Samsung Galaxy A9 to be priced around $500 in China

Samsung recently outed the 6-inch Galaxy A9, its top-end Galaxy 'A' series smartphone. At the time of announcement Samsung did not reveal the pricing or the release date of the Galaxy A9. However, a new leak reveals the pricing of the smartphone, suggesting that the Galaxy A9 will cost CNY 3199 in China which is roughly $494 and Rs. 33,000 at today's exchange rate.
