It is the new Samsung Galaxy A8, i.e. a phone of the upper middle class, which takes the best of the flagship models. The novelty thus boasts an ergonomic design, an Infinity display over almost the entire front, a fingerprint reader on the back and, above all, a dual front camera with Live Focus function.

“Newly launched phone Galaxy The A8 brings the features our customers have come to love from our flagship smartphones, such as the Infinity Display and the first dual front-facing camera with Live Focus, to the range Galaxy A, which is known for its refined design," said Roman Šebek, director of the mobile devices division of Samsung Electronics Czech and Slovak. "Apparatus Galaxy The A8 is an example of our continued effort to meet the needs of our customers through a wider offering and features that increase their convenience.”
While on the back there is a 16Mpx camera with an aperture of f/1,7, a 16Mpx+8Mpx dual camera with an aperture of f/1,9 stands out above the display, thanks to which it manages to take clear and sharp selfie photos. The dual front camera consists of two separate cameras that you can switch between to choose the selfie you want: from close-ups with a blurred background to portrait shots with a bright and sharp background. There is also the Live Focus function, which was only available on the flagship so far Galaxy Note8, and thanks to which you can easily change the blur effect before and after taking a picture, creating high-quality shots.
The camera can capture sharp images during the day and at night, even in low light conditions. The new devices also allow you to edit your photos in a fun way, for example by adding stickers to your selfies or highlighting culinary creations in Food Mode.
Shaky footage becomes a thing of the past thanks to Video Digital Image Stabilization (VDis) technology, and with the new hyperlapse feature, you can create time-lapse videos to record, tell and share much longer stories.
