The Samsung has launched the world’s first quad rear camera setup smartphone in India on November 20.

The Samsung Galaxy A9 sports a 6-inch super AMOLED Infinity display and is available in two variants 6GB/128GB and 8GB/128GB. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy A8+, which features an edge-to-edge display and comes with a dual camera set up at the front is a pretty good device at the price, which it comes.
