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.
