According to our mobile phone expert
The Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) is the first smartphone from the Galaxy A series with a dual selfie camera. The camera has 16 and 8 megapixels, which results in razor-sharp selfies. You can take clear pictures with the 16-megapixel rear camera as well. You'll find a fingerprint scanner underneath the camera, which you can use to easily unlock the device. Enjoy TV series and movies on the nearly bezelless 5.6-inch Full HD screen. Does your smartphone need to be able to deal with a bump or two? The A8 has a metal casing and has an IP68 certification, which means it's dust and waterproof as well.

My old Samsung Galaxy S5 had some minor defects that could make my life miserable. So a new one had to be brought in. I thought the S8 was too expensive, the S9 will be even more expensive. Ultimately, a smartphone is a piece of cake with Android on it. And if I open a heavy app in 0.2 or 0.7 seconds, I won't spend hundreds of euros more for it. So, bought this A8 few days after it became available.
So, after several weeks of intensive use, I have to admit that I did not make a bad buy at all.
The camera can handle HDR, is very fast and takes nice sharp photos even in the dark. With the double selfie camera, you can even blur the background.
The A8 also has an Always-on display, but I disable this as a notification light takes over this work.
The battery is simply wonderful. A nice 2 to 3 days without charging is a luxury. And I use the smartphone quite a lot. Do you have to load anyway? Then the fast battery charging is the solution.
For the rest I'm short: the device is also dust and waterproof (IP68 certified). The screen is clear, clear and very sharp. Also scratch-free because of the Gorila glass. The screen has almost no bezels, but I like that. If you really don't have any edges, you can also unintentionally press on the sides. The device is then rather uncomfortable in the hand and a case does not fill the entire device. So, I definitely don't want a borderless screen. It fits 2 sim cards. Unlocking is also possible with facial recognition, although I have not tested this yet because I do not think it is necessary.
So yes, very happy with this smartphone.

Biggest complaint is bloatware. Am used to a bare android which is much more desirable. After some tinkering you can disable a lot but some things are very present and not customizable, such as the overlay menus in the standard camera app. Very disturbing and I don't think it can be removed. Of course you can download other apps, but they are often not adapted to the capabilities of the mobile phone. And the camera app is something prominent. The 'fast charging' function sounded very tempting, but the new device is still in the charger every day despite moderate use. Samsung emojis are painfully idiotic too. Not recommended if you are sensitive to bloatware.
