Get to know the top 14 Galaxy A8 news

Before focusing on its premium line, Samsung decided to start the year with the new Galaxy A8, a great device for those looking for something more intermediate. The handset was recently launched in the United States and is also about to arrive in Brazil, so it is worth knowing what it has to offer if you are considering switching smartphones. To know all the features and news of the Galaxy A8, just check our list below.

1. Design

The design of the Galaxy A8 obviously does not follow the same line of premium Samsung devices, but it is still quite interesting and discreet. At the front, the screen takes up most of the device and the edges are minimal but not curved.

Already on the back is a glass panel that ensures a sleeker look, but wireless charging is not supported. Other than that, you can notice the camera and the fingerprint sensor.

2. Display

The handset features a 5.7 inch Super AMOLED display and a resolution of 1080 x 2220 pixels, which is slightly better than what is usually offered by intermediate smartphones.

As mentioned, it occupies a good portion of the front of the device and turns out to be perfect for watching videos and movies without distractions.

3. Camera

When it comes to the cameras of the Galaxy A8, it can be said that Samsung has tried something quite interesting and different from what we have been seeing in recent months. At the rear we have a great 16 megapixel camera, HDR, LED flash and f / 1.7 aperture.

The interesting thing is the front, which has a dual camera: a 16 megapixel and an 8 megapixel. Basically, this makes it the perfect selfie device in a whole new way. Other than that, it is worth mentioning that all cameras are capable of recording videos in Full HD.

4. Processor

As has happened before, Samasung decided to use its own chip for the Galaxy A8. This time it has the Exynos 7885 Octa-Core and still has 4 GB of RAM to ensure the smartphone is fast in any situation, especially for those who like to do multiple tasks at once.

5. Battery

The battery of the Galaxy A8 is exactly the same as the Galaxy S8, ie it has a capacity of 3, 000 mAh. Since the A8 is far less demanding in its features, you'll get a much better battery life than S8 users, so that's a good thing.

6. Operating System

Considering that there is still some time left for certain handsets to get the latest version of Android, the Galaxy A8 will only come with the factory-installed Nougat version. Still, it is powerful enough to support Android Oreo as soon as Google starts releasing it for devices from other companies.

7. Colors

Samsung decided to make the Galaxy A8 available in various colors right away. For those who want the device, you can choose between black, blue, gray and gold versions.

8. Resistance

Fortunately, Samasung has taken great care in the durability of the Galaxy A8. The device has a well resists glass in the back and front, can withstand lighter falls from day to day.

Other than that, it has resistance to dust and water damage and can be submerged for up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1.5 m.

9. Security

The Galaxy A8 has the same security measures as Samsung's latest handsets, namely fingerprint sensor, password lock and face recognition. All three methods work very well, but facial recognition turns out to be less secure and easier to circumvent.

10. Earphone

Although so many other smartphone models no longer have headphone jacks, the Galaxy A8 still supports this option. Considering that the handset is aimed at the mid-market, Samsung would hardly remove the common headphone jack.

11. Storage

In terms of storage, the Galaxy A8 has two internal space options: 32 GB and 64 GB. The options are good enough by themselves, but you can still expand this space with 256 GB microSD cards if you need to.

12. Release

While many were expecting news about the Galaxy S9, the Galaxy A8 turned out to be Samsung's top priority and was announced in December 2017. Fortunately, it didn't take long to launch either, and it eventually arrived in several countries (especially Asia) as early as. January of this year.

13. Price

The price of the Galaxy A8 in western countries is still uncertain, but it is estimated to be no more than $ 499 in the United States (about $ 1, 500 at current price). Of course, in these cases you can't always predict the Brazilian price because of taxes, so the way is to wait for Samgung to announce the official cost in the coming weeks.

14. Availability

As always with Samsung devices, the Galaxy A8 will not take long to reach Brazil. The company is preparing an official presentation of the smartphone in our country, which should occur in early February this year. It is expected to be available for sale shortly thereafter, both on Samsung's website and in stores across the country.
