Buyers Favorite
Samsung's A-series philosophy is as straight-forward as the corner of a house: to give almost everything that the top-end S-series smartphones offer (including looks), but without the fancy features that weigh down the price. For example, 2 SIM card slots instead of wireless charging. Or the ability to play FM radio instead of the expensive AKG headphones included. This prudent cost-saving policy appealed to many customers, and the A series became a bestseller. For example, in the CIS countries, A-series devices are consistently among the top ten best-selling smartphones.
Galaxy S8 on the minimum
What is interesting specifically about the 2018 Galaxy A8 Plus? It is made of glass and metal and outwardly repeats the flagship model Galaxy S8. The front and back sides are also covered with glass, and the edges smoothly turn into a metal frame, which tends to be as thin as possible. This finish of the case gives the impression that you have a smartphone that is more expensive than it actually is.
Everything is fine with iron
The main decoration of the smartphone is the Super AMOLED screen, which takes up almost all the free space. The screen resolution is 2220 by 1080 pixels, which is slightly less than the screen resolution of the much more expensive Galaxy S8. As for the filling, the A8 + is built on the basis of the new Exynos 7885 octa-core processor, equipped with 4 GB of RAM and a mid-range 16 MP camera. Such a hardware is enough with a margin for games like Fortnite, and for heavy applications.
Only the functions you need
As mentioned above, the A8 Plus 2018 does not have many extras that the average buyer does not need, like a DeX dock or a Dolby Atmos sound system. Instead, there are things more mundane. For example, the branded Neon Flip Cover, which protects the smartphone and nicely “blinks” with incoming calls and other notifications. There are also two separate SIM trays, a fingerprint scanner, a USB-C connector and a standard headphone output, which all manufacturers are trying to get rid of. In addition, A8 Plus 2018 boasts IP68 protection, which allows it to dive to a depth of one and a half metres for up to 30 minutes.
