Full Specifications & Features Of Samsung Galaxy A8 (2016)

The Samsung Galaxy A8 (2016) is powered by 1.5GHz octa-core Exynos 7420 processor and it comes with 3GB of RAM. The phone packs 32GB of internal storage that can be expanded up to 256GB via a microSD card. As far as the cameras are concerned, the Samsung Galaxy A8 (2016) packs a 16-megapixel primary camera on the rear and a 8-megapixel front shooter for selfies.

The Samsung Galaxy A8 (2016) runs Android 6.0.1. Beginning with the design, the most notable change seems to be the increased thickness, with the Galaxy A8 (2016) opting for a 7.2mm all-metal body. By comparison, the original Galaxy A8‘s 5.9mm profile made the phone the slimmest in Samsung’s handset portfolio, but the newer phone’s increased thickness allows Samsung to include a larger 3,300mAh battery than the 3,050mAh power pack found in the original.
