16 June 2018
'A's and 'J's, unite! We have for review the Samsung Galaxy A6 (2018) which takes the A8's camera and rear-mounted fingerprint sensor and fits them in a J5 (2017)-like aluminum body.

                      Anonymous, 18 Jun 2018My eyes care.That was a sarcasm, you know in 2018, 300 (or 250) euros and HD+..
                      Then again, S8, maybe is little older, but that last year flagship have way better resolution than HD+ (if you set) and for similar price. If is a Samsung branding a must have on phone.
                      Even S9 is 400-450 euros only, now.
                      This is a good low end device for 2018, just price is maybe to high (150-180 euros is more apeling).

                        Anonymous, 17 Jun 2018Just wondering what the use of A serious of Samsung since t... moreAlthough I would not recommend this phone to anyone, I know the phones you mention are not priced the same across the world, therefore you can't always expect to get let's say an S8 for the same price as an A8 (2018).
                        In the US this is possible because lots of high end phones are sold through carriers and rebates are still a thing, you can pick mint shape iPhone 7 for 350 USD or a mint shape S8 for around 400.
                        No way I'd recommend an S7 these days. Most of these phones have a tired battery (unless you purchase a new one, which won't be that cheap after all) and are nearing the end of the road for updates. I'd gladky pick an A5 or A7 from last year or maybe a regular A8 though, those enjoy great SW support from Samsung and are not that expensive anymore. Of course there are lots of value priced options from other brands that are worth looking for

                            Is not that bad phone, design is also ok, here is 240 euros, but i agree, for less there are better phones (ex. Note 5 al, 5 Plus, Mate 10 lite etc), but than again this is SAMSUNG, and have that famous Super Amoled screen, who cares it's only 720p +, right?

                                5.6-inch but only 720p, that is not ok!

                                  To be honest, I'll buy the Mate 10 Lite (aka Nova 2i) for it's better SoC, display resolution, quad cameras, and more sensible fingerprint scanner.

                                    Only Sammy Fanboys will like to upgrade this product even if it's powered by a 2 year old Exynos 7870.

                                      Anonymous, 17 Jun 2018This price for these spec is jokeIt would be great if it were, sadly, lots of people will buy it blindly just because if its brand,.. and then who knows now many companies will buy it for their staff because of contracts.... sure there's a more overpriced brand than apple, selling to a lot more people worldwide.
