How's the battery life on this phone for those actually using it?

    Snowman, 23 Jan 2018a8 or lg g6? You can't compare flagship to a mid-ranger. G6 has more interesting features than the a8 2018.
    But, as always, it depends on others which they will pick that suits them the most in daily use.

      Snowman, 23 Jan 2018a8 or lg g6? LG G6 is a flagship smartphone, the a8 is nowhere even close to it.

They'd just want to get updates from the manufacturer itself. For those people, lineage OS doesn't mean squat.

                    This mobile phone is costly but it is amazing. It has only one rear camera (at the back), its picture is quite good even i do a picture in low light place ( auto mode works great). It battery drains slow , so no need to take powerbank with :). For heavy use its battery cannot last full day but its charging time is fast ( fully charge maybe one hour). The sound quality & signal strengh is very good . This device has many nice functions ( up to date). It is far better than SG A9 pro 2017 or A8, especially its camera...

Honestly I'd get the A8 just for the better support (S7 will reach EOL soon), better design, USB type C and the significantly better battery life.

My A5 2017 has a few features which some flagships still lack. But I don't think if the 2017 A phones were priced this high when they released.

                                        The A8 is undeniably a great phone, but at this price, it's hard to recommend it. After a few months, prices should come down, making it a more attractive option.
