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.

          Im using A8 right now...previously and still using s5.what i can say a8 great display.great battery life.lightweight.fm radio and dual sim and expanded storage are there.BUT camera quality is i will say 20% less than s5.s5 has faster focus.better dynamic range and better night photography also has sensor in 16:9 ratio whereasA8 has a native sensor of 4:3 which means u cant get 16 mp pics in landscape mode.but as a whole the A8 has a better value for money ratio i think.so i think im ditching my s5 in coming days.only thing i will regret is the photography part of s5.but the A8 does a decent job also in this field.

              Will it get software updates?
              Will you download the software updates?
              Will you worry the update is worse than previous version?

                  I wrote in the comment section some weeks back about having being without y A8 for 5 weeks now cos of a broken screen the Samsung office here in my city has been unable or unwilling to fix. They keep telling me screen for the A8 are not available, even when I offered to get a screen online, the Samsung technician said he wasn't going to fix it. I've only used the phone for 3 weeks before the screen shattered and I must say it's a gorgeous phone and I miss it. Anyone with similar issue should please email me on authorstanjenkins@gmail.com. To think I switched to the A8 from the Sony Xperia z2, which I enjoyed for a year.
