Samsung Galaxy A8 is a high-level phone released back in 2015, packed with a great 1.5 GHz Octa-Core processor, an enormous 5.7" screen, and 2 cameras, a 16 megapixels back camera and a 5 mega-pixels front side camera. We will get a better understanding of this cellphone's pros when we get into specific details.

This cellphone feels much lighter than what one would expect from a phone this size. The A8 is a compact phone, taking into consideration it has a 5.7 inches screen and it's just 6.22 inches long. This phone has a beautiful design, with a thickness of just 0.23 inches. The A8 is a mix of Plastic and Aluminum . Samsung sells the Samsung Galaxy A8 in champagne gold, midnight black and pearl white.

Samsung decided to equip this phone using a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 5430 system chip, which holds a high-tech 1.5 GHz Octa-Core CPU with a large 2 GB of RAM memory. This phone counts with an amazing 32 GB internal storage and an SD card slot, more than enough to store lots of apps, games, photos and videos without having to worry about filling it.

This cellphone has two cameras, a 16 MP back facing camera and a 5 mega-pixels front-facing camera. This phone also films Full HD 1920x1080 videos.

This cellphone includes an astonishing 1080 x 1920 (Full HD) 5.7" screen, which makes all images and videos look beautiful and brightful.

The A8 uses a large 3050 mAh battery that can keep this cellphone running for several hours and even reach the end of the day without charging it at all.

This phone has wifi capability (although it can't share it with other devices as a mobile mobile hotspot). This phone doesn't have a sim card, because it doesn't support GSM connections.

This phone also features many cool characteristics such as Fingerprint Identification, Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth (allows communication with other bluetooth phones and accessories) and GPS Navigation, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

No matter if you will use this phone majorly for internet broswing and social networks, want a phone for playing games, are a photography fan or want this cellphone for work, you will probably love this phone.
