Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018)
Worth it if…Worth it, with caveats.
A fun, adventurous quad-camera phone with great flexibility, but it is no powerhouse and its display and camera quality trail the Note 9.

In my words
Straight from the video. Tap a timestamp to hear me say it.
“in my opinion it's a cooler phone than even the note 9 but don't mistake it for one that's better”
“it's looking like a really adventurous twist one that i could see myself carrying with me for that ultra wide lens alone”
