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.

    Netskii, 24 May 2018i love the A8 ive had for a week now i actually had the S7 ... morePlayed around with the A8 in the samsung store, it's really nice and compact. Will deffo replace my a5 2017 with this. Saw it on Amazon for 350 so will wait and hopefully it will drop even less. Shame about the camera, hope its better then the a5

      i love the A8 ive had for a week now i actually had the S7 before the A8 and i have to say the A8 is an amazing phone has nice power good speeds, camera is fine but its a phone dont expect an insane camera idiots. it does the job perfectly fine. the layout is clean on it. i love the size and both glass sides. my only concern about this phone is it will break easily if dropped so buy a case and stop complaining. overall this phone is a nice modern phone for its time

        Anonymous, 09 May 2018no this is not for me, it is to big it is huge it is like a ovel.If this is too big for you, I'm afraid there are very few phones out there that aren't.

              I would have jumped on the Plus version of this phone in a heartbeat. North American markets need to have LTE band compatibility with more of these mid-ranger variants.
              Samsung and other Chinese manufactures need to push these more.
              US carriers need to stop being so close minded and selfish.
              Either carrying flagships or entry level phones just does not cut it.

                  This is a good phone. There is always a better phone on market, don't worry about that. You can buy S9+ but there is iPhone X and vice versa. Buy A8 and you wont regret this. And what about android oreo? This uptate lacks about new features. Only minor things not worth to waiting even.

                    can anyone please confirm if the 2nd SIM in A8 (2018) supports 3G as well or it supports only 2G network. I could not find this information anywhere and in Australia there is no 2G support, so I got to have 2nd SIM also 3G supported at least.

                        Not at all, it's rather snappy and will be good enough.

                          My A8 2018 has one problem. I wish they could update the back camera issues. I have a problem on shooting landscape photos. It does not focus much on close objects. But, FFC is one of the best, really impressive performance (Bloatware is not my type), and nice extras. Hopes for Samsung to repair a software update on my Back camera...

                              Front camera is ok, back camera is really bad. It's also full of Samsung bloatware as always. Google Pixel is almost the same price and camera is much better

                                    Donut, 26 Jan 2018LOL seriously man? S7 and S8 is better we all know that but... moreI bought this phone for 350 eur. It's a great phone but not worth more than what I paid for it. The GPU is weak, actually Adreno 508 from S630 has better performance than GPU from galaxy A8. Definitely, for 400 eur you can buy better phones than this one.
