Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Review

The Galaxy A8 2018 is Samsung's newest upper mid-range phone, but with its similar glass-and-metal design and styling, we'll forgive you if you mistake it for the flagship Galaxy S8.

"This and that is not as good as S8"
it's almost like it was supposed to be a mid-range alternative to S8 and not it's competitor.

I've been using the A8 for a bit over a week now and you know, this phone is excellent. The fingerprint scanner location is good and to my surprise, the camera doesn't catch smudges as easily as the rest of the rear glass. And the scanner is really fast actually, not slow at all 🤔 the phone has had no noticeable lags and the battery life is good as well. I've only had small issues with the speaker that will probably be fixed in a future update 🤷🏻‍♀️

Just got my very first samsung phone and i got the a8 2018, this phone just amazed.

Stop comparing the a8 to the s8. You talk about how it is 'overpriced' but really any other phone with these specs would be at most 100 dollars cheaper and that is without the infinity screen or the dual front cameras or the premium buld quality, so really, its's not overpriced at all. Also, you whine about it not being as good as the s8, a phone that costs 300 dollars more while saying that the a8 is a mid range phone. Why not compare it to another mid range phone? And finally, I came to this video for a review of the phone, not a comparison whit a phone costing 300dollars more.

The A8 is a mid-range phone, so obviously it wouldn't be as good as the S8. I actually think that the A8 is a great looking phone, and as someone who doesn't own a phone, I think that it would make a perfect first phone for anyone (Especially me though, because I REALLY want a phone!!!)

A8 is good enough for me, most important thing for me is connectivity, and this phone delivers, also I’m impressed with the sound quality, with good quality earphones will deliver amazing hi fi sound, maybe this phone is not for the youngsters demands, but for older users who need just the basics (improved with steroids) is enough. Love It.

all I could hear the entire video was, its close to the S8 but its NOT the S8.

[trebarksdale]

Samsung will always be the top dog I don't care what anyone says because they even give there mid range phones flagship level features and goodies. Good video 😊 can't wait to get mine unlocked and take it to cricket

the samsung galaxy "hey hey"

[Abdullah-jmyo]

I boought this phone for about 250$ In middle east and this phone is obviously a budget range for me and its so amazing, the camera, the fingerorint is quick, the front cam is amazing but a bit snappy, games look beautiful pubg is smooth, my battery doesn't drain easily and charges upto 40% in half an hour

[thestingyham]

May I please ask what camera you used to shoot this review? It looks excellent. Thank-you.

What are the best substitutes at same Price ??

[MrXboy]

Thanks for that video, Vic. I bought a gold colored A8 for my GF in middle-Sept and she's loved it.

[pclarkey]

Ok... this is a A8 reveiw or a A8 versus S8 comparison!!!!????

[charlielowe]

1:20 I see a dent on the left corner, 5:15 I see a faint scratch on the top right of the screen, did you drop the phone when you were testing it?

[Gogga]

Great review, thank you sir! Keep up the good work!

[hectorheath]

Your accent and fast speaking made listening to this difficult, I had to play it several times. I've just bought an A8, and I like it.

[muhammadafiqaimanbinmuhama]

i want this phone as present...please🙏

[konradzluh]

Can you tell me what is your experiance with the VOICE CALL QUALITY? How the voice sounds? Is this phone worth buying? I need a phone with 2 simcards and very good call quality. Can you recommend me this phone or other? I have heard of Motorola G6 but for me this phone is disgusting in touch and holding very slipy

[tarekh]

good review... I think Samsung blew this one with the price, the A-series phones from 2017 were great mid-range phones with good mid-range prices for a Samsung device
