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.

      What is minimum brightness? Please why have you stopped measuring that, it's important information guys. I use my phone a lot at night, please bring it back!

        I am very excited about this phone but i don't wont to spend not even nearly 500 euros on it. I will wait for a price to drop about 400-420 and then i will get it, even if it takes a year. Unless something better shows up in that time, ofc.

                  Anonymous, 12 Jan 2018Still will have better camera and will perform much betterMaybe u should be learning the difference between a flagship and a midranger... S7 edge outbeats a8 in everything .. Its called as a flagship for some reason.. That exynos is not "A" flagship chipset

                    That A8 has MP4 instead of MP2 since Multicore performance is higher than Dual one.....

                          It should have Mali-G71 MP4 at least to be competetive. And OIS+automatic HDR (possible to enable from a viewfinder).

                            7885 is not an improvement over the 7880, the older model has 40% faster GPU! 40%! Aside from bigger display, A8 2018 is a complete disaster of a phone for a ridiculously high price. This thing has no advantage over the S7 edge whatsoever.

                              Midrange phone for the price of a flagship.

                                this phone is drama: slow chip (old one with new name-look at graphic results), low quality quality of photos in night, big bezels (top,bottom) on a level of newest sony ....

If you only think bigger MP means better camera then the marketing works really well. The A8(+) doesn't even have OIS which kinda disappointing.
