Design and Display
The Galaxy Wide9 features a 6.7-inch PLS LCD display with a resolution of 2400×1080 (FHD+). The front adopts a punch-hole design to minimize bezels, while the back is finished with glossy plastic material. It is available in three colors: Blue, Green, and Black. The weight is approximately 192g, making it relatively light despite the large screen.
Performance and Hardware
The processor uses the MediaTek Dimensity 700 (MT6833) chipset, with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage provided as standard. Storage can be expanded up to 1TB via a microSD card. The battery capacity is 5000mAh, sufficient for all-day use, and supports 15W wired charging.
Camera
The rear camera is a dual setup consisting of a 50MP main (ƒ/1.8) and a 2MP depth sensor, while the front camera is 13MP (ƒ/2.0). The main camera supports AI-based scene optimization and night mode, offering decent photo quality among mid-to-low-end smartphones. Video recording is possible at up to 1080p 30fps.
Software and Features
It runs on Android 14-based One UI 6.1 and supports Samsung's basic apps and Galaxy ecosystem features (Samsung Health, Samsung Pay, etc.). The fingerprint sensor is embedded in the side power button, and facial recognition is also supported. It includes a 3.5mm headphone jack and FM radio for enhanced practicality.
Network and Connectivity
It supports 5G (NR Sub-6) and LTE, and is equipped with Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.2, and NFC. It uses a USB-C port and supports dual SIM (nano SIM + eSIM).
Release and Price
It was released domestically on December 6, 2024, with a launch price of 297,000 KRW (including VAT). It is supplied through the three mobile carriers (SK Telecom, KT, LG U+), and an unlocked model is also available for purchase at Samsung.com and other outlets.
Latest Trends
As of 2025, the Galaxy Wide9 is gaining attention in the mid-to-low-end 5G smartphone market due to its competitive price. In particular, offering 5G and a large screen for under 300,000 KRW appeals to consumers. However, with the release of new Galaxy A series models (such as the A16 5G) in the first half of 2025, some competition is expected. Samsung Electronics is likely to continue its ultra-low-cost strategy combined with carrier subsidies through the Galaxy Wide series, and future models may see improvements such as a 90Hz display or faster charging speeds.
