Samsung Galaxy A8 Unboxing And Hands On Review By Intellect Digest

Hey guys, what's up I'm with my friends like I, just and in this video we are going to unbox the India retail unit of the Samsung Galaxy a8, which is the latest a series phone from Samsung and comes with an improved design and some extra features over the Samsung Galaxy j7. It's a 4G, compatible phone comes with an agency NAS on top of CPU has 5.7 inch. Full high-definition display is 16, plus 5 megapixel camera, plus a fingerprint scanner, which was not, as we have seen on these Samsung Galaxy S series. So this is something new, a little box. This show you what, or it comes with I will give you hands-on review and talk about the features, and I'm gonna. Give you some quick captures with the camera as well.

So listen! So, let's first take this phone out of the box and show you what is there inside? This is a gold color unit. This is an India ETL unit and is also made in India interesting little sticker says that it is made in an oil facility of Samson, and it really says Indian SIM card only. You have to activate it using a new SIM card. Only after that, you can put any international SIM as well. If you want.

So this is the box very simplistic, blue colored, a series box by Samsung and the first thing in the Box is the Samsung Galaxy 8, and it looks very, very similar to the Alpha that we have seen its metallic. Very golden color also comes with fingerprint sensor, but it's a large screen phone, a 5.7 inch, Super AMOLED, full high-definition display and the phone looks really beautiful. There is a physical HOME key, which also doubles up as a fingerprint sensor. There are two touch: capacitive buttons on the either side power of a cup key on the right hand, side. This is all the metal finish, and it looks very nice.

This is an unibody phone. Look back, does not come off the chambered on top there's secondary microphone holes. These antenna bands, which you can see here on the other side, there are two discreet buttons. These are for volume, rockers and there are two trays over here. So let me quickly pop them open and show you what's inside.

So the top 3 here is a sim 2 / micros card, so you can put a NATO SIM or micro SD card in this one. So it's an optional dual sim hybrid phone, where you can put a micro SD card or a NATO SIM, and the sim 1 slot is a NATO SIM slot which accepts your SIM card. It is a 32gb internal memory phone, and you can expand the memory if you want by adding a micro SD card, or you can put a second SIM cards, either a dual sim or expandable memory option for you. So there are a Quick-start guides which have been boiled and these are standard documentation for SD manuals, etc. Apart from that, these are the extra ear cushions for the ear phones, and these are the earphones which are in the ear types by Samsung.

These are not flat, cable, anti-tangle, but the standard earphones, and they are very good in quality. We have seen these earphones before, and they are very good. The headset comes with a button to accept, reject all, as well as a volume rocker key, and there is a 3.5 mm standard tip which is gold-plated, so these are pretty high quality earphones. There is a mobile charger, which is 2 ampere chargers. This is a fast charger visit, but this is not adaptive fast charging and a standard data, cable and removal tool.

That's all in the box. Let me quickly get rid of everything and get back to the phone. We are back after setting up the phone and quickly running some tests on this and first thing that I want to show you is that how the fingerprint scanner works? You just place your finger on top of this home button, and it unlocks to set up the fingerprint scanner you have to go to setting and add your fingers. You can have multiple fingers up to 5 fingers. So if you want to unlock, with the other hand, some or with index finger when the phone is lying flat, you can do that.

You can also configure fingerprint scanner for payments and other options that are allowed by some applications in terms of display. This is the 5.7 inch full high-definition Super AMOLED display, which looks very sharp. So this is how it looks and just to give you an idea of how good the display, then just want to play back a quick video to show you how good it is when it comes to video playback, the display quality, clarity, viewing angles and color production is very natural, and I really like the display. The audio quality here is also fairly good. Let me play back a music track for you and turn the volume to maximum so that you can hear the audio for yourself.

The speakers are provided on the rear. Next for the camera modules. If I place my finger on top of it, it should get smoked further, it's very loud, but let's see what happens when I flash on the tabletop this. It also gets slightly muffled. But since the camera is slightly procuring from the surface, so it does not get completely buffer and the audio is still audible and is fairly loud.

I can again unlock the phone by putting my finger here and that's how easy unlocking this phone is. After audio and video quality, let's also have a look at the camera quality. The camera interface is very similar to that we have seen in the Samsung Galaxy S6 and in terms of software. It is also very close to what we have on the s6. It's a lollipop.

