Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro Review: The phablet returns to India

I had sleepless nights pondering the matter; my friends’ conflicting views confused me further. Was there no answer in sight? I was hopelessly perplexed. Let me tell you how things came to such a pass.

My tale began with this basic premise: If you’re looking for a phone in the Indian market, there are two options.

At first glance, it seemed like a sleeker successor to Samsung’s Mega phablet range; yet it was packed with 6GB of RAM, six-inch screen and 16-megapixel (MP) front and back cameras — features we’ve come to expect from the upstarts in the mobile market. Yet, the C9 Pro most certainly isn’t an inexpensive phone — the price coming in a shade below Samsung’s flagship models.
