Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro (2016) and Huawei P9 Plus are the latest 4GB RAM flagships of their own companies. Yet, what do you think is the winner if we put them into a comparison?
Huawei P9 Plus vs Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro: International 4GB RAM phablet war
Huawei P9 Plus vs Galaxy A9 Pro! It is the first time, everybody! They are all powerful 4GB RAM flagships the companies have just launched recently. About similarities, we can see each of them packs 4GB RAM, Full HD resolution, a Super AMOLED panel, Android Marshmallow OS (although they have a bit different versions: 6.0.1 for Samsung and 6.0 for Huawei, with Emotion UI 4.1 on top), a microSD card slot to expand its internal memory (up to 128GB), an 8MP selfie camera (with f/1.9 plus 1080p), a fingerprint scanner, and fast charging tech. In general, they are good phablets, but we still have to pick out the stronger, and differences may help.
In terms of Huawei P9 Plus specs, there are a 5.5-inch screen with 401 ppi, a HiSilicon Kirin 955 (quad-core 2.5GHz + quad-core 1.8GHz) chip, 64GB ROM, a dual 12MP rear snapper (supported by f/2.2, Leica optics, PDAF, plus dual LED flash), 3D Touch tech, stereo speakers, a USB Type-C port, and a 3,400mAh battery. Well, those are such top features for smartphones today, promising to bring you great experience in using. However, not all of them are better than Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro specs. Specifically, the A9 Pro (2016) owns a bigger display measuring 6.0 inches and a much larger cell capable of 5,000mAh. Your device will last at least more than 2 days.
However, for the rest, the A9 Pro seems less strong than its rival. It’s got only 367 ppi, a Snapdragon 652 (quad-core 1.8GHz + quad-core 1.2GHz) processor, and 32GB ROM. Some modern specifications like 3D Touch, USB Type-C and stereo speaker are not on board. As for main shooter, we cannot tell for sure whether the Galaxy A9 Pro’s 16MP sensor (equipped with f/1.9, autofocus, OIS plus LED flash) is also not as good as the Plus’s since in fact, it is an excellent cam as well.

So, in case of looking for a big phablet having a huge batt and a more affordable cost, Galaxy A9 Pro can be the right choice.
