Outdated Product
The first sign of Samsung, promoting the concept of "leaky" screens to the masses. The smartphone uses the Infinity-O reception — the "eye" of the 24 MP front camera is embedded directly into the display of the mobile device and is entirely framed by the screen. The role of the latter is assigned to a large-caliber IPS matrix of 6.39-inch diagonal with lively and juicy colour reproduction. The image is displayed on the Samsung Galaxy A8s screen at a maximum resolution of 2340x1080 pixels. The computing tasks on board the smartphone are occupied by an 8-core Snapdragon 710 chip, which is assisted by Adreno 616 graphics and 6/8 GB of RAM. Speed and responsiveness he does not hold both in everyday realities and in the lion's share of modern games. From the rear, the device is equipped with a...“three-story” main camera module: 24 + 10 + 5 MP (the usual viewing angle, a telephoto lens and a camera for assessing the depth of field of the frame). As a sub-flagship product, the smartphone has an NFC chip, dust and water protection, a USB-C port, and its battery, of course, replenishes the energy reserves in the tanks using fast and wireless charging technologies.

Why do smartphones start to slow down and what amount of RAM is now considered optimal?Let's explore the reasons for the slowdown and the optimal amount of RAM for smartphones

Notched display

The Galaxy A8s was the company's first model with the so-called Infinity-O screen. In it, the cutout for the front camera is actually in the screen itself, in the upper left corner. More surprisingly, this is not a beefy Galaxy S10-caliber flagship, but a mid-range A-series.

Judging by the comments on the network, not everyone will like the option with a hole in the screen. To some it resembles a bullet hole, to others a peephole. To make the notch less conspicuous, Samsung immediately released a pack of desktop wallpapers that use the front camera eye as a decorative element. It seems to us that it looks more interesting than a large unibrow like a watermelon merchant.

No bangs

The smartphone received a high-quality IPS display with a diagonal of 6.4" and Full HD resolution. The screen is surrounded by small side frames. The frameless percentage, according to the company, is 84%. At the same time, it’s even funny that the new product is a little more compact in all respects and lighter than the “four-chamber” Samsung Galaxy A9 with a diagonal of 0.1" less – these are the miracles that holes in the screen do.

The back of a peacock

The back of the model looks moderately original and very trendy — a trendy surface in 2018 with a gradient colour that shimmers in the sun with all the colours of the rainbow. But if the cheaper models of the company have a case made of plastic, then here we are dealing with glass and plastic. Therefore, the device lies comfortably in the hand.

Excellent camera

The front camera has a 24MP sensor and a wide-angle lens. Samsung says that they had to tinker with the camera so that the backlight of the screen does not interfere. In general, selfies are completely normal, we did not see any overexposure or distortions of the white balance. As for the main camera, it is triple here, with 24, 10 and 5 MP sensors. It is gratifying that triple modules have so quickly descended into the middle price segment, and now for more than 300 dollars you can actually get a high-quality camera at the level of two-year-old flagships.

Fast charge support

Inside the body of the smartphone is a mid-range Snapdragon 710 processor with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage (plus there is a microSD card slot). Naturally, the Galaxy A8s has no performance problems, the system runs smoothly, demanding games run without problems. Plus, there is a small margin of power for the next year and a half.

Among the additional chips, we highlight USB-C support, a fingerprint scanner, fast charging, an NFC chip, and protection against dust and water according to the IP68 standard. That is, it is not worth specifically drowning it, but in the event of a fall to a depth of one and a half metres, the smartphone can swim a little and then it will work as usual.

Additional features mobile phone Samsung Galaxy A8s:
  • Barometer, geomagnetic sensor, Hall sensor
  • ANT+ and Samsung Pay support
