I am not asking if you can unlock the phone with a voice command, i am asking if you can WAKE the phone when the screen is turned off.
    Ok google would only work if you first turn on the screen, and then say ok google to unlock it.

        Greetings all, i am looking to buy the Galaxy A8 but i have a question for anyone who has a Galaxy A series phone.

        Is it possible to wake your phone via the "hi galaxy" voice command using S voice when the screen is completely turned off? Or do i have to approach the phone and turn on the screen before it will start listening for the voice command?

        Most Motorola phones from 2013 onward, "fruit" phones, and my current HTC U11 all have dedicated low power consumption procesor cores which are used to always have a mic listen for a certain voice command even when the screen is off, so that you can wake your phone without having to turn the screen on first.

        However, some lower cost phones can only detect voice commands such as "ok google" when the screen is on, it works even from lock screen but you still have to manually turn the screen on for the phone to start listening. On other phones it works only if the phone is charging.

        I have searched for the answer to this question a lot online and i can't find the answer, can any Galaxy A8 or other recent A series owners please test this for me?

            AnonD-750099, 06 Apr 2018May I know where did you get the phone for SGD 490? I bought it from one of the sellers in Shopee SG. You can download the app from Google Play/App Store. There was a tech sale with 50 dollars promo code when I made my purchase and I used my cashback credit card (5% rebate for online spend), hence the low price.

                          no selfie flash sucks at a phone of that level. so no selfies with friends in the club. disappointing

I personally would not do so because the difference is not as big, I mean A8 is a pretty good phone and probably the first mid range phone from Samsung actually worth it because its predecessors were so underpowered.
