Samsung releases Galaxy A8

September 9, 2015 by SPEdit Team

L(04_2015_Samsung)1Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. has unveiled the Galaxy A8—its newest addition to the Galaxy A family. Featuring a 5.7’’ Full HD Super AMOLED display, it is the slimmest galaxy smartphone at 5.9mm.

The Galaxy A8 has a premium design due to its full metal uni-body build and a cut metal frame. The bezel size has been reduced to 2.5mm, which lets users enjoy a nearly bezel-less visual experience.

The smartphone also comes with a wide variety of photography possibilities. It is equipped with a 16 MP camera and 5 MP front camera. Both have an f/1.9 lens allowing for brighter pictures even in low-light situations. The primary camera has a feature known as the ‘Face Detection Alarm’, which is great for clicking selfies with the rear camera. With GIF shooting modes and Auto selfie modes such as Palm and Voice selfie, users can capture different selfies in high resolution.

With the increasing popularity of the 4G revolution, the smartphone features a Category 6 LTE that gives quicker uplink/downlink speeds on 4G networks.

Powered by a ( 1.8/1.3) GHz Octa Core processor with 2GB RAM, users can multitask seamlessly. The smartphone has an in-built memory of 32GB, which is expandable to 128GB. Added to this is the 3050 mAh battery that does not drain quickly and offers enough power for a smooth experience. The security detail is in check due to a unique fingerprint scanner.

Asim Warsi, Vice President, Marketing, IT and Mobile, Samsung India said, “ We at Samsung look to continue our legacy of setting new standards for customer-centric innovation. We are really excited about the newest member of the Galaxy A family. Our insights have shown that design and camera are key factors for consumers in this price segment. The new Galaxy A8 marries  sleek design, powerful performance and enhanced imaging capabilities to bring a superior smartphone experience. The Galaxy A8 takes desirability and allure to the next level with its superior design coupled with impeccable functionality.”

Samsung’s Galaxy A8 has raised its portfolio of 4G LTE smartphones offering customers with an even amalgamation of connectivity and quicker downloads.

The Galaxy A8 can be purchased across all channels at Rs.32,500. It is available in White, Black and Gold.
