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.

    S8 mini?

    Dimensional size is too big for me.
    Still have to wait again.

      My Advice to everyone who interested with this phone is to just wait a few months. The price will be significantly reduced so it will be more worth the price. Of course you can always buy samsung previous flagship with little to no guarantee left. Dont buy at the very beginning!

        Got scared by the second selfie picture!!!kidding

          500 Euros is too much for this when the U11 Life and Moto X4 almost did the same things for much cheaper at launch. Sure they didn't have the OLED, but they had the other features. Sure the AnTuTu score is for this matches the outgoing SD 650 series, but both the U11 Life and Moto X4 on the SD 630 compare well and had better GB 4 scores with less RAM. Adreno 510 is the superior GPU. I think it is a good device, but too much money at 500 Euros. 400 Euros, I could see.

              Pixel density is same of 5" FHD.
              So the 18,5:9 is useless.
              Better make a 5" FHD 16:9 anyway.

                Very solid offering. Nothing new but mid rangers aren't the innovators anyway. The price is steep, however, in a few months it should become more viable. Getting this for my mom.

                  This phone would've been truly mesmerising had it been endowed with more technological trappings.

                    Huge dissapointment. Nokia 6 or redmi 5 offers way more for the money/performance. They only lack water dust proof.

                        It is absurd to pay 500 eur for this device. I have no idea what is target audience - you can get S8 at the same price actually and it will drop more as S9 will be released.

                          First sentence: "Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) is not a successor to a particular A-series phone."

                          I thought it is the successor to A5 2017, with A8+ being the next A7.

                            The only thing that might stop people from buying A8 or its bigger brother is because of the price. Other than that, these two are very good devices. :) Snapdragon 660 could have been a good choice but that's okay.
