Is the latest addition to the Galaxy A series worth your money? We find out, in this Samsung Galaxy A8 review!...
In recent years Samsung has been rethinking its priorities. Attractive design used to play second fiddle to convenience and sheer number of features, but now the upper end of the range requires metal build.
I really am enjoying this phone. The camera has to be my favorite part of the phone, it's crystal clear. The phone is thin a weightless when I hold it. The battery life is good too
The Samsung Galaxy A8s is the first smartphone from Samsung to come with display-O screen, which houses the front facing camera sensor. It is also the first of all Sammy smartphone to be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 710, and the first to run on Google Android 9.0 Pie.
The A8 is nearly everything we loved about the Galaxy A8, just turned down a notch or two. It's shaping up to be a fantastic phone, with nine tenths of the performance and design of that phenomenal flagship. It might have lost the curved display, but in keeping the 18:9 aspect ratio and skinny bezels, it's still every bit as desirable as the mid-range competition. Maybe even more so, if you can't get enough of snapping selfies. Camera quality and battery life are still up for debate right now, but considering the hardware is so similar to its bigger brother, we're betting the Galaxy A8 puts in an impressive performance. We'll find out when we give it a full review. Whether it can undercut the OnePlus 5T and Honor View 10 will determine whether the A8 is a true bargain or not. Hopefully Samsung gets the price right when it goes on sale in the UK in the next couple of months.
Oh yeah, the durian has dropped. We now know all we need to know about Samsung ’s Galaxy A8 and A8+ smartphones. The final piece of the puzzle has been found so you know what that means: Judgement time.
It’s at the upper end of pricing for a mid-ranger, and that makes phones like the OnePlus 5T closer competitors than Samsung might like, but it still vastly undercuts most flagships while out-performing most mid-range phones.
+ Great Super AMOLED screen, + Dual-lens front camera, + Premium, water-resistant design
- Middling power, - Average battery, - Doesn't run latest software
The Samsung Galaxy A8 is a slight step down from the Galaxy S9 - or even the Galaxy S8 - in just about every way, but it still delivers many of the core features offered by the flagships. You can get more for your money elsewhere, but if you're set on Samsung there's little to complain about here.
Super-vivid OLED screen, Quality build, Excellent water resistance
Low light photos could be better, No 4K video recording, You’ll find better value elsewhere
