Moved to a8 from S7 last week, am very happy with the phone Haven't found all I can or cannot do with it.
Charger? works ok with all my phone chargers, A little annoying though is the cable plug and socket size is a lot larger so I will have to go and buy another couple charging cables.
I would like to know what others think of the A8 compared to the S9

So I got the Oreo update (UAE version), phone got stuck in bootloop during update, sorted it out with Odin. So far so good, some new features too (Dolby Atmos, etc.) no impact on battery life, no bugs encountered so far either, better performance, almost 10k performance score boost in Antutu.

Anonymous, 29 Jun 2018What are the cons of this model?! I have been with samsung ... moreWell, the two biggest things i see are: Samsung love to gimp the GPU on midrangers. Could have easily used a G71 MP8 instead of the MP2 (i.e 8 unit instead of 2).
Also major OS upgrades will be fewer. Take the recent S7 as example. released on Marshmallow, updated to Nougat and just now Oreo. This A8, released on Nougat, will get Oreo for sure, but after that, I doubt it will see any major OS upgrade except maybe maintenance/security updates.

Will this get oreo update or not? Might consider a6+ if it not getting oreo update. Or is there any benefit to get this over a6+?

Since Oreo update for A8 is almost sure, we bought one for wifey. We were also considering Nokia 7+ but went for the more expensive A8 since we had some good exp on Samsung's durability (software update suck tho). Was able to use it for a week and some of important things I found out in comparison to my old A5(6):
1. Front camera of the my A5(6) when taking pictures was much better due to its OIS (A8 does not have OIS). If you take picture on a stand/ tripod or anything stable, then the picture of the A8 gets way better than the A5.
2. Battery of the A8 is superb. Lasted for about 2 days at regular use - no heavy gaming (using 1 sim and a memory card)
3. Watching youtube feels awkward to me, maybe the screen size or the full view
4. The form and material has a premium feel to it
I would have tested its IP68 rating but better judgement took over me and decided to just leave it alone.
