The handset is now listed on the Samsung's China website and
we can finally say that the company's thinnest phone to date is a reality and the
rumours we heard about it was right after all.
The device is powered by a mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 615
SoC, with one cluster of Cortex-A53 cores working at 1.0 GHz and the other
ticking at 1.5 GHz.The device is driven by 2GB of RAM, onboard storage can be
either 16GB or 32GB and there is also a memory expansion slot. The memory
expansion slot is shared with the second SIM slot so you can't get both
dual-SIM and microSD at the same time, though.
The camera setup consists of a 16MP main shooter, which,
according to previous rumors is not identical to the one in the S6
and S6 edge and has a reduced pixel size of 1.0 µm to conserve space. It still
has OIS and a bright f/1.9 aperture.The selfie unit is powered by 5MP shooter.
As Expected, the Samsung Galaxy offers 4G LTE, dual-band
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1, GPS with Glonass and Beidou support, as well as NFC.
Another high-end feature present in the Galaxy A8 is a
fingerprint reader, just like the flagship models. The unit is powered by a
3,050 mAh battery and Samsung promises 304 hours of standby time. As far as we
currently know, color options include white, black and gold.
