Too bad all four cameras suck.

Unlike most of our in-depth reviews, Im just going to dive into the camera performance on this unit.

All 4 cameras on the Samsung Galaxy A9 are disappointing

Thats inexcusable when cheaper phones with lower-grade hardware can snap decent pictures without skipping a beat.

That said, the colors are more neutral and allow for greater flexibility when youre editing images.

The 10-megapixel f/2.4 telephoto lens allows for 2x optical zoom, but its awful at capturing detail.

The A9 includes a 24-megapixel primary shooter, a 5-megapixel camera for depth, and two additional lenses for wide shots and optical zoom

Images turn out significantly softer than if you use any of the other lenses.

Thats a shame, because the A9 is otherwise a decent phone.

I imagine it could find more than a few fans with those attributes.

The Galaxy A9 handles most apps without breaking a sweat, thanks to the nimble Snapdragon 660
