The shape has gone back to A series 2016's regular rectangle with rounded corners

      Cassy O, 16 Dec 2017Some people said that the side bezels of this phone is ugly... moreWell said 100% agree.

        Samsung phones are always beautiful on front, ugly looks from the back
        This trend will likely to continue in 2018!

        S9 will also be the same thing, until they can put biometric fps and that would only happenned with special edition 10th anniversary Galaxy series: SX (read: S-ten)

          Some people said that the side bezels of this phone is ugly and some people hate the curved edge screen.
          between people never satisfied or Samsung always wrong in their eyes. Btw i like the gold one.

            AnonD-441601, 16 Dec 2017Well thats only cosmetic changes. Nothing new. And thes... moreCosmetic, lol. What the hell did you expect? Other than display, camera, memory and processor upgrades? Obviously Samsung saves the best for their flagship Galaxy S phones.
            I expect A8 priced at 400 eur and A8+ priced at 500 eur.
            A8 at that price will be fantastic offer.

                If those 2 x 2,2GHz cores are A73 or A75, it will definetly be way more interesting than previous A's, especially if this is coupled with UFS 2.1 storage and LPDDR4 RAM.

                      Damn it looks ugly with those thick side bezels, but still an upgrade from last year's model. I was waiting for this model, but damn I just can't get over how ugly it looks with those side bezels. It looks like google pixel xl, especially the regular A8. They would have hit jack pot if they made it look like Huawei mate 10, THAT'S IT! Square with no infinity display would have been enough. So I changed my mind and just bought Samsung galaxy S7 edge. Go big or go home.

                                      As an S8 owner I can only say this phone looks weird when compared to my S8. Also I don't get why would samsung make midrange phone looking so similar to S8 and S9.

                                      S9 is going to be a beast, but still, I don't feel bad with S8... I plan to wait till 2019 or even 2020 before buying my next phone. I can only imagine what Samsung will come up with by then
