Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Review

The biggest feature plucked from the S8 is the Infinity Display. The A8 boasts a 5.6-inch Super AMOLED panel with a 1080 x 2220 resolution and slimmed down bezel. The screen doesn’t curve as it does on the S8, but it looks great and is the perfect size if you don’t want to carry around a really big phone.

In fact, I’d say the A8’s size is just about perfect. It’s similar to the iPhone 8, but with a noticeably bigger screen. The metal body wraps arounds the sides, with the slightly rounded finish making it comfortable to hold in one hand. Lots of mid-range phones go big because it’s easier to fit all the components inside, but Samsung’s decision to make it a little smaller will likely set the device apart.

If you’ve used an S8 and S8+ for even a short amount of time, you’ll likely have nightmares about the terrible position of the fingerprint scanner. In a move that I’m sure will translate to the S9, the scanner now sits below the camera on the rear of the device; and as a result it’s far easier to hit. I still believe it’s a tad on the small size – and an odd shape – but it’s still a huge improvement. The A8 is IP68 rated for water- and dust-resistance, too.
