Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Review

[@jakecho2449]

"This and that is not as good as S8" it's almost like it was supposed to be a mid-range alternative to S8 and not it's competitor.

[@Justin87878]

not Mid-range, but Upper-Mid range. Mid range will be J series and M series.

[@shellyannclarke8372]

Exactly a mid range phon will have a mid range chip .but he barely talks about the paramount quality the phone is build with.

[@roccol3110]

The S8 lite exists.

[@DijaFix]

I've been using the A8 for a bit over a week now and you know, this phone is excellent. The fingerprint scanner location is good and to my surprise, the camera doesn't catch smudges as easily as the rest of the rear glass. And the scanner is really fast actually, not slow at all 🤔 the phone has had no noticeable lags and the battery life is good as well. I've only had small issues with the speaker that will probably be fixed in a future update 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@golemwei467]

J. R. What other problems do u face? I'm considering to get this phone :/

[@DijaFix]

Kix Koh none other. And the problem with the speaker has become less and less intrusive over the course of a week of using and it occurs rarely if ever now

[@JamesPitt04]

I'm buying it this week. I have the a5 2016 and it is great but i think its time time to upgrade to this one.

[@DijaFix]

Pitu Guli I had the same one before upgrading 😄 it's been an increase, truly

[@_zry]

A8 has 3000mah battery capacity.. Does it last longer as A8 is new samsung phone? phone that I using now J5 16 has 3200mah and it doesn't last long anymore(2 years old)..

[@clarissea8830]

Just got my very first samsung phone and i got the a8 2018, this phone just amazed.

[@F0undati0nsofD3cay]

The A8 is a mid-range phone, so obviously it wouldn't be as good as the S8. I actually think that the A8 is a great looking phone, and as someone who doesn't own a phone, I think that it would make a perfect first phone for anyone (Especially me though, because I REALLY want a phone!!!)

[@gmonkeygmonkey476]

Stop comparing the a8 to the s8. You talk about how it is 'overpriced' but really any other phone with these specs would be at most 100 dollars cheaper and that is without the infinity screen or the dual front cameras or the premium buld quality, so really, its's not overpriced at all. Also, you whine about it not being as good as the s8, a phone that costs 300 dollars more while saying that the a8 is a mid range phone. Why not compare it to another mid range phone? And finally, I came to this video for a review of the phone, not a comparison whit a phone costing 300dollars more.

[@LoveChurchill]

So in love with ur comment bro,I support i❤❤

[@LoveChurchill]

This is what I've been saying too,totally support u👍👍

[@trebarksdale9346]

Samsung will always be the top dog I don't care what anyone says because they even give there mid range phones flagship level features and goodies. Good video 😊 can't wait to get mine unlocked and take it to cricket

[@DonaldBaysII]

all I could hear the entire video was, its close to the S8 but its NOT the S8.

[@sabii_sabee]

Donald Bays II a8 looks like my phone - samsung galaxy s5 😂😂😂😂

[@94Chiko]

@@sabii_sabee i have the s5 and it looks nothing like the A8

[@sabii_sabee]

@@94Chiko it did lmao now i have s8

[@94Chiko]

@@sabii_sabee ok say that to yourself if you feel better then

[@MrXboy93]

Thanks for that video, Vic. I bought a gold colored A8 for my GF in middle-Sept and she's loved it.

[@JoseOrtiz-cw7dp]

A8 is good enough for me, most important thing for me is connectivity, and this phone delivers, also I’m impressed with the sound quality, with good quality earphones will deliver amazing hi fi sound, maybe this phone is not for the youngsters demands, but for older users who need just the basics (improved with steroids) is enough. Love It.

[@stephyclaws]

How is the camera in your opinion ?

May I please ask what camera you used to shoot this review? It looks excellent. Thank-you.

[@MohamedHisham_Civil_Engineer]

What are the best substitutes at same Price ??

[@charlielowe918]

1:20 I see a dent on the left corner, 5:15 I see a faint scratch on the top right of the screen, did you drop the phone when you were testing it?

