Samsung Galaxy A8 review: A-game

26 August, 2015
You don't need to be the best if you can be the crowd favorite. The Samsung Galaxy A8 is Samsung's thinnest smartphone yet and is certainly learning from the Note5 in some respects, but while it can't beat it on features it’s likely to rival it on popularity.

Kindly educate me if Samsung A8 has 'Bulk messaging' feature. I mean sending a message to about 100 people at a time. Thanks.

      Please suggest which phone should i buy..?
      A8 or a5 2016..
      Eventhough i feel a5 is overpriced but because of its design we find it attractive. And isn't 5.7" sreen to large to handle..please give unbiased suggestions...

                                I bought this phablet, Galaxy A8 Duos some 10 days ago after selling my HTC Desire 820, ( a superb phone I had for 8 months). The Galaxy A8 Duos, feels solid and very well built, is very fast, WIFI and BT very good, beautiful to look at and does a good job in every department. The battery will last a day and a half's use with 3/4G on. The screen is actually very good, sound is also good, the 16 MP camera is great, works very well, all and all this phone is a real winner. I will keep posting as time goes by but so far so good, I am very happy to have chosen this phone to replace my previous set.

                                        The review here at GSMArena says the backside of the A8 is plastic. I have an A8 Duos gold. It's all metal. Does this mean that some models have plastic back covers?
