Verdict

Just a look at the pros of the phone and the very short list of cons. This phone has very high end specs and hardly any fault that can be found. That being said it will still have stiff competition against its rivals the Motorola Nexus 6 32GB and the HTC One E9+ as they bring to table much higher specs at a similar price point. The Samsung brand value is one of the reason why the Galaxy A8 costs more than it should but also don’t forget the metal body. In short if you want a phone at this price with the best and latest specs then go for the rivals but if you want a high end phone with a metal body in particular and a great track record then go Galaxy A8.
