Galaxy A9 2018 - Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I heard there's a release for this phone.. Guys o just want to know how stable it is.. Anyone using the Galaxy A9 2018 on Android Pie? Any bugs? I'm eager because the description with the update says “improved camera” and lord knows I'm not impressed with the Samsung's quad camera at all.. Images are dull. Anyone can testify to that.

Images are very dull

Camera 2 API

Hello,
did Samsung add Camera 2 API to the Note 4 firmware?
This is the only one thing stops me from buying it.

Not really. Does camera firmware allow to give RAW image instead of JPEG?

hi,
Something interesting what i read today, May something to take note of?
is that the just announced LG G4 will support DSLR type features and RAW capabilities and o yeah removable battery .. plus Fm radio? Specs overall seems promising? Interesting and i will watch the LGG 4 reviews closely
Good luck
LG 4 is hmmm this is not THE Note
Note 4 is still superb but camera lacks API 2.0 it seems. However when we would compare camera GUI to the LG cam GUI I would choose Samsung over LG anyway.

hi ,
yes, i have a similar viewpoint ( i have Note 2 ,Note 3 and Note 4 and Note 8.0 )
No removable battery , no sd slots ,....no camera 2api ( raw capablities ) ...is the Note 5 in line for these "improvements"
If so, i feel i must have alternative choice ,so for me LG is staking a strong claim ?
Its only the Spen functions ,that will keep me back .
Anycase when Samsung did not implement Camera 2 api ,i gave up hope and instead upgraded my old bridge camera to a Nikon DSLR ..(so i am happy ).
good luck
I think I will not like Note 5 so much due to its build. I think its gonna be like S6, very glassy fingerprint like material. I had S6 in my hands and I was disappointed how uncomfortable it lied in my hand.
But we will see.
LG G4 if becomes a superb phone I may give it a chance but it may end like One Plus One's camera - hugely hyped, final effect is poorer than skeptics thought.
I still sit with SGS II, there is always something I do not accept - in S6 I do not like materials, in S5 no camera stabilization.
Note 4 I love but no API 2.0.
Lg G3 camera is quite low (I mean GUI and possibilities).
note 4 is getting camera api so if thats holding you back you should not wait. the SD note 4 is having problems with camera api with long delays when taking pictures which is why it is not released. get an exy note 4 and camera api 2.0 will come in a future update.
Why the exynos? Won't Qualcomm ones have it to?
if they cant fix the bug only the exys will get it.

I like the look of the G4,however if like the G3 and G2 it has a locked bootloader which will take ages to get an unlock fix for, then forget it.

no thats still under debate. work has not even started on that yet.
So to get final conclusion it is highly unlikely Note 4 would get Camera 2 API implementation.... what a shame.
I say this because when you think it is obvious if Samsung wanted it to be, they would add it in LP release together with x64 CPU support.
Can you guys help us with this PETITION for RAW Support??? Please, thanks in advance, cheers:fingers-crossed:

Need advice: S3 Neo or A3?

I need some advice ... which should I choose between a Samsung S3 Neo and an A3? .. Seem similar in performance but the price difference is big ...
What do you think? Thanks in advance for any opinion!

Go with A3 for sure...
Coz it has 5 mp front camera and the main thing is it will get lollipop official update...

I know that S3 Neo, unfortunately, will not get lollipop official update, but in terms of performance, would be a good choice or not?
I have not used any of the two models, but I want to give a smartphone as a gift to my wife and I want to make the best possible choice.
There are too few comparative tests on the internet to make me a general idea ...
The performance justifies the price difference?

Instead of A3, you can go for J7. If you are looking for samsung phone under 15000 rs then you definitely go for J7. That will be much better phone in terms of configuration, camera & OS....
Sent from my GT-I9300I using Tapatalk
S3 still yhe better phone. Great display, perfect unofficial development and more. A3 is with smaller body and lower resolution. Lollipop isn't something increadible. S3 9301 is with better rear camera and with removable battery. 9301 is perfect phone!
check this http://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/Samsung-Galaxy-A3,Samsung-Galaxy-S3-Neo/phones/8932,8584
Personally between those two, I'd go for the A3 if just for the build quality. Plus, there are way more color options to choose from.
I've chosen S3 Neo

Help me! Should I sell S6 and get Nexus 6P

Last few years I had Nexus 4, and Nexus 5, absolutely loved them.. This year I switched from Nexus 5 to galaxy S6 and I love it too except that software is pretty ****e..
Touchwiz is slow and laggy, memory managment is sh*t, 0 dev support, 0 aosp roms, slow updates...
On the other hand, nexus is completely different story, pure stock android, fast and fluid, 0 memory issues, amazing dev support, fast updates..
But the thing thats holding me atm is that i will kinda downgrade cpu from exynos beast CPU to snapdragon 810.. also display is gorgeous on s6 and camera is amazing..
Help me :/ what should I do
I am selling my S6 once my pre order arrives in November.
While I do like the camera, battery is so so, root is out the door with the latest versions of Android, TW absolutely sucks and I can't stand the memory management.

