The Galaxy A9 has already been unveiled by Samsung… Well, sort of – the A9 was detailed on the company’s Weibo account earlier this month but wasn’t made official worldwide. But that could soon change, as the largest Galaxy A smartphone recently passed through Chinese certification authority TENAA.

As it always does, TENAA has published a couple of pictures and the specs of the device, though none of this comes as surprising at this point. The Galaxy A9 has a 6-inch Full HD Super AMOLED display with a metal and glass body surrounding it, Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 620 chipset (set to be renamed to Snapdragon 652), 3GB of RAM, and a 13-megapixel rear camera with optical image stabilization.

Also along for the ride are 32GB of internal storage, a microSD slot, an 8-megapixel front-facing camera, a fingerprint sensor with Samsung Pay support, and Android 5.1.1 Lollipop. TENAA doesn’t list the battery capacity, but a 4,000 mAh unit was confirmed by Samsung, making the Galaxy A9 an impressive mid-range device when considered alongside its other hardware features.

It’s only a matter of time before Samsung announces the Galaxy A9 in an officially official manner. Like previous Galaxy A devices and the new 2016 lineup, the Galaxy A9 is likely to be available in China before making it to other markets.
