Review: Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro - Multimedia Generation

Last year, Samsung started bringing the "Pro" naming to their Samsung Galaxy series

 Starting with the Galaxy A9 Pro. This visualization was seen focusing on the creation of a 6-inch screen besides offering memory exceeding 4GB of RAM, along with processing chips in the middle class at slightly lower prices compared to flagip devices. On the Galaxy A9 Pro, it also carries a high battery capacity with a capacity of 5000 Mah.



The Galaxy C9 Pro also carries offers 

That are almost similar to what was brought through the A9 Pro, which was also authorized by the 6-inch screen. It also brings increased memory which is now supplied with 6GB RAM as high as memory, in providing comprehensive multitasking capabilities in an easy device. But the capacity is a bit small compared to the Galaxy A9 Pro, which now offers a standard 4000 mAh capacity for devices with a screen of 6-inches.


The Galaxy C9 Pro is also seen giving competition to the Oppo R9s Plus offering almost the same specifications.

The Oppo R9s Plus comes with an AMOLED 6-inch screen, Snapdragon 653 processing chip, 6GB RAM memory, 16MP f / 1.7 camera, with 4000 mAh battery capacity. But the price of this Oppo device is seen to have a difference of as much as RM199, which is RM2498 compared to RM2299 for the price of the Galaxy C9 Pro.



As a device with the name "Pro".

The Galaxy C9 Pro may be said to have a high-level specification offer, at a price of 2/3 than a flagship device. With the offer of a 6-inch screen, it is seen targeting advanced users of devices with large screen screens, together with devices that can provide smooth performance for daily use and games.

Forms

At a glance this device reminds me of the imagery of Oppo and Vivo devices, both in terms of the front and rear parts. It's not like most of the latest Samsung Galaxy A devices, which are more like flagship-like offers through glass-based fiction. But on the Galaxy C9 Pro, it comes with a metal image like the Galaxy J7 Prime but is large and powerful like the Galaxy A9 Pro.

Like the Galaxy C9, it displays an antenna line that can be seen, but now it is refined with three lines. The camera's imagery has also been reduced in terms of thickness, but it is no longer decorated with black frames around the camera like the Galaxy C9. It is also rather thin through the thickness of the device as much as 6.9 mm, but the experience of holding it is not very satisfying. With a 6-inch telephony size, the rather sharp side of the phone makes it less comfortable when holding it for a long period of time. It is not like holding a Galaxy A9 Pro which is more comfortable to hold through 7.9mm thickness.



Speaking of connection ports, he still brought a 3.5mm earphone jack which is located on the bottom of the device. Next to this connection has been placed a USB-C connection which also contributes to the proper charging function. Interesting about this device, it comes with a stereo-based sound magnifier, by making the earpiece a second sound enlarging channel. It also carries two channel microphones, on the top and bottom of the device to make it easier for you to record a conversation or two things.

In terms of exposure, the Galaxy C9 Pro has delivered a 6-inch screen like the one present on the Galaxy A9 Pro. It also offers similar exposure technology, through Super mumbled panels with 1080p resolution. The quality of the screen is seen bright and sharp for daily use, which is also easily seen under the sun. As a safeguard for this exposure, it has been brought in with Gorilla Glass 3 glass to reduce cracks and calibration results rather than user fidelity. At the top of the device puts a 16MP f / 1.9 selfie camera, earpiece, proximity sensor along with the support of notification LEDs that are hidden on the bottom of the glass exposure device.



At the bottom of this exposure, there are three buttons, consisting of two lighted capacities beads which act as multitasking and back buttons. The home button in the middle is also designed based on the item that can be pressed, which also brings the function as a fingerprint impact. In terms of the period of retaliation, this fingerprint performs appropriately, which I may say about 0.4s. It also has several interesting functions, such as the ability to lock applications and files, and make it easier for you to log in when web browsing.


In terms of the position of the button

The power button has been placed on the right side of the device which is easy to reach on one hand. Likewise with the sound dissolution button, it is located on the left side of the device which location is so suitable for the 6-inch device imagery. What's interesting is that it also carries a dual-sim slot and a separate microSD card slot to make it easier for you to use both sims and microSD storage simultaneously. In terms of deposit, it offers a 64GB deposit that can be upgraded to 256GB via a microSD deposit.

System

Galaxy C9 Pro has been implemented with Touch wiz UI, which is based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. This interface displays a container that is packed and cheerful, through a modern display of icons and along with color choices that are enough to drag. The presentation forms are also mastered with concise and minimalist imagery, bringing a touch of one who is present at Material Design. He also performed well, unlike previous versions of Touch wiz which were rather heavy and disrupt the smooth performance.




