Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) review

11 January 2018
Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) is not a successor to a particular A-series phone. It’s more of a trimmed Galaxy S8 version for the masses with matching design, screen, and the current number 8. Or so Samsung would have us believe.

              100% worth to try ,

                I have had an audio problem with mine which means you get intermitten cut outs for a split second enough to spoil a film or music from youtube. Also I get plagued with software updates. Fair enough they are offered in the middle of the night; but accidently trigger one and cancelling via a reboot isn't that easy. Rebooti gng via power off/ volume down can be unresponsive and you don't have the option of removing the battery. All in all too many niggly problems.

                  Shashi, 18 Jun 2018Which 1 is better to buy Samsung a8 or a8+Stay away from both. 2018 models are crap. App power monitor shuts down all important apps after a period of inactivity.

                    I purchased his phone few days ago. Since then I am having a problem with messages on my whatsapp & Gmail notification. If the phone has been inactive for a period of time it shuts down all the apps. No matter what you do it doesn't work. You have wake the phone even then you don't see the emails or messages. Only when you open the app they update. I understand it is a problem with all 2018 models where Samsung has instaleed a new app power monitor. I will stay away from 2018 models until this is fixed. Samsung does not accept thet there an issue.
