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.

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.

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.

In 2015, Samsung introduced the Galaxy A8. A year later, it released its successor called the Galaxy A8 (2016). The company, however, skipped 2017 and decided to release the 2018 model instead. To greet the New Year, here's our review of the Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) .

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

Design; Excellent Super AMOLED display; Front camera; IP68 certification; Battery life

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

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.

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.

premium design; real Dual-SIM functionality; accurate GPS; water and dust proof; bright; well-tuned Super AMOLED display; good camera; fast charging

unable to uninstall pre-installed apps; PWM display flickering; internal storage not particularly fast; throttling under load

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.
