Can the video stabilization be disabled? I don't like how blurry it looks, in fact It looks worse than my A5(2016) that has OIS.
Also, can the constant focus hunting somehow be stopped? In many test videos you can see the focus jumping as the scene changes even a little bit, it's quite irritating.

I have using a8 for a month now. It's a very good phone. Good battery life. Have a great selfie camera. But i think.. the rear camera are worst at low light. But ok for outdoor photoshot.
Updated oreo 2 weeks ago and nothing goes wrong.. the battery life still hold up for a day.
The speaker is no longer a problem. Smooth. Not a single hiccup.
I like this phone so much. Because i don't really like the edge screen so a8 is the best option for me.

Only a few people here complain about audio cut out. On the Samsung US forum some people say it don't affect US version:

I don't understand from the chart it's exactly the same version and it seems like a software issue cause happen at the same time lapse of the sound in the video:

At the moment, both... moreXiaomi Mi 8 SE has a more powerful processor, dual rear cams, larger display
While Galaxy A8 has expandable storage, dual selfie cams, IP68 waterproofing.
In battery department A8 might have an edge over Mi 8 Se due to its smaller display. Now its totally upto you that which features you prefer more.

So it is definitely not true about the feature being taken away by Samsung?

I don't like Samsung's button order where the back button is far right so I customised it so that I now have back button far left like in all other android devices.

Nour, 20 Aug 2018Nova 3i or Samsung A8 ?i have spent weeks on the same question . 3i looks and feels super but reading reviews in the brand there is just a feeling that there may be a few things that give the A8 the edge .
I ride bikes and a I.P rated phone would help but a ziplock bad works too..... ill keep the old A5 16 going for a while longer

Is it true that with the Oreo 8.0 update on the A8 & A8+ Samsung has removed the feature that allows you to edit or customise the on-screen nav buttons underneath the main home screen?