The camera is also fairly loaded here. It's a 5 megapixel front facing camera last 16 megapixel rear shooter, which is again very similar to what we get on the galaxy. S6 flagship I've also taken some picture before starting this video, and this is how the pictures come out. They are super sharp. The image processing is sharpening the images, and this is a front-facing camera selfie with the 5 megapixel camera is fairly wide, and you can have a large group of people in the selfie, or you can develop V easily.

The camera shots are coming out nice and there is also a book effect. I put the box of the phone in the background, and it is nicely blurred, whereas the front objects are nicely focused. The quality as well as the color production is also very natural. This is the real object. This is the object on screen, and you can see how close they are in terms of color quality.

It's very, very accurate when it comes to color production and is taking very sharp images as well. So I am impressed with the way camera is performing. It can also shoot high definition. Videos. Let me show you the resolution that it supports.

So in video here you can select full HD, HD and VGA and in terms of pictures you can select 16 megapixel 12 megapixels, and there is also quick launch feature which has been provided where you can just double tap on the home key, and it will open the back camera, and you are ready to take pictures in no time, it's very, very fast way of taking pictures, and it can also focus on objects which are very close in terms of distance and is taking very, very sharp captures the overall camera experience on this phone is very impressive. Now let me talk about the performance and benchmarks we ran and go to, and we got a score of around 40, 5695, 45 or 46 thousand score. That's fairly high. It comes loaded with 2gb ram, it's with an outscore CPU with 4 cores of 1.8 yards and 4 cores of 1.3. You got itself 32 bit.

CPU has enjoyed lollipop 5.1.1 running on top of it, and it runs the Touch ID UI on top of that by Samsung, which kind of makes it slightly sluggish, I would say, because I don't find the experience very. Very smooth here, besides being a very loaded phone, there is slight stutter that I can observe in the interface, but that's not very bad. It's not deal breaking, but there is a slight amount of lag that I also with a large screen. You can also do multitasking, and it supports advanced multitasking, for example, say for a browser window or an email window. I can also do flying window.

Multitasking I can have windows of different applications floating at all on the interface I. Just have to swipe like this, and it converts it into a flying window and I can place them anywhere. I can also minimize them to icons if I want and that's a very, very cool way and very easy way of having applications floating around and switching applications. It also supports split-screen multitasking, whereas I can have one application running in one half of the screen and another application running in another half. So I just need to tap here for multi window and I have to select the second application say: I select this browser window, so I have email running on the top half and browser running in the bottom.

Half I can resize on need basis, so it supports advanced level of multitasking, it supports features or software level that are close to flagships like the Samsung Galaxy S6, and it's very neat and nicely implemented when it comes to gaming performance. This one performs fairly good, it's not the smoothest ever, but the colors are popping out and the accuracy of such as fossil, very good. There is slight stuttering here as well, but with the large screen experience, it's really pleasant to play this game talking a bit more about specs. It has 2gb of RAM and 32gb of internal memory, and you can add more memory by adding a micro SD card to it, and it also supports moving applications to SD card. Let me quickly show you: the storage settings I have installed some applications out of the box.

It was available with the around 25 GB of storage and the option of moving applications to SD card, and also there is an option to add a USB, OTG, pen drive and watch movies, etc. , directly from a pen drive as soon as I connected it is easily detected, and it will launch the file browser and chose the external USB OTG drive, and there is also a shortcut created to safely remove the pen drive to move applications to SD card. All you need to do is just go into settings and locate the application settings and go to application manager in application manager. You just select the application in which you want to move to SD card and hit the button which says move to SD card, which is also very, very convenient way. So Samsung has kept the UI very easy, intuitive and clean, and the phone is very easy to operate in that ways.

The internet browsing experience is also good. There is a large screen that is also full high-definition, so it does give you a good legibility. You may notice a slight stutter in scrolling through the browser window and that probably because of the load on the GPU, because there is a full high-definition display to run, and this phone is with a large screen display and GPU may not be well-equipped to handle this talking about the battery. There is a three thousand-plus medium battery here, which is good for this large screen device, but I can't comment too much on the battery life as yet, because we have not tested it for some time right now we have just unboxed it I test it for a day or two and cop with a battery test in our detail, review so make sure you stay tuned by pressing the red subscribe button.
