The Galaxy A9 Pro shall also come with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, expandable via a microSD card slot up to 128GB. It shall most likely have the same 13-megapixel rear-facing camera and 8-megapixel front-facing snapper. Like its base model, it shall also possess a f/1.9 aperture and an optical image stabilization.
There is a good chance that the device would also sport a generous 4,000 mAH battery for longer lasting life.
It is not clear whether Samsung would be launching the Galaxy A9 Pro during the upcoming Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2016 to be held at the end of next month in Barcelona, Spain or a few months thereafter.
The Korean tech giant is expected to launch its latest flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S7 and another variant, the Galaxy S7 Edge, at the MWC 2016 next month but will eventually make it to the retail markets either in March or April this year.
Samsung is also expected to launch this year, possibly in June, the 2016 models of three smartphones in its very popular J series, namely, the Samsung Galaxy J1, the Samsung Galaxy J5, and the best trending handset of 2015, the Samsung Galaxy J7.
Critics believe that it is possible that Samsung would be launching the Galaxy A9 Pro before the Galaxy J series phones but after its latest flagship smartphones so the biggest handset with the best hardware for a non-flagship smartphone line would come out anytime between April and June this year.
