Finally, the Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) and Galaxy A8+ (2018) are released in Malaysia for a price tag of RM1799 and RM2499 respectively. We got ourselves the plus variant and explored if there's actually any difference between the two.

Verdict: The Galaxy A8+ (2018) is Samsung's answer to the slew of 'flagship killers' in the market. It shines where it matters the most for casual smartphone users in India - aesthetics, display, photography and battery.

Samsung Galaxy A8+ (2018) is officially the company's first phone for 2018 with flagship-like specifications. Samsung usually starts the year with the Galaxy A series launched, and around Feb-March, the new S series flagship is revealed.

Samsung Mobile India has kick-started 2018 with the launch of the Galaxy A8+ in India. The Samsung Galaxy A8+ aims to compete with the likes of OnePlus 5T, LG G6, Honor 8 Pro and others.

Samsung is off to a good start with the Galaxy A8 (2018), but for those who want a beefier version of the device, the company has an answer in the form of the Galaxy A8+ (2018). It has a larger display, more storage and RAM, and bigger battery. Check out our review below.

* Premium build; * Nice display; * Good performance; * Good cameras; * Long battery life; * Water and dust-resistance

Come on what are talking about. He says it is a mid-range phone however he compares it whit a one plus and LG g6. The contras are pure superficial things. And by the way I bougth this (feb′18 early) for 300 USD here in Chile I have A8+ only for more screen size, and it works very well.

Excelent screen; Well equiped; Superab battery duration; Fast Charging

Average main camera; in low light; Glass in the back (fingerprints magnet; Little bit short GPU

Super rpido y hermoso, la pantalla es lo mejor!

When OnePlus says its phones are flagship killers, we obviously compare them to the likes of Galaxy S8. But for Samsung, that might be a double-edged sword. Many would agree that the Galaxy S8 is a better "flagship", but it's tough to deny the value proposition a OnePlus 5T has to offer.

Excellent; premium design; Bright; crisp display

Camera needs improvement; Android 7.1.1 out of the box

6" Infinity Display The Samsung Galaxy A8+ (2018) has an expansive 6" Super AMOLED Infinity Display. This fills more of the front of the phone, giving a futuristic look that we have seen emerging on recent flagship phones.

The Samsung Galaxy A8+ looks good, has good battery life and is well built, but does not have a good camera or a stellar performance

Excellent build quality; IP68 certified; Good battery life

Sub-par camera quality; Average performer
