Makes a Mark
Samsung’s Galaxy A8+, with its rectangular glass and metal body and slightly curved edges, exudes a premium feel. It has a six-inch infinity Super AMOLED display with 2220x1080p resolution, and yet the phone is easy to hold. Samsung has moved the fingerprint sensor right below the camera module and has also added a face-unlock feature (which is unremarkable compared to Apple’s Faear ceID). The A8+ runs on 2.2 GHz
+ 1.6 GHz Exynos 7885 octa-core processor, paired with 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB internal storage. It’s a decent performer; there was no lag while streaming videos or playing graphics-heavy games either.
Its 16-MP rear camera captures sharp images in well-lit settings but struggles in low light. There is a dual front camera with Live Focus for capturing images with depth effect, which can also be adjusted while editing the image. Water and dust resistant, the A8+ packs in a
3,500 mAh battery that lasts a day easily and also comes with a battery-saving mode.
