[@youssuflaila1855]

@@gadgetmatch thanks for your video! Which chipset is better? Note 5's or a8's?

[@tranzision]

I subscribed because of these quality reviews!

[@mikelemire1955]

[@gelorodriguez1775]

Best review channel! Hands up to you🙌

[@kzzenpaichan7278]

wow I'm your new viewer.. and I'm speachless and left without question because your reviews are very informative and full information on what you reviewing...new subscriber here 😊😊

[@capricornus993]

Hey Josh! Good job as always. Tell me this- are the top and bottom bezels uneven in thickness? I know it sounds irrelevant but it’s been bugging me since the phone launched.

[@raytonmachan2855]

Hi josh!!! Gadget match you really help us a lot keept it up

[@soliellei]

This channel needs more subs

[@BJDTBOYNEXTDOOR]

Ive been waiting for this review..

[@blueraven8060]

This is flagship phone level. I love that the screen is not curve so we are able to apply screen protector better. By the way i bought this phone 1700 SAR (around 23,000 Pesos) with Samsung Pack added.

[@calvinthoeng]

Thanks for taking photos of Cambodia. Hope to have more photos of Siem Reap in next videos.

[@dhezhee]

Got my A8 2 weeks ago and I am so happy with it.

[@josephjaygichuru]

Nice video..really liking the A8+

[@dalton998]

Thanks for the awesome review. I'm considering the p20 lite or the a7 2017. Which one should I go with??

[@maritinazis6322]

Hallo! Do you suggest A8+ or mate 10 pro to be better? (I'm interested in camera and front facing camera in low light conditions)

[@sokhachea3858]

im using it..A8 plus...great phone for me...but thanks to you for visiting my country...Cambodia...☺😊😀😁😃😄

[@travelincambodia8894]

Cambodia is my country. Thank you so much bro that mentioned it.

[@usmanabdulkadir3334]

Awesome review keep it up as always

[@kimyi2241]

Hello from Cambodia . I really like all ur videos

[@jasonpamplona4056]

Hi GadgetMatch, what phone can you recommend that can par with A8? I would love to get A8 but the price is to high for me.

[@noriyaaaaa]

Best review ever!

[@shaihatano4907]

this is what i wanted when someone review a phone etc. they put a price of a phone etc. LOVE THIS PHONE

[@fahimhasnat9949]

easy to understand your words 😁 thumbnail nailed it 😍

[@auliamate]

GadgetMatch: gives glowing review also GM: can't recommend WTF

[@von_9]

I’m from Cambodia. Nice to see u visited here ❤️

[@michaelcobb7666]

Great review!

[@khnbreion]

You didn't put a Gadgetmatch seal of approval on that phone? 🤔🤔

[@mkmaddy2761]

Love this review

[@aledska]

Where did you buy it from for a us style charger brick?

[@joschuasulapas1797]

the gadgetmatch seal is missing. they surely don't recommend it because of it's price hahaha. and please always include the price. thanks.

[@jayhandelazerna8463]

Hi gadget match... I am one of ur avid fan and subscriber as well.. Can I ask what is your personal phone today?

[@Erbilforever]

How long does it last using mobile data (LTE) ?

[@anobayantv]

Cool Review :)

[@cfcufc007]

Does it have dual Bluetooth audio and soundcamp app support like the s8 and note 8

[@robbieaccuser3703]

love this review

[@Isaac-gh5ku]

6:40 I would go for the Note FE, even though it doesn't have 18:9 display. I hope it will have Samsung Experience UI instead of TouchWiz, and a fingerprint scanner.

[@TheSpecialChocolateTABS]

im confused about the screen sizes.. on the video. it says the normal a8 is at 5.8 but the samsung site shows 5.6 inches.. which is it?

[@evilbatak]

Hey Guys, I have a hard time to make decision which phone to buy between Samsung a8 vs Mi mix 2, what will be your advise?

[@hengbun2926]

You have visited Cambodia ? 😱. Why don’t you ask me to guide you lolz.. I always watch your video review.. warm respect from Cambodia 🤤

[@gadgetmatch]

We’ll do a meetup next time! :)

[@dianalopez876]

Heng Bun I LOVE CAMBODIA!!!❤❤❤

[@islammahmoud3758]

Does it record videos in slow motion?

[@mist2622]

When are you guys gonna do a Zenfone 4 Max Lite review or unboxing? Nobody else has done it, but I'd love to see what you guys think of the phone the most Edit:That drawing of the Flash looked pretty neat

[@mugishmultani542]

Do it supports full bixby voice like s8 and s8+

[@mdts]

I watched this A8 review as my other option since there is no more galaxy FE here in the Philippines.. so sad.. but at the end you still recommend the Galaxy Note FE.. i am so torn..

