> "There's more to a phone than just RAM. Or a specs list"

Maybe that's why my _main_ complaints about Samsung flagships are their usability and convenience? :)

    The right question is:
    "Why should I need more than 4GB of RAM to be so desperately hating phones that don't have as much RAM?"
    There's more to a phone than just RAM. Or a specs list

        If you say Fort of the night then you need to check what need means

          - fingerprint reader is too close to camera (or vice versa) which is, again, uncomfortable;
          - "iris scanner" is a gimmick but costs money;
          - 4 Gb of RAM is too low for the price;
          - high resolution screen (if considered necessary because of PenTile) needs more battery capacity;
          - however, first two clauses are enough to consider it a bad smartphone :)

                    Can the update OS make Galaxy A8+/A8 2018 slow in performance? Is it better to stick with the original factory OS (i.e. Nougat or Oreo recently) ?
