M E R O, 10 Mar 2019Thanks for your reply... But I saw some comments of peoples... moreOh well, I really do not understand much about your definition of durability and easy to be fragile.
In my opinion, all phones in any price range and any brands are surely surely fragile and like battery, nothing last forever.
If you mean the material of phone, The Pocophone F1 is made of plastic back indeed which is more durable than the glass material. Never mention the display because all display is made of glass :) which can be broken when dropping hardly.
Surely, Galaxy A8 wins over Pocophone F1, but the chipset (SD845) and the face scanner (InfraRed face scanner). Not mention to the display size because not everyone love big screen or smaller screen. If I do not want to use Samsung anymore, no need NFC and choose Xiaomi in that price range, I will buy Pocophone F1 instead of Redmi Note 7.

As I can see, this phone has USB-type C and that type of connection is , I have to admit, new for me. My computer has 6 USB ports, but all of them are old MICRO USB-2.0, my older phone also has micro usb port. I'd like to know if I buy this phone what do I have to do , or buy for succesfully transfer data from my new phone to computer and to other , older phone? Do I have to buy some adapter, cable or something else? Thnks for answer.

Personally I Like the Vision of Samsung, A Company With Own Personality And Excellent Sucess Records in Many Other Fields Not Only Smart Phones. Samsung is the Eldest One in the Game of Manifacturing Smart Phones. Other Comapnies Are Graping Customers With High Specs and Low Prices to Get a Good Position Very Quickly Among Other Companies. If I Buy Honor or Xiaomi, I Buy High Specs For Low Price But I Don't Trust How They Did It (Know That Chinese Companies Aren't Stupid, It's Just Trade). High and Quality Means High Price So There Always Will Be a Con That You Will Not Like, A Problem You Will Surely Face In the Future In Honor or Xiaomi. For Me, A Samsung Mid-range Handset Is Better Than a High Specs Honor or Xiaomi.

You Are Totally Right, I Have Seen Too Much Comments About Wi-Fi Issues In Many Other Phone Sections, the Majority Accuses Their Innocent Handsets (Phones). They Just Give a Negative Trend for The Phone That They Just Purchased Without Making Sure of the Real Reason of the Issue.

You may not do this if you keep your files in Google drive or independent cloud.
About the phone, I used to be a Samsung hater from the keypad phone era. I am not Samsung hater (thou I am not a lover too) because Samsung Experience User Interface (now become OneUI).
Galaxy A8 2018 has all of the good box ticked, not more than good and also not less than good. When first launching, it is surely overpriced. Now, the price is equal with its quality.
Most may has a battery problem but...hey, do not forget that all batteries is nothing last forever. It is valid for any brands.
I do not know about Honor, I am still Xiaomi lover. Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 is good. It is compared with Samsung Galaxy M20 for most cases. I do not think that A8 2018 can be compared with this Redmi Note 7, but if I am forced to compare, I will compare this A8 2018 with Pocophone F1 by Xiaomi because they has the same price, more or less.
If you can live without Samsung User Interface and NFC, you are better to choose Pocophone F1.

Memphis, 08 Mar 2019Very poor WiFi perfomanseThis is the first time I hear/read that someone has problem with WIFI performance. Sorry mate, I just think that your WIFI source may have a trouble, not your phone.
In my brain, WIFI performance trouble means a slow connection or difficult to connect or the connection is unstable. Make sure it is not mobile data problem, is it? As it depends on your network/operator.

It's so annoying for me to gambling everytime i have to update my phone or not. Are the camera quality became much good or worse. I know, it is not written about the camera thing on security update and if it just happen with my device only.. and with my feb security update, my camera became more worse..
I have proven with the picture i took before and after the update with the same condition and place.
I think it's only happen with my device..
