Although many of us are eagerly awaiting to hear more about the iPhone 6S, Samsung recently launched its slimmest phone to date in rather quiet fashion. The Galaxy A8 features a full-metal body who’s width measures in at an impressive 5.9mm, when comparing it to its A7 predecessor’s 6.3mm thickness. The Korean tech giant’s latest mid-range model also boasts a 5.7-inch 1080p OLED display and a 16-megapixel rear camera, along with a 3,050mAh battery that’s larger than the Galaxy S6 model. Subtle tweaks like the inclusion of a fingerprint sensor and a hand-wave detection system that allows for easy self-timer photos have also enhanced user experience. Those interested in purchasing one will have to wait for the time being, as the Galaxy A8 is only available in China as of now.
