Anonymous, 27 Jan 2021Does it give any new features, how is the performance!I got it new as a "free phone": the bonus grocery gift card amount was more than the tab amount so it did not cost me anything more than my old phone as long as I stayed with the provider for 2 years. Now 26 months later it is still working well. Unless i use it heavily i only have to charge it at night. I use a standard 1A 5v charger at night as i think it could be better for the battery than a fast charge. If i am in a rush I will use the fast 1.5v 7.5v charger that came with the phone. I reccomend this phone.

Kaniki, 07 Jan 2021Lie!!!!!!😳yep, but I have managed to find a rom that you can flash to get android 10 one ui 2.0 on the samsung. It works just fine if I use it as a second phone (the rom is basically an s9 rom modified to work with the a8 2018 tho so probably expect some issues occuring)
Just remember that for those you wanna do it, Remember that you are voiding your warranty and none is responsible for any damages

It looks like Samsung deliberately keeps low photo quality for their midranges, I wouldn't go with those anymore. Got S9 to replace A8 last year for $350 and happy with its camera. (While not happy about short battery life and damn glass back.)

Anonymous, 25 Dec 2020Wait does the Pie update make the A8 slower? That's why I ask for Alex's answer why he said ...freezing phone occasionally in the apps. Why?
Mine is still with Oreo.

But, i never using stock camera again since i've got gcam installed on my phone, not superb but better.
i'm thinking an upgrade to A71.
