News & Reviews:   Samsung Galaxy A8 plus 2018 specs

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!

Barely a day after leaks showed off the latest Samsung Galaxy A (2018) series and Samsung have officially announced their Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) and Samsung Galaxy A8+ (2018) smartphones. Successors of the previous Galaxy A5 (2017) and Galaxy A7 (2017), the 2 new Galaxy A (2018) phones share 18.5:9 aspect ratio Infinity Displays, dual front cameras and IP68 dust and water resistance. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details yet, but it is expected globally in January 2018. Malaysia generally gets Samsung phones quickly so we shouldn't have to wait too long.

While rumours about the next Samsung Galaxy A (2018) series have appeared, some clear-cut images and tech specs of what appears to be the Galaxy A8 (2018) and Galaxy A8+ (2018) have appeared. Originally appearing in a video clip, this has since been taken down, but images on GSMArena are still there showing 5.5-inch and 6-inch 18:9 aspect ratio Infinity Design Super AMOLED FullHD+ displays, rear fingerprint sensors (placed below the rear camera thankfully!) and dual front cameras.
