Although Samsung is still the biggest smartphone company in India by market share, it has proven to be less agile than the multitude of Chinese companies which have entered India over the past few years. Xiaomi, Lenovo, Oppo, Vivo and others release new models every six months or so, and with each cycle, better hardware is squeezed into tighter budgets.
We get the distinct feeling that this is exactly what Samsung is trying to fix with the release of the Galaxy C9 Pro. With a big screen, big battery, high-end cameras and 6GB of RAM, the Galaxy C9 Pro hits a number of obvious targets, and will appeal to a lot of people for a lot of different reasons.
While great on its own, this phone isn't quite as powerful as the OnePlus 3T. The Moto Z is also more powerful, and Samsung isn't even trying to compete with the whole Moto Mods ecosystem. As good a phone as the Galaxy C9 Pro is, Samsung is really banking on brand power and buzz-worthy specifications here.
It's also worth noting that the C9 Pro is positioned only slightly below the Galaxy S7. Last year's flagship is superior in terms of style, performance, camera quality, battery life and ruggedness, which all seem like good enough reasons for us to recommend spending an extra Rs. 6, 500. Of course, if you can wait a month or so, we'll see how Samsung adjusts the prices of both these models once the Galaxy S8 is announced.
