Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Summary

The Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) is a solid mid-range smartphone that offers a mix of premium and standard features. Released in January 2018, it sports a 5.6-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 x 2220 pixels, providing vivid and sharp visuals. Powered by the Exynos 7885 chipset, it includes 4GB of RAM and comes in two storage options: 32GB and 64GB, expandable up to 256 GB. The phone's build quality is impressive with a combination of Gorilla Glass and an aluminum frame, and it has an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. It features a 16MP rear camera and a dual front camera setup (16MP and 8MP), though the camera performance is noted to be underwhelming. The device runs on Android 7.1.1 and supports fast charging for its 3000 mAh battery. Additional features include NFC with Samsung Pay, a fingerprint sensor, and a variety of sensors for enhanced functionality. Despite its strengths, it faces stiff competition in the mid-range market due to its average camera performance and dated software.
