Samsung has announced the latest Galaxy A models: the A8 and A8 Plus. The A8 has a 5.6-inch AMOLED display, while the A8 Plus is the same but larger, at six inches. Both new devices feature a 16MP and 8MP F/1.9 dual front camera, a 16MP F/1.7 rear camera, an infinity display, a display ratio of 18.5:9, and 32GB or 64GB storage that’s expandable up to 256GB with a microSD card. The A8 comes with 4GB of RAM, while the A8 Plus comes with both 4GB or 6GB of RAM. It’s also dust and water resistance and compatible with Samsung Pay. The devices are the first in Samsung’s A series to support Gear VR.
It’s interesting to note that the dual camera is placed at the front rather than the back like the Galaxy Note 8. Samsung says users can switch...