[@konradzlu5h]

Can you tell me what is your experiance with the VOICE CALL QUALITY? How the voice sounds? Is this phone worth buying? I need a phone with 2 simcards and very good call quality. Can you recommend me this phone or other? I have heard of Motorola G6 but for me this phone is disgusting in touch and holding very slipy

[@Abdullah-jm6yo]

I boought this phone for about 250$ In middle east and this phone is obviously a budget range for me and its so amazing, the camera, the fingerorint is quick, the front cam is amazing but a bit snappy, games look beautiful pubg is smooth, my battery doesn't drain easily and charges upto 40% in half an hour

[@zaryl2k]

how's the camera on this phone? i understand it does not have OIS for both rear & front? my old A5 2016 got OIS if i am not mistaken

[@pclarkey1988]

Ok... this is a A8 reveiw or a A8 versus S8 comparison!!!!????

[@muhammadafiqaimanbinmuhama4998]

i want this phone as present...please🙏

[@Carnyzzle]

This isn't a good review, instead of comparing a midrange device to a flagship, you should've compared it to other midrange devices like the Moto x4, Honor 8, Moto G, Nokia 6, etc.

[@antraxbeta23]

s7 edge , nuf said , and you still have money left for a pizza a beer and a condom

[@supersosiska]

LOLZ! Good advice though :)

[@srebdemijan]

Say No To Condoms !!!

[@youngsterjoey494]

Dejan P say no to Condoms, say hi to Aids!

[@Lucas-tg3hv]

S7 edge is still like 560 or something and the s8 is 599 not worth it

[@antraxbeta23]

Fire not in my country the S7 is under 400euro

[@Keeacer]

So what are the better alternatives?

[@Dianamless]

If I have a PIN Lock Screen and I want to turn off the phone, will the phone ask me for the PIN again like S8 or it will be turn off automatically with no question about it?

[@Gogga7]

Great review, thank you sir! Keep up the good work!

[@jortuspelatus7364]

If you want a Samsung phone at that price, the Note FE got it beat.

[@mdcchannel4147]

[@traum4rei959]

Your accent and fast speaking made listening to this difficult, I had to play it several times. I've just bought an A8, and I like it.

[@r2stik]

can you compare mobile phone camea LED? 10 flagship phone? OR CAN YOU NOT?

[@britemun]

Very nice vdo and detailing...Can u answer my 1 question ? Does A8 2018 support gear VR ?

[@phonegamerz269]

Stop comparing it to the s8, this is an a8 review not a comparison

[@tarekh0]

good review... I think Samsung blew this one with the price, the A-series phones from 2017 were great mid-range phones with good mid-range prices for a Samsung device

[@yahtadi5152]

This or LG G6. What do you think?

[@frankhutchinson8068]

Thanks for reply. Are you sure? Will check it out further. My Note 4 Duos has that but it was the days, sigh, of removable backs and replaceable batteries. The Samsung S8 and Note 8 dual sim versions are Hybrid and you must choose between extra sim OR storage.

[@SunshinexWonderland]

Frank Hutchinson A friend of mine got it and there are 2 spots the first one can contain 2 sim cards and the second can contain one memory card ^^

[@frankhutchinson8068]

herensugeak. You're right mate! Samsung.com official site agrees with you. "Two nano sim slots AND memory card slot. Knock me down with a feather etc. It'll be too much to hope they are both 4G and controlled from settings though. ie preconfigured, one slot 2G only the other slot 4G capable. Cheers.

[@SunshinexWonderland]

Frank Hutchinson I believe they are both 4G but I don't know about the rest!

[@nomiorakzai]

I got it around $600 in my country and its worth it. And i m a flagship user.

[@Jajuls]

[@nomiorakzai]

D' Jajuls don't care but its a very good phone.

ANormalPerson what?! Where is that?

[@ajnstajnkosmos]

Is it good deal for 350 euros?

[@Erbilforever]

Why the hell do you compare A8 with S8 ?!? its stupid because this review should be about the A8 only , if you compare it to S8 then everybody thinks its a bad phone

[@Faithful-Preservation]

I'm in a slight predicament. I can get an A6 Plus for €284 or spend €345 for the A8, what should I do?