The display of the home screen carried by the interface still brings the app drawer function to allow applications to be placed more regularly. All applications that are on this app drawer may be arranged according to your choice, not followed by the alphabetical order as done on Google and Pixel Launcher. It also justifies you to exchange themes for your mood and choice, through the support of Samsung Themes, which places a number of downloadable and down-loaded themes.


Touch Wiz Ul also displays some interesting functions including Secure Folder as a center for locking up your personal applications and files. It also includes Samsung Health, which is an application that monitors your daily fitness activities with sync support to be synchronized on other Android devices. Even though it is implemented with Android 6.0 Marshmallow, this interface still provides multi-window support to allow two applications to run simultaneously on this device screen.

Samsung also performs the Always On Display function on the Galaxy C9 Pro to make it easier for you to see the clock and continuous notification of notifications. He also perpetuated several functions that have been present on Samsung devices before this such as Smart Stay, Smart Capture, and one-handed operation, along with the ability to launch the camera's function by pressing the home button twice. For fans of FM Radio, this function is also provided in this device which requires an earphone connection to use it.

Achievement

The Galaxy C9 Pro has been processed with Snapdragon 653 chips, which is the same processing chip used on the Oppo R9s Plus. He presented two different usage clusters, which consisted of powerful use clusters and efficient power usage clusters. The powerful usage cluster consists of 4 x Cortex-A72 1.95 GHz when the efficient power usage cluster represents 4 x Cortex-A53 1.4 GHz. This kind of fabrication allows chips to prioritize a cluster in more detail while also optimizing in terms of performance and also the life span of the battery.

When tested on the Benchmark application, the Galaxy C9 Pro gives a rather high eye for mid-class devices, through the eyes as much as 84.122. He matched the achievements of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 (2015) which gave 83,944 eyes when tested through this level marker application. The achievements of the Pro C9 have also left some of the flagship outputs of the past years such as the Galaxy S6 Edge with around 81,087 eyes, HTC One M9 (79,965), and Xperia Z5 (76,862).

When used in the real world

This device is quite brilliant in dealing with a number of daily assignments on the device without any lag or hiccup issues. Opening the application can be opened immediately which does not require around 1-3 times to wait for the application to be available. Likewise, in terms of achievements when exchanging applications or multitasking, applications behind the veil can be held in a large number of applications, through the use of 6GB of RAM memory. Opening dozens of tabs on Chrome also does not provide a reload problem when the user accesses the previously opened tab.

Opening dozens of tabs on Chrome also does not provide a reload problem when the user accesses the previously opened tab.


His game achievements also gave a fairly brilliant fluency when playing intensive graphics. Playing the game Assassin 'Creed: Identity, GTA: San Andreas, and Bully: Anniversary Edition can be played at a consistent frame rate even though it is set on a high chart constant. The use of the Adreno 510 GPU is of course much help in driving the performance of the game on this device whether it is helped with 6GB of RAM which offers more memory space.

Camera



The Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro has brought the 16MP f / 1.9 main camera as imported on the Galaxy A9 Pro. It is equipped with support such as the Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF) with a dual-color LED flash display for more neutral coloring. But one support that is not present is the support of Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) which helps to improve image sharpness and also video.

The quality of the images presented by this device gives the ability that is bright enough for the intimate depiction of light. The color often seems to drag, which is more in the direction of yellow. The details of the image are also seen sharply when receiving sufficient lighting. What I really like is the control of this device's dynamic range camera that is able to provide a balance of light with a single eye.

The device's camera also offers the ability to portray the night through the aperture f / 1.9.

 It allows more light to be absorbed while providing brighter images for night portrayals. The results are seen to be quite accurate, with noise reduction in dark parts without the need to give picture problems in soft conditions. The light escort is also quite praised, which is able to illuminate the surroundings with enough lighting.

The camera application on the C9 Pro is seen giving a camera interface with a minimum of icons and text. It comes with several standard functions such as panorama, continuous shot, HDR, and Night which can be paired with your photography needs. He also offers a Food function, which is able to improve lighting and color for depictions involving food. If you want to add functionality to this camera application, it also comes with its own marketplace for the ability to load-down additional camera mods.

Only one case that slightly disappointed me was the lack of manual efficacy.

 It only gives users to guard exposure, ISO (100-800), White Balance, and metering without any control for shutter speed. As a device with the name "Pro", the ability of manual photography like this is very encouraging. The Honor 5C device offered at a price of RM799 is far better in terms of manual control, by giving ISO options (100-1600) and shutter speed control from 1/4000 to 8 times.

