Samsung Galaxy A9 price allegedly revealed

Announced earlier this month in China, the Galaxy A9 should be available to buy in the near future, and, of course, China will be the first market to get it. While Samsung didn't officially reveal the price of the A9, it looks like the handset will not cost more than $500 (at least in China).

According to a leaked screenshot (see below), Samsung will sell the Galaxy A9 in China for 3,199 CNY - that's about $493.

Sporting a 6-inch Super AMOLED display with 1080 x 1920 pixels, the Galaxy A9 is one of Samsung's largest smartphones to date. Just like the other members of Samsung's Galaxy A family, the A9 is built around a metal frame, and is pretty thin (7.4 mm).

The Samsung Galaxy A9 is one of the world's first devices to be powered by Qualcomm's 1.8 GHz octa-core Snapdragon 652 processor (formerly known as the Snapdragon 620). The smartphone also features fingerprint scanner, a 5 MP front-facing camera, a 13 MP rear camera, 3 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal memory, microSD card support, and a 4000 mAh battery.

At the moment, we don't know exactly where the Samsung Galaxy A9 will be released (besides China). Would you pay $500 for this handset?
