Talking about the price, interested customers will be able to buy Samsung Galaxy A8+ (2018) from January 20 for Rs 32,990. It will be available exclusively on e-commerce site Amazon.in. With many features and aggressive pricing, this Samsung smartphone will give a strong challenge to OnePlus 5T, Nokia 8 and the recently launched Honor View 10. During the launch event, we spent some time with the Galaxy A8+ (2018). How did we like this handset at first glance? Let us tell you.
In the beginning, we will tell you about the design of Samsung Galaxy A8+ (2018). This phone will remind you of Galaxy S8 and Galaxy Note 8. The reason is curved glass, glass back panel and infinity display. The thickness of this device is 8.3 millimeters. The width of the handset is 75.7 millimeters and the length is 159.9 millimeters. The body of the phone is very compact. Despite having a 6-inch display, there is no problem in holding the phone in hands. Its weight is 191 grams, which is heavier than Galaxy S8 Plus.
Samsung Galaxy A8+ has a 6.0-inch SuperAMOLED full-HD display. It has a resolution of 1080×2220 pixels and an aspect ratio of 18.5:9. Like Samsung’s current flagship devices, the screen of this phone is also vibrant and bright enough. Viewing angles are decent. The level of color reproduction is also accurate.
The display has taken up most of the space on the front panel. For this reason, you will get on-screen buttons instead of physical or capacitive buttons. There is a dual selfie camera setup above the screen. For the first time, two cameras have been provided on the front in a Samsung phone. One sensor is 16 megapixels and the other is 8 megapixels. We used the phone’s dual selfie camera for some time during the event, especially the Live Focus feature. It is similar to portrait mode, but the performance is not that great. The face recognition technology also worked well. It recognizes different faces even in low light. The rear camera is 16 megapixels. This sensor has F / 1.7 aperture. This means that you can expect better pictures in low light. Due to limited time, we could not test the rear camera much. We will tell you about it in detail in the review.
The back of the device is made of glass. The phone has a good grip due to the curved design. However, fingerprints are easily visible on it. Apart from this, not much can be said about the strength of the glass back panel. The fingerprint sensor has been placed below the rear camera.
The loudspeaker and power button are on the right side of the Galaxy A8+ (2018). The volume buttons are on the left side. A tray for a nano SIM is also present here. The USB Type-C port, microphone and 3.5mm headphone jack are placed at the bottom. The secondary microphone is on the top. There are slots for the second SIM card and microSD card here.
The new octa-core Samsung Exynos 7885 processor has been used in Galaxy A8+ (2018). The maximum clock speed is 2.2 GHz. The Exynos 7885 processor is Samsung’s latest midrange chipset. We will take a decision on its performance during the review. The smartphone comes with 6 GB RAM. The inbuilt storage is 64 GB and if needed, it is possible to use a microSD card up to 256 GB.
Surprisingly, Samsung has used Android 7.1.1 Nougat and there is no official information available about Android Oreo update. Samsung Experience 8.5 user interface has been used on top of Android instead of the company’s TouchWiz UI. The battery of Samsung Galaxy A8 + (2018) is 3500 mAh.
We will soon come up with a detailed review of the Samsung Galaxy A8+ (2018). It will discuss the performance, battery life, camera quality, display and other aspects of the handset in detail.