For selfie depiction, C9 Pro also offers a camera before the 16MP f / 1.9, as has been offered on the A9 Pro. For the quality, the color sometimes fades a bit, not so much when compared to the quality of the selfie than the Galaxy A7 (2017). At indoor locations, it also provides a slight noise appearance in the dark. The result is that I may say simple, not as good as devices that focus on selfies on the market at a lower price than this device.

For video recording capabilities, the C9 Pro is only capable of recording video at 1080p @ although this device is offered to split over RM2000. Snapdragon 653 processing chips are actually capable of recording at 4K resolution, but have been exposed by manufacturers themselves, as experienced by Xiaomi Redmi Note 3. But when talking about the quality of video footage, the results are good for daily recording, especially in terms of focusing, sharpness and color .

Battery

As a device by offering a large screen screen, the Galaxy C9 Pro has been equipped with 4000 mAh battery capacity, resembling what is offered on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4. This capacity has provided a lifetime of use for this Xiaomi device, but with a 6-inch screen, the Galaxy C9 Pros may be impressed by the slightly low usage period. It is also paired with 28nm based processing chips, compared to 14nm (Snapdragon 625) which is more efficient, as it has been present on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4.


As a result of use for a day, the Galaxy C9 Pro is able to provide Screen-on-Time (SoT) readings of around 6 hours 24 minutes with a 24-hour lifespan. It is a pretty good reading because it can give the SoT period more than 4 hours for the entire day. But this reading is a little dead to the Redmi Note 4, which often gives SoT readings around 7-8 hours. In addition to the difference in custom processing chips (28nm vs 14nm), this reading may be impressed by the larger (6-inch) C9 Pro screen compared to 5.5-inches on the Redmi Note 4.



The Galaxy C9 Pro is also equipped with an appropriate charging function, through Adaptive Fast Charging technology. With the 5V-2A / 9V-1.67A charging technique, it is capable of reaching 58% in a 45 minute period which is still feasible like most appropriate charging technologies. Also for full charging, the Galaxy C9 Pro requires 1 hour 36 minutes to charge batteries from 0-100%.

Formulation

Galaxy C9 Pro is enough to meet your needs for those who want a device with a large screen screen, along with the achievement of appropriate devices for the daily. Matching Snapdragon 653 chips with 6GB of RAM memory is able to provide a brilliant smooth performance in addition to providing smooth performance to play games with intensive graphics. It is also designed with brilliant multimedia needs through offering a 6-inch Super AMBLED screen together with the effort of stereo-based sound enlarger.



But the use of the name "Pro" has invited perceptions that are a little skeptical of the inability of these devices. It includes a camera section that does not offer OIS functions, comprehensive manual control, and the absence of 4K support for video footage. Aside from the function of the camera, it also does not carry any smooth support for water which does not run along with what is offered by the latest Galaxy A series. To add more contract angles to this device, I expect the creation to be as interesting as the series of Galaxy A (2017) which now more resembles the flagship imagery than the Galaxy S. series

Pro


  • The camera brings good achievements to depict day and night.
  • Offers smooth achievements for daily and games.
  • Fingerprint give the level of appropriate response.
  • Present with bright exposure through Super AMBLED screen.
  • Provides longer battery life.
  • present is seen as packaged, cheerful, and interesting.
  • Offers dual dual sim and microSD slots.

Cons

  • The design is not as beautiful as other Samsung devices.
  • The camera function does not offer comprehensive manual control
  • There is no OIS support and 4K rage.
  • No splash / waterproof support.

For devices at the surrounding price, the Oppo R9s Plus is seen to provide a better camera capability, especially for those of you who like to use video recording functions. With the addition of RM199, you will receive the availability of a 16MP f / 1.7 camera along with OIS, 4K video support, and more appropriate charging technology through VOOC Fast Charging. Apart from the Oppo device, the OnePlus 3T device is also the ideal choice for prices at prices below the price of RM2500, through Snapdragon 821 processing chips which are more appropriate with 6GB RAM memory usage.

Overall, the Galaxy C9 Pro is still seen as a good device offering through screens, batteries and achievements. It is more ideal for multimedia use with very bright exposure, for playing content such as videos and playing your favorite games. The battery also provides a standard lifespan, which is able to handle your easy use throughout the day. For a price of RM2299, it is a multimedia entertainment package that includes a 6-inch screen together with the appropriateness of a device like a flagship device.
