Rumors of two Samsung devices got conflated – the
G8850 with dual cameras and what eventually became the Galaxy S Light Luxury
(aka S8 Lite). G8850 rumors have been revitalized with this short hands-on
video and its purported name is “Galaxy A9 Star”. Note that the S Light Luxury
was rumored as the A8 Star at one point.
Anyway, according to TENAA, the phone packs a 6.28”
AMOLED screen with 1,080 x 2,220 px resolution (note that TENAA updated the
specs since they were initially published). It comes with a large 3,700 mAh
battery and will have slightly different dimensions than the Galaxy S9+ -
thinner, but taller and wider.
The camera – which is in the corner, an unusual
design for Samsung – is a dual shooter with 24 MP + 16 MP sensors. The selfie
camera has a 24 MP sensor. The Galaxy A9 Star G8850 runs Android 8.0 and has 4
GB of RAM plus 64 GB of storage (and a microSD slot).
