    How long does Samsung A9 battery last?
    micah.rutherford
    over 1 year ago
    Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018): Battery The phone comes with a 3,800mAh battery that lasts quite long. With lighter use, I was able to get 7 hours of screen-on-time on a single charge, with standby time close to 40 hours. With a heavier workload, the phone lasted around 26 hours with 6 hours of screen-on-time.
