2.4 aperture and 2x optical zoom. The third camera is the main 24MP sensor with a wide f/1.7 aperture, while the fourth camera is a 5MP sensor with an f/2.2 aperture. That last camera captures depth information and allows for the phone’s Live Focus feature.
Taking advantage of the four cameras are 19 image enhancement modes. Each mode offers custom settings for things like food, landscapes, portraits, plants, night scenes, and more. The phone also detects when the subject blinks or is blurry, which should prevent you from taking awkward pictures.
