Samsung Galaxy A8 (2016) || Full Specification
The Galaxy A8 is the biggest of the A series with a 5.7″ Super AMOLED screen like the last three Notes. It only has a 1080p resolution though, like the Note 3, so it’s not as superbly crisp as the Note5 but not bad either at 386ppi (close to the iPhone 6 Plus 5.5″ 1080p display).
Like the Galaxy Note5, the A8 has a metal frame, but it’s lighter and thinner. At only 5.9mm thick it limbos lower than any other Galaxy yet and even most other phones on the market. Surprisingly, this didn’t come at the expense of battery capacity – the Galaxy A8 actually tops the Note5 in this category.
The good news keeps rolling in when we get to the camera too. A 16MP shooter adorns the back with an f/1.9 aperture (sound familiar?). For selfies there’s a 5MP f/1.9 camera. What’s missing compared to the Note5’s camera is OIS and 2160p video capture.
