Review on Smartphone Samsung Galaxy A8 4/32 GB RU, Dual nano SIM, black by Adam Kaniuk ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I³'m satisfied with the product, it³'s well made and the price is also satisfying.

Previously, I did not use Samsung, I had Chinese. Compared to them, I did not like the following: - No double tap unlock. I don’t like unlocking with a button - I’m afraid that it will break. Can be unlocked via "always on display", but it drains the battery by an additional 15% per day. You can unlock it with a branded case, but it seemed uncomfortable to me. Through the fingerprint - not convenient (it's on the bottom). As a result, I installed a program that unlocks through the proximity sensor - while it works. - On the screen of an incoming call, First name Middle name The last name of the caller does not fit (because they are located in one line) and are displayed in a cropped form, you have to guess who is calling you. A very embarrassing moment. The problem was solved by installing an additional application that changes the incoming call screen. - It is not entirely clear why such screen proportions (elongated). Not all applications are displayed correctly on such a screen (however, nothing critical). And I didn’t feel any benefit from the on-screen buttons either, but the screen under them works, which means it consumes additional energy. - Due to the fact that the display is "frameless" sometimes there are accidental touches of the screen. You have to be more careful. - Sellers claim that the amoled display is more energy efficient. I doubted it. The brightness is set to 50%, the theme is set to dark, the wallpaper is dark. At the same time, it doesn't matter - when the display works, the charge melts before our eyes. Apparently makes itself felt large size and high resolution. Summary: 25 it is not worth it, for this money you can take a more functional thing. If they sell for 18 - 20 then you might think (if you are ready to face the shortcomings).

Pros
  • Fast charging. Separate memory card slot. In Antutu, I gave out 100 thousand (although the tests published on the Internet are about 80 thousand). In general, a pleasant shell from Samsung (with the exception of some points indicated in the comments).
Cons
  • The battery is so-so, it could be more. You have to recharge every day. When the screen is on, the charge melts before our eyes. It is a little expensive - 25 I bought it only because in one of the well-known stores with a red sign there was a 25% discount on Galaxy. I just wanted a phone with a separate slot for a memory card and NFC, and this is a rare combination. There are some inconveniences in the shell (see comment), but they can be solved by installing third-party software. The most annoying thing is daily exercise.
