april, 15 May 2018i bought my a8 four days ago, after using it for two days, ... moreAs a customer point of view yes u'll get new phone probably, with different IMEI, but logically u will get another user handset, as they call it swap, from on user to another, they can put any IMEI to any phone with same model... But yes, u'll get ok working condition phone, they swap after repairing... Its make easy for them to not to maintain old handset data per user to user, which is no use for them... Eventually customer think they got new as replacement... Customer happy, they happy, after all its their budget efficiencies... Which matters... And its very rare dat u get any other problem again... Unless u physically damage ur phone or liquid damage...

i bought my a8 four days ago, after using it for two days, a very thin green line appeared on the screen from top to bottom as if my phone is separated half lengthwise. I returned it to samsung store and they told me that it is subject for replacement, they get the unit only. My question, in this case "replacement" would mean what? to replace the old one with brand new or return to me my celphone without that green line...it is still under warranty...they say they will replace the cp after some technical report, hopefully today.

In india u get unlocked to all provider nd so band... In india no cellphone company sell their handset for any particular provider locked... Unless u urself make some bond with provider as per ur cellular or data plan...

It seems to be expensive in other countries, I bought it just when it was released for US$460 and it included a JBL Clip speaker xD

S . SUDHAKAR, 11 May 2018Another crap one plus 5T that does not have memory card slot.Not a big deal since it's 64 GB. Heck, you can also get the 128GB variant. Lack of microsd slot didn't stop the 5T from becoming a success.

Anonymous, 10 May 2018In Pakistan. A8+ 6 GB ram not available, WHY?Because A8+ 6GB costlier model not selling too well in India so launching cheaper models in other south asian countries to see how it will sell.
Traditionally Samsung has had trouble with sales of A7 and above phones in A series.

I got it for 1550dh in sharjah, UAE. But unfortunately the A8+ version here only has 4GB ram instead of 64.
But overall phone is awesome especially the camera.

To settle the debate; I have used all the phones between C7 Pro, C9 pro, A8+ and A9 PRO.
1) Battery wise A9 PRO is still king. C9 pro C7 Pro and A8+ are in the same ballpark.
2) display wise it's a toss up. C9 pro, A9 Pro and A8+ tie.
3) Audio wise (with headphones) the C9 Pro smacks everyone else left right and centre. It has a dedicated audio DSP and DAC with amp from Cirrus Logic. Difference is audible. A8+ is second here since it can do the DSP work but it doesn't have the Cirrus Logic chip.
4) camera wise. A8+ has bokeh and live focus in front cam, C9 pro has slightly better sensor (1.12 um vs 1.0 um). Rear camera between both devices is 99% the same. Differences are not worth talking about.
Rear camera of A9 Pro is worse in daylight due to poor dynamic range but a bit better in low light due to OIS. A9 PRO front camera is not good at all.
C7 Pro cameras are also 99% same as C9 Pro.
5) A8+ has 3CA support, Bixby and Samsung pay full. C9 Pro has stereo speakers, hi fi DSP and Samsung Pay mini with 2CA support.
6) Exynos 7885 performance is slightly worse than SD653, around the level of SD652.
7) though it's natural to assume A8+ will be supported more, the C7 Pro and C9 Pro sold very well and the last units were manufactured in march/April 2018. So these devices have had a production run of more than one year and that only happens when the product is still fresh in Samsung marketing. Also there is no successor for these products, so it's likely they will get extended support.
OTOH A9 pro was a commercial sales failure forcing Samsung to do price drops to sell off the stock. Right now A8+ is getting cashback schemes in India to make price equal to c9 pro. This itself indicates A8+ is not a great hit either.
Currently Samsung is still running offers on S series, A8 2018 and C7 Pro/C9 pro only. This means Samsung considers all of these premium devices.
8) After seeing the differences are so minor between C9 Pro and A8+ I think its a matter of personal preference. If Bixby and Samsung Pay is more important than stereo speakers and hi fi DAC, go for A8+. ELSE C9 Pro.
9) i am disappointed in Samsung for releasing a product not really better than C9 Pro but I understand A and C series are not directly comparable and A8+ is meant to be an upgrade for users of A7, A8 (2016) and not C series....
10) what everyone should understand is that A series is a stripped down S series while C series is a beefed up J series....So A series tends to classy trendy crowd while C series is for middle class workhorse.....Samsung is releasing products accordingly...
Personally I bought C9 Pro over A8+ because for me audio is more important than Bixby.
