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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best thing I've ever used, I recommend it to everyone!

The phone is completely excellent, for instant messengers, social networks - that's it! I have it in active mode, it lasts for a day, and this is 4,5,5.5 hours of screen operation, which is just fine for me! As a game, no. Although this is not critical for me, I do not play phone games. I often photograph documents, no problems. I constantly use Samsung Pay, I generally left my cards at home, and I’m not afraid to go to any store, I don’t need to think, but if there are nfc terminals there? There is a fast charge in the phone, in 30 minutes, up to 50%. I bought it in November 2022, from Android 8, now it has been ated to Android 9. After a shovel from Sony, I thought to take a smaller model, just a8, with a diagonal of 5.8, but this one with 6 seemed small

Pros
  • 1. Water resistance is a great feature, you can forget about the fear of spilling something or flooding your phone, you can go for a swim with it, but provided that the water is unsalted. You can safely wash the phone from grizzy 2. Samsung Pay - GREAT SERVICE! In general, he stopped carrying cards! And its main plus is this (a bit of terminology that everyone misses and does not understand the beauty of this service): in addition to NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, it supports its own technology - MST (Magnetic Secure Transmission). Thanks to this, Samsung Pay is compatible not only with NFC payment devices, but also with payment terminals where bank cards are accepted only with a contact chip and a magnetic stripe. In Belarus, especially in Minsk, there are terminals without NFC, and it's cool to see dumbfounded cashiers, and all thanks to MST 3. Seper AMOLED screen - this is a bomb, for me personally, black is really black! The screen here is normal and it is non-acidic, like some phones. Well, one more plus arising from the screen 4. The size of the phone - according to its characteristics, it is a shovel, 6 inches, but due to the aspect ratio of 18.5: 9, it is elongated, and not as huge as my previous model from Sony, also six inches 5. There are 2 SIM cards and a memory card in the phone, and attention! THE PHONE IS THREE SLOTS FOR EVERYTHING! That is, the phone has 2 SIM cards and a place for a SD card, and you don’t need to choose: a second SIM card or a SD card, you can put everything at once 6. Headphone jack - it’s good that they didn’t cut it out, even though I have wireless ones that work for a week, sometimes I forget to discharge it, it saves. 7. The phone is stuffed with almost all sensors and you can turn on the electronic ruler on it, which is quite accurate
Cons
  • I'll write about it right away, for someone it's the most important thing 1. Performance in games - the phone is not weak, but not powerful either. It plays all games at medium settings, it can be at high settings, but with slight friezes, I don’t play on the phone myself, for me it’s not critical at all 2. Cameras - there are three of them. The main one is 16 megapixels: it takes photos well, but sometimes it smears them, and there is an artificial software deterioration of the picture, which is funny, but against the background of the Chinese it shoots better, at night everything is not bad either, especially if there is something well-lit in the frame: rear, terrain. Front cameras - there are two of them, a wide-angle camera and a regular one, it would be better if they did the main one . I don’t take selfies, but they are great for video calls. And what surprised me, climbing the forums, people say that the camera programmatically distorts the picture, it’s not clear why . You can sometimes encounter this, let’s say you took a relief, and there are a lot of trees, a leaf can turn into a show, not leaves . But from the second time everything will be okay. And about video shooting . It amazed me when any Chinese has a video in fullhd and 60 frames, there is only fullhd and 30 frames . The front camera can shoot in the same 30 frames and 2k resolution 3. Memory - it is 32 GB in the version for the CIS, in Chinese 64 GB of internal memory. What prevented us from making 64 GB? that's another question, although a separate slot for the SD card saves
