Samsung today has officially unveiled the Galaxy A9 2018, which as was expected is the first smartphone to feature a main quad-lens camera.
That’s right! This handset features four sensors on the back and we’re going to take a look at each one in turn in a few seconds. But first, check out the main specifications of the device.

The phone has a glass back, but there’s no wireless charging included, as this is still a mid-range model after all. However, it’s definitely a special one thanks to the clusters of cameras on board.
