Samsung releases 6-inch Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro in the Philippines. The 2016 version comes with a big display and an even bigger 5,000 mAh battery.

What good is your smartphone if it can't last at least day? Samsung's answer to the question is the powerful Galaxy A9 Pro. Now in phablet territory, the phone features a 6-inch full HD AMOLED display, and a ginormous 5,000 mAh battery. To give you an idea how big that is, it takes 160 minutes (!) to charge the phone from zero to full, even with fast charging.

Let's take a look at the rest of the specs. Under the hood is an 1.8 GHz octa-core Snapdragon 652 processor aided by 4GB of RAM and an Adreno 510 graphics chip. It also comes with a high resolution 16MP main and a large 8MP front camera. Both come with fast f/1.9 lenses. Internal storage is set at 32GB, expandable via microSD card slot that supports up to 256GB. Lastly, the phablet runs on the latest TouchWiz, based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

Quick Hands On

The phone's build is a mix of glass and metal. It felt good in the hand despite the size, and it weighs in at a light 210 g. Swiping between home screens showed no lag. It was fast and responsive. The UI, animations and transitions also felt quick and smooth, and doesn't feel rushed.

The Galaxy A9 Pro (2016) will retail for P25,990. It will be available at all Samsung Experience Stores and authorized dealers nationwide.

Samsung is building a revolutionary ROLL-UP smartphone

GETTY • US PATENT OFFICE Example of a flexible display, LEFT, and the illustrations filed with the Samsung patent, RIGHT Samsung has been awarded a US patent for a brand-new foldable, rollable display to use across its smartphone and tablet ranges. The South Korean technology firm recently used its flexible display technology in the award-winning Galaxy S6 Edge, which has a dual curved QHD screen.

The Samsung Galaxy Note7 (S820) Review

This year has been difficult for smartphones, which is a bit of a paradox when you consider just how much better things have gotten compared to last year. With Snapdragon 820, 650, 652, and 625 we've finally moved past the shadow of the Snapdragon 810, 808, and 617/615. While there were Android devices that shipped with the Exynos 7420, they were often paired with a modem that was not necessarily the most power efficient. Despite all of this, there seems to be a general disappointment with smartphones. People are increasingly finding it hard to justify phones like the HTC 10 or Galaxy S7 with competition from OnePlus, Xiaomi, and even Apple with their iPhone SE. In this context the Galaxy Note7 brings much of the flavor of the Galaxy S7 edge, but blends it with the S-Pen of the Note line and a few new features like the iris scanner. If you were paying attention to the industry with the launch of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note5, it's very much more of the same rather than the m
