Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Pro Reviews

The Galaxy A8 is a phone selling at the same price as the OnePlus 5T, but it does not quite feel as well executed and it definitely feels overpriced. While it technically has an “Infinity Display”, you can definitely see the bezels on the side and chins, and it does not quite have the futuristic, classy look of the S8. And while it has a cool dual front camera, the main camera is actually not great, especially at night, and it does not support 4K video recording. And then there is the performance: definitely improved in the daily grind, but technically you only get a mid-range chip, and heavy use will put its weight on the phone. And having just 32GB of storage when others ship with double the amount at a lower price is just shameful. Yes, Samsung does have the Samsung Experience interface that has a lot of useful functions and visual polish, and the Super AMOLED screen on this phone has those coveted vivid colors, but in this fiercely competitive market, we are left thinking there are some better options lurking out there.
