In a serious marketing maneuver to tackle mobile market dominance from the huge market in China, Samsung released the new Galaxy A8, a great improvement on the earlier Galaxy A3, Galaxy A5, and Galaxy A7.

The Galaxy A8 is sleek and strudy with a metal casing which is beautifully designed to prove a delight to all users. The Galaxy A8 has a 5.5-inch display, but the new Galaxy A8 comes with a slightly larger 5.7-inch display. It operates on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 CPUor Exynos 5 Octa system chip, and the Adreno 405 GPU.

The mobile device comes loaded with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of memory which could be expanded to 32GB. The Galaxy A8 has a 16MP camera and a 3050mAh battery that promised to sustain all you'd do before the next recharge. The smartphone works on HSPA, HSUPA, UMTS, EDGE, GPRS, and NFC networks. It has a Wi-Fi 802.11 and Bluetooth 4.1 to meet your basic connectivity needs.

This smartphone weighs only 151g and measures 76.8 mm wide and 158mm tall.

You can use the Galaxy A8 outdoors since it has a screen brightness of 339 nits, lesser than Galaxy S6's 560 nits. At night and in dark places, the screen brightness drops to 1 nit to make it easy on the eyes while using the device.

If you're buying the Samsung Galaxy A8 2015, you can look forward to finding a decent alternative to the Korean tech giant's flagship models.