[@ohyeahyeah6172]

I like this design better than the s8. I dont really like the edge display

[@gadgetmatch]

It’s definitely intended for people who don’t like the curved display. The experience is more or less the same :)

[@greenrobot5]

also the edges are easier to crack if it falls

[@arrrghie12086]

Also the placement of fingerprint scanner is ergonomically better on A8

[@alistergoh9744]

It was a mistake

[@bumbledee3346]

great to hear someone else doesnt like the edge display/edge look on phones. All I hear is compliments after compliments about edge displays which has encouraged more phones to come out with the look and makes it harder to shop for a phone that I like. I find that for me the edge feel makes it harder to hold and pick up my phone.... Anyway... I now feel less alone thanks to your comment~

[@xenonakhiva44]

I'm definitely gonna buy one!!!!

[@jasharslife234]

i always watch video from you channel....more powerful to you

[@emilysims745]

Does the a8 come with a free phone case?

[@sandking8899]

Is it available in the usa?

[@HungryBrothersFood]

Watching this video on a8+ ❤❤😍 love the phone.....

[@gadgetszone555]

thank for caming to cambodia ... i'm your cambodian fan .. i'm also using galaxy A8+ and i really like it..

[@gadgetmatch]

Yay! We 💙 Cambodia!

[@gadgetszone555]

អគុណ

[@jacure123]

Phearum ke "coming." :)

[@serge0251]

Was about to get the A8+ here in the philippines. But then I saw the huawei mate 10 was only a thousand pesos more. Ended up switching from samsung to huawei. This phone is awesome though, I regret nothing.

[@darkestknight7755]

i really like your videos

[@yanztvph]

Michael josh, what is your favorite phone?

[@domalexus1991]

so there two kinds of a8+? which is 4gb ram and 6gb ram?

[@sambigbang8614]

Lagi ako nanood ng video mo hehehe from siasi sulu😁

[@chiragsingla8710]

I am myself and I am watching gadget match☺️👍

[@richardlauron6743]

Hi! Do you have a review on Samsung Galaxy On Max? :)

[@drei_gp1629]

which is better galaxy a8 or huawei nova 2i?

[@yobmas722]

A review on the A6 pleaseee :D

[@Ginshaker22]

How much is the retail price of the A8 plus

[@belindaginete2931]

I think the A8 looks more like the Note 8 with the square-ish design.

[@gadgetmatch]

It's definitely a throwback to the time when Samsung phones didn't have curved displays.

[@belindaginete2931]

Yes it does. 👍

[@PuffyAmiYumiMLBB]

Also the same with A9 Pro (2016) the square shaped

[@quyrew]

Belinda Ginete looks like an edgeless note 8 and single camera

[@KaylaBas]

nahhhhhhhhhhhhh looks more like the s9 to me

[@Moha-eh9tq]

When your dad says cheese but you don't know which camera to look at (the front camera I'm talking about)

[@chrislenepanlilio5852]

Can you please review the gaming too? Because im more comfortable if im watching this channel. Thanks!

[@mdsojibhossain597]

I think your one information is long and that is display size ,,,a8 display size 5.6" ..but you showed up 5.8"..

[@edzcausapin7937]

is galaxy A8plus a dual sim phone???

[@refearingo910]

How much? Thanks.

[@EdeniMal]

[@aaronjacobfox4612]

[@joshwiwi]

I love it! Im about to search the price here in ph until you showed the price in PH 😀

[@ralphdelposo9688]

This one or Oneplus 5t??? That would be a great showdown :)

[@MIGOGERLO]

Can it do bokeh using the rear cam?

[@fullzero1147]

[@aditnosaurus308]

[@kellywong8166]

U video very Awesome.....

[@dianllypichardo3468]

Pleaseeee can you do the Samsung Galaxy A8s review unboxing 😊

[@oneileo66]

It's a great buy in 2021

[@Erbilforever]

its a really good phone and i will probably buy it but the camera is not good , it has too much color noise in dark, the selfie photos have washed out color , the video focus keeps jumping back and forth.

[@julieannesanjosefansworldw8987]

Man!! I'm watching this on my Note FE. And I actually have chosen this over A8/A8+ (2018).

[@cambodiaphnompenhhh]

i was like Whhaaaaatt? Cambodia? i hope you liked Cambodia! How long were you there for? Awesome review as always!!! Greetings from Cambo.

[@gadgetmatch]

We visited Phnom Penh and Koh Rong for around 2 weeks. It’s beautiful, we hope to come back very soon!

[@cambodiaphnompenhhh]

GadgetMatch yes please feel free to contact me I would love you take you guys on a day cruise around the islands. I hope you already did because the islands are beautiful.

[@kevintedderueda6010]

[@isaacamos3613]
