With the Galaxy A8 (2018), Samsung has made a well-equipped mid-range smartphone that has a lot of things going for it. The design looks and feels premium while being IP68 rated. The Super AMOLED Infinity-Display is visually impressive, being well tuned, bright while also having a high resolution.

Wait what?! So the Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) and A8+ (2018) are here to replace the Galaxy A5 (2017) and A7 (2015)? That sure makes perfect sense.

Can't get enough of our hands-on pictures of the Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ? Neither can we, so this time is a hands-on video for you TechNavers to get a closer look at its beautiful glossy body, camera mode and its IP68 water resistance grade feature.

While all eyes are on the newly-launched Samsung Galaxy S9, the smartphone lineup of the South Korean manufacturer includes a plethora of other models that are at least worth a chance, especially because they seem to bring premium technology at a more affordable price.

Samsung's new Galaxy A8 series of smartphones bring quite a drastic change to the lineup. Not only does it sport dual front cameras now, the Galaxy A8 (2018) gets Samsung's signature Infinity Display too – this was previously available only on the Korean company's flagship smartphones.

Performance doesn't match price; 32 GB of storage; No Android Oreo

it has a very uncomfortable design in my opinion... I only bought it because of the camera...

Got the phone to replace S6 and I like it. Fingerprint scanner works better and in a good position on the back of the phone.
