Following in the footsteps of its first handset with a triple rear camera setup – the Galaxy A7, the South Korean smartphone maker has announced the Samsung Galaxy A9 in Malaysia. The feature that hogs all attention here is the rear quad cameras. Samsung is calling it the world’s first rear quad camera phone.

There’s no doubt that Samsung is doing its utmost to provide top-notch camera capabilities on its devices. The Galaxy A9 is tailored for capturing a dare-devil selfie or a perfect panorama, the company said in its press release for Malaysia. The front, however, gets only a single camera, but it features a powerful 24-megapixel sensor.

Elaborating further on the camera Samsung claims that the Galaxy A9 captures stunning shots even from a distance thanks to the 2x Optical Zoom. There’s also AI Scene Recognition on board that is able to identify the subject and adjust settings accordingly.