[@basilchibuike6159]

xGeoThumbs hello, have you made a choice?

[@davidfrisken1617]

Cool, so apart from the processor it has a much better screen design that doesn't curve on the edge and a metal back. Higher quality all round.

[@gogi983]

Are your absolutely sure the Galaxy A8 is shipped with Gorilla Glass 5? I read somewhere that it was actually glass but GG5...

[@felipegallego7371]

[@lestherjohnaprecio942]

What is the price of A8 in the philippines??..comment down below plsss

[@fightnight14]

Expensive mid-range. Essential and OP5T kills on this market

[@sic22l]

It needs two major things: - one more GPU core - OIS Price could've been lower, they also skimped on decent sound processor.

[@JoaoVictor-bo6me]

This Review is fantastic! Very good! Like!

[@jiegoloco2001]

will this upgrade to android P?

[@sidthiru1509]

My a8 runs on android 8 Oreo and samsung user experience 9.0 and it's bloody good

[@paradisopaul]

Actually the A8 2018 64GB Dual SIM model is $460 and the S8 Dual SIM 64GB is $610, so it's a considerable $150 difference.

[@parmjeetpunia828]

When this phone is coming to india?

[@archmusictv4486]

This is very nice phone but cannot connect on otg...please help me how to connect..

[@romh838]

I actually got use to using the fingerprint scanner on the S8+ and now Note8, it didn't bother me at all and I'm pretty sure it dosnt bother much people too as we all did get use to it but under the camera does make things easier for our fingers but who cares as we got iris scanner

[@bazil4146]

Why not put the S8 and the A8 in the side to side comparison

[@Barry864]

Abraham Lincoln, is that you reviewing a smartphone

[@sid_x_18]

What it’s price?

[@rainertargama6551]

Why are you complaining about it not comparing to the S8 when it's mid-range not a flagship like the s8

[@DOESICK]

What about the xa2 ultra?

[@shellyannclarke8372]

I love your unboxing of the a8 but this video was clearly not a review but cry down of a8 and vs video of the s8 and you should change the name of your video because it misleading .and you should honestly watch the video and see for yourself what the viewer are talking about. But I honestly love your unboxing video of a 8

[@Santinel007]

nice review we wait the huawei P20 lite review :D

Good Review,! This one video Very good and unbiased opinion. Thank Phone arena that Velasco has not reviewed this phone XD

[@tolisbergidis2347]

you don't have an idea what you talking about the device cost 300 euro, you gave 8 ratting at the a8 of 2017 and 6.5 in this i suggest you resign from a reviewer you re irrelative!!

I'd buy it in march 2018 . I like it. It's still available using now.

the back of the A8 is almost like the S9 but except the front screen is flat and not curved , slightly slower processor and yeah

[@milemilecaric]

If it is 400$ it would be a much better phone

[@tomdomagalski3679]

mile caric if it was $200 I'd go and buy it. I like playing with toys. Haha

[@antraxbeta23]

i think you mean 300$ , even that it's dumb , phone prices have gone out of hand , the galaxy s3 was 600$ when it came out , now you have phones like this , a midrange phone who has the price of a flagship , like no thanks , wait until you can get it for 300$ max or cheap on some carrier

[@felynemaster8360]

I'd pay $200 because of the specs... Samsung is living in 2016 or what?

[@lion-ho2td]

250$ is already too much for this phone specs wise.

First time ever Ive watched a YT video and had to slow it down (Settings > Speed > 0.75). You were talking just a little too fast for me which is funny coz English is my first language!

How do games feel on the device are the slow and laggy or are they running fine without stutter(talking about heavy games like pubg and asphalt 8)

[@skyworks1621]

José Díaz The phone was full at 3 am, i woke up an 7.25 am and it used 3 % to 97 % with green always on display. I use a phone a lot with wifi you tube, 4g you tube, music stream,news app and binance streem and it gets me trough the day with ease.

[@jonathanm.6228]

Oh great. Another reviewer who says there are better options. Now, what are they?

[@charliewilson3528]

This would be the type of phone to compare with a Poco phone. Samsung could use this type of phone to compete with people who do not want to spend a great deal of $ on a phone.
