Flashback of Samsung

Edited: Apr 08, 2019, 5:02 AM

Phone owned for less than a month

We were very keen on working with the world's first smartphone with 4 lenses
When we opened the box, the first thing that drew our attention was the blue and beautiful color of the device،But a few things got dismayed quickly and with the hands on of the device
We did not transfer what we had to do to our hands
The design of the device is incredibly large and thin, the aluminum round the device to transfer the sense of plasticity due to the color of the material.
Turn on the device, Samsung logo and a relatively fast boot
The screen quality of the device is good, but for a device with a four-dimensional lens module it looks weaker.
The camera test surprised us, the speed of the lens, the details of the photos were all excellent, but the quality of the videos was not acceptable at all, and was lower on the level of a smartphone.
Finally, the price tag will dissipate our device from buying this device
With this price range, you can now buy flagship such as the S9 and XZ3, which have been discounted due to the introduction of newer models, which have far more powerful hardware and features, if not the only reason you would buy a quad-facing A9 camera.
