Samsung Galaxy The A8 definitely has something to impress. Its main advantage is the front dual camera with a resolution of 16 Mpx and 8 Mpx and an aperture of f/1,9, thanks to which the phone manages to take clear and sharp selfies. You can switch between the two front cameras to choose the selfie you want: from close-ups with a blurred background to portrait shots with a bright and sharp background. Thanks to the advanced Live Focus function, you can easily change the blur effect before and after taking the picture to create high-quality shots.
Another big attraction Galaxy The A8 is a large Infinity display, which the novelty inherited from the flagship models, and for the first time even mid-range models are getting minimal bezels from Samsung. There is also support for the Always on Display function, resistance to water and dust, IP68 certification, and compatibility with virtual reality glasses. The phone also boasts two full SIM slots and one microSD card slot. The phone's storage capacity can thus be expanded by up to 256 GB.
