Samsung Galaxy A8 (Black)

Features

Full Metal Body
Style meets functionality in the shape of the new Galaxy A8. Get your hands on its ultra-slim full metal body for a truly exceptional grip.

Brighter, Clearer Images
Equipped with a 16 MP rear and 5MP front camera – both featuring f/1.9 aperture – the Galaxy A8 has all your photography and video needs covered. With the HDR function, you can capture brighter, clearer images even in low light conditions.

Long-lasting Battery
It may be ultra-slim, but the Galaxy A8 packs plenty of punch in the power department – its 3,050 mAh capacity battery offers you to enjoy a wide range of media contents – such as movies, music, games and more – for even longer.

Hybrid SIM Slot
Customise the way you use your phone with the Galaxy A8’s hybrid SIM slot, which lets you make use of a Nano USIM or a microSD card. Operate with two different phone numbers at once or add memory with a Micro SD card – the choice is yours!

Quick Camera Launch
Never miss out on another photo opportunity again. You can launch the Galaxy A8’s camera in just 0.9 seconds – or 1.7 seconds from sleep mode – by simply pressing the home button twice.

Fun Selfie Options
The Wide Selfie function gives you a huge 120° view and lets you get more people and landscape into your snaps – with the front camera.

Enhanced Security
Protect your private data with the Galaxy A8’s innovative touch sensor. A fingerprint scanner lets you enjoy safe and secure access to your most sensitive data needed for web log-ins, account verifications and payment-related pages.

Smart Manager
Stay up-to-date with a range of essential information on your device with the convenient Smart Manager app. Keep tabs on your battery usage, storage, RAM and anti-virus protection, and use the Quick Check function to optimise the way your Galaxy A8 works with a single touch.
