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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Well done, but I won't buy any more.

At first I thought I would not get used to the lack of a home button, but then I got used to it. This turns out to be very convenient and saves space on the bottom panel! 3500 is a decent battery for this model, but we all know that there is never too much) A full charge is enough for a working day. I get a total memory of 32GB (23GB available) + a 64GB flash drive + a 100GB cloud. For me, internal memory is only needed for storing applications, so I'm not complaining about the amount of memory. Especially after j3 for 8GB and 4GB available. I would recommend buying this model to those who will be more relaxed about the above disadvantages of the camera type. In fact, if compared with the S8, then apart from the design, camera and contactless charging, it is no different. Talking about the price, the phone is worth the money compared to other Samsungs, the brand name is definitely there and should not be surprised. The price is offset by after-sales service - Samsung is easier to fix than Asus, ZTE, etc.

Pros
  • This model has a really decent design. Convenient location of the fingerprint scanner, small bezels. Both the headphone jack and the charging jack on the same side are a big plus for me. I also wanted to note the many ways to unlock a smartphone with a pin code, password, pattern, fingerprint scanner and face scanner. By the way, the face scanner is fast and sensitive. A8 Plus has a really high-quality screen, good colors, the eyes do not get tired. Of the chips of this model, I like the protected folder, where you can install a duplicate application and use two phones, as it were, as well as several power saving modes. On the newly purchased A8 Plus, you will not find many unnecessary applications that, as usual, fill phones, only everything you need. I really like the front camera, but it makes no sense that it's dual, because live focus doesn't work the way it should. The brightness sensor is acceptable, it will make the brightness comfortable to look at no matter where you are. I like that the SIM slots are located in different places and the memory card slot is not combined with SIM cards.
Cons
  • I am extremely unhappy with the viewing angle and visibility in bright sunlight. I was terribly upset by the main camera in the dark. With home lighting (4 spotlights and a chandelier with 5 lamps per 15 sq. M.), it is very soapy, at first I didn’t believe it and thought it was some kind of marriage, but then I realized that this was the whole A8. Autofocus is often buggy, stabilization is so-so. The phone is big and thick enough. I don’t have a small hand, but it’s still not very comfortable to hold, especially without a case, since the back panel slides. I don’t understand what the problem is, but my Samsung Pay is buggy and according to reviews I’m not the only one.