Yeah I'm gonna sell S6 probably..
Too bad i live in croatia and i cant preorder it :/
I have to buy it from amazon cuz google store is not available in my country
Sold my s6 edge and preordered the nexus 6p..using my moto e backup device until the beast arrives in November... You get far better speakers, far better battery life, far better, latest pure Android os on the 6p.. I know for sure that I won't miss the camera and screen of the s6 edge, as it won't be day and night difference.

I really think you answered your own question...It's nice that N6P comes with Android M...So it would be the "first" to have the official M build. But in the grand scheme of things, the N6P are just lacking in too many features and the SD810 chipset is very questionable.
I'd suggest letting others be the guinea pigs, wait for some reviews, then make a much more inform decision.

Yeah exynos CPU is good but TW ruins it, also display quality is not big of a difference :C
As far as pixel ratio sure.. But the S6 is super amoled. And if you don't lie TW you can check the S6 forum to see if there's a M Rom available.

Why Iphone 6S+ Still better on S7Edge ?

İ dont understood it S7Edge newest on 6S+ but still better on s7 edge. i watch some videos on youtube and what i see ? apple single core cpu is better on s7 edge. wtf ? and i see other games apps. and still better 6s+
this is a android fails? or something. i dont believe it. i think must better s7edge on 6s+
IPhone 6s has dual core CPU and a six core GPU.
It seems that IPhone's UI relies more on the GPU. That's probably why it probably appears smoother than android.
Also, iOS is better optimized for the hardware.
Android can be installed on basically anything. I saw a fridge running some android interface. TVs have android.
Android is very versatile, but because of this it's also hard to optimize the code.
iOS runs on only few select devices, and only the ones that Apple own, that's the reason why it may run better and with less bugs. Google make android run on many devices, Apple makes iOS run good on a few devices.
Still, I prefer Android to iOS anytime. Android is customizable and I can do anything to it. With IPhones I have just that, a phone for the most part.

This would have been exactly my answer. Apple from the get go make their own device to run their OS to spec. Rely on gpu base ui to male everything butter smooth and optimize for everything to be fast. I like ios but prefer android for the flexibility i get. I had a iphone 6s acouple of month ago and i thought i was inlove until i came back to the note 5 and saw the amazing screen and back to all the flexibility.
As has been said before, iOS supports a limited range of hardware and a single GPU architecture (PowerVR).
Android has to support a much wider range of hardware, including multiple CPU architectures, let alone GPUs (and screen resolutions), so it is much, much harder to extract every ounce of performance from a given set of hardware.
I really don't understand the importance of chasing benchmarks these days, when even mid range Android devices are fast enough.

Dave

IOS has great optimization and usually the apps are more optimised than android counter parts, let us not forget the lower resolution as well. Android is not optimized as IOS but it has lot of features that IOS does not have, still the S7E is better than iphone 6s in every way, idk how it will fare vs Iphone 7 though.

why you guys think all vendors are making there own chips/socs now days? it`s called vertical integration and it`s why 8890 runs over the SD820 phones because they optimize the Soc specific to the SW <--- apple..if apple was half as open source as Andriod and would let go of there greedy ****ty IOS I might consider buying a Apple device actually, but as of right now....NO WAY IN HELL!
If Samsung made they own operating system on galaxy S7 edge then it should run more smoother then apple.
Why do people believe in benchmarks?
Even a budget phone can run most app smooth and fast.
I think flagship phones are for high end games and best camera. For normal use £70 budget phone runs fast.

I don't even think you have a exynos s7 or edge by your statement. The s7 exynos is everyday as smooth as the 6s. Think your trolling, show me/us a screen shot ! And yes..apple is waaaay overpriced for what you get.

could try and see if you can get a samsung s4 mini, like my other phone,
that is 4 inch and quite small, but less ram and storage space and slower CPU.

that samsung s4 mini is compatible with the latest LOS?
i see there are variants of this model, does it matter when buying? a generic one works?
there is no better option for small size like 4-inch size?

Not oreo , but the nightly for LOS 14 yes,
Ive got the 3g model, and it works brilliantly, does everything I could possible want
and batteries are a lot easier to try find.
