Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Summary
The new Samsung Galaxy A8+ (2018) has a basic design and a huge screen, but it lacks the Galaxy S8 or Galaxy Note 8's level of elegance. Despite the mid-range chipset, the device has 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. Dual front cameras and NFC with Samsung Pay are highlighted. However, both the front and back cameras produce very subpar photos. Samsung will have a difficult time persuading customers to pick this phone over the alternatives that are currently available at the same price.
