Samsung announce stunning Galaxy A8 smartphone
If you think that Samsung Galaxy S6 looks super hot, you should take a look at the new Galaxy A8 and you will be impressed. Samsung has today announced the new Galaxy A8 higher-midrange smartphone in China and is available for pre-order (white, black and gold color options). The phone looks absolutely breathtaking. Galaxy A8 is powered by Snapdragon 615 chip and has a 5.7” FullHD Super AMOLED display. A breath taking display without bezels and extremely thin top will surely make heads turn when Samsung releases the phone in other major markets. The best feature of the Galaxy A8 is its thickness. The phone is just 5.9mm thick.
Galaxy A8 will come preloaded with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop operating system and will have 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage. Unlike the Galaxy S6, A8 will come with a microSD card slot (up to 128GB of memory). Galaxy A8 has a 16mp rear camera and a 5mp front facing camera. The large 3050mAh battery should give full day of battery backup on normal usage.
Similar to other A series devices, Galaxy A8 comes with metal frame, the home key doubles up as a finger print sensor. The A8 definitely looks promising and we do hope that this one turns out to be a massive hit in mid range.
