News & Reviews:   Samsung Galaxy A8 2018 pre-order

Samsung mid-range smartphones have always caught the attention of the public for only one reason - is it worth buying? Since last year, the popularity of mid-range smartphones have kind of skyrocketed through the roof in Malaysia. Also, if you're an enthusiastic gadget follower, you would know that mid-range phones tend to look like premium phones too, which is what Samsung are doing with their latest Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) and Galaxy A8+ (2018).

Finally, the Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) and Galaxy A8+ (2018) are released in Malaysia for a price tag of RM1799 and RM2499 respectively. We got ourselves the plus variant and explored if there's actually any difference between the two. Well, turns out there isn't much except for a bigger display of 6-inch (FHD+), 6GB of RAM, 64GB internal storage and a bigger battery up to 3500mAh. We have already done a video for the Galaxy A8 (2018) right here, and without further ado, check out our Galaxy A8+ (2018) unboxing and hands-on video below. 

So not only did we get to see the Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018), but the plus variant - Galaxy A8+ (2018) was also revealed and both models will be available today for RM1799 and RM2499 respectively. Those who purchase the phones on 19 - 21 January 2018 will be able to get a free battery powerbank and a 64GB memory card. As the name suggests, the Galaxy A8+ (2018) is the bigger brother and has larger memory, display and battery capacity. We have already shown you our Galaxy A8 (2018) hands-on first impression, now check out the Galaxy A8+ (2018) model below!

Last year, when the Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) and Galaxy A7 (2017) came out, we quickly compared the two as the tech-specs were quite similar back then. Fast forward to one year later, the Galaxy A8 (2018) is coming out real soon so if you have the Galaxy A7 (2017), you might have wondered if it's worth it to upgrade or not. Just in case you were wondering, no, there's no Galaxy A8 (2017) model and the last time that an A8 model did come to Malaysia was way back in 2015. Anyway, check out our comparison below.
