Hey, what's up guys, the aah 2018 is the newest member of Samsung's Galaxy a series? It's a set of mid-Rangers that bring some flash up quality features, but with so many budget options available. Is this year's model worth the premium and will for GSM marina? And this is our Samsung Galaxy a8 2018 review our black Samsung Galaxy, a 20-18 is a successor to 2017 s, galaxy a5 and like Samsung's 2017 phones as a build of glass on the front and back on a polished, aluminum frame, the a8 s, bezels and frame are rounded to lend. Some curliness is a contrast to the slim tapered. Look that you see on a lot of phones these days. The a8 is a bit thicker and heavier than the Galaxy S8 and the way it gives it a sturdy feel it's not fragile and the age 2018 has full ip68 dust and water resistance like last year, which you usually only see on flagship phones on the back. Samsung has finally found a perfect spot for its rear mounted fingerprint reader directly below the camera.

The reader is decently fast and much easier to reach than on the s8. The internal memory comes at either 32 or 64 gigs and is expandable through micros there's a USB type-c port at the bottom, as well as a 3.5 millimeter jack for headphones and just like on the a5. The single speaker is mounted on the side which some people find keeps it out of the way of your fingers. The h20 18 is a 5.6 inch, AMOLED display with a 1080p resolution. But unlike last year, there is now a trendy 18 point 5 by 9 aspect.

Ratio Samsung calls it an infinity display, but though it is slightly curved with rounded corners. It's not quite like what you see on the s8. Nevertheless, the display is class-leading, delivering deep blacks, good brightness and excellent sunlight legibility. Colors are accurate, and you can choose from a few different color profiles and there's an always-on display. So when your phone's off, you can see the time and notifications at a glance inside this phone is an outscore Enos, 7 8, 8 v chipsets with 4 gigs of ram in benchmarks.

The a8 performs well compared to its mid-range competition. It would is still no match for his flash of cousins and everyday use. Though everything feels smooth, and we didn't notice any lag. The a8 runs Android 7.1.1 nuked, with Samsung's UX. On top, it's the same software setup that comes with Samsung's latest flagship, the no dates just like on other Galaxy phones.

The home screen can be customized through Samsung's theme store, nix Samsung's virtual assistant can be accessed through the home screen -. Thankfully, unlike the flagships, there is no dedicated Bixby button. So no more accidental, activations Bixby is also acted through Bixby vision, which can recognize things in the camera. Give you options to buy them online, it's not perfect, but it is getting better. The a8 2018 has a 3000 William hour battery.

Just like last year's mark battery life is impressive. There are 92 hours in our proprietary tests about the same as last year. When your battery does get low. Don't worry thanks a fast-charging we were able to get from zero to around 40% in 30 minutes. The single main camera is 16 megapixels.

This year's model comes with a brighter F 1.7 aperture, though there is still no IS shots. Look quite good, though, with low noise and plenty of detail. Dynamic range is about average, but colors are nice and vivid thanks to the wider aperture of low-light shots come out. Nice too, though, the shutter speed can't go too low because of the lack of IS. The results still have good detail and an acceptable amount of noise.

The selfie setup has two cameras: a first for Samsung, both with fixed focus, one is 16 megapixels and the other is 8 megapixels, both with an F 1.9 aperture, the 16 megapixel cameras. Photos have plenty of capture, detail, superb colors and contrasts, and great dynamic range is one of the best selfie cams we've ever seen. You can switch the 8 megapixel camera on the fly angle, abyss wider angle lens. It's recommended for group shots. It's not a lot wider, though the two cameras can work together to produce a photo with a D focus backgrounds.

Portrait shots, look good with a gradual blur and separation. You can adjust. The amount of blur later to video recording is in 1080p, and it looks good detail is decent with low noise and nice-looking colors. At the end of the day, the 820 18 is an excellent phone. It's not a flagship, but with this AMOLED screen great battery and impressive camera, it delivers a lot of what people are looking for in a smartphone.

The trouble is at 500 euros, it's not exactly a budget phone. There are a lot of competitive phones that go for less these days and even last year's flagships are going down in price. Hopefully we see the same happen with the a8 pretty soon, thanks for watching, don't forget to Like and subscribe.
