Samsung Philippines has just launched its latest mid-range smartphone for the Philippine market, the Galaxy C9 Pro.
When we see the word Pro, it usually means something bigger, and more powerful. And that is indeed a fact for this smartphone. Despite sporting a very slim form factor, it sports a huge 6-inch Full HD Super AMOLED display with 2.5D Gorilla Glass protection, which should be perfect for media consumption and gaming.
The C9 Pro packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 653 Octa-Core processor paired with a whopping 6GB of RAM, which should enable it to handle everything from multi-tasking to heavy gaming with ease. It also has 64GB of internal storage expandable with a MicroSD card.
As for imaging, the C9 Pro sports 16MP cameras on both the front and back. This means that you’ll get the same great quality on selfies as you do with normal stills. The device also has a 4000mAh battery and runs on Samsung’s custom skin on top of Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.
The C9 Pro sports a Fingerprint sensor housed by the Home button and uses a USB Type-C interface. It’s also Dual SIM capable and is fitted with NFC.
The Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro will be offered in Gold color and will be available in stores on April 22 for PhP27,990. As an added bonus, those who buy it on launch day will also get a FREE Level U Pro Headset worth PhP3,099. You can also purchase the C9 Pro at 0% installment for up to 24 mos (BDO/Citi).
