Next month, Samsung is expected to launch its new Galaxy Note 5 flagship, but today, the company quietly added another device to the upper end of its range. The new Galaxy A8 is technically a mid-range handset, but features some pretty decent specs - and it also happens to be the thinnest smartphone Samsung has ever released.


The Galaxy A8 is just 5.9mm thick, but still manages to squeeze in plenty of desirable features. Its key specs include:
5.7-inch Super AMOLED with Full HD (1920x1080px) resolution
Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 (MSM8939) processor
2GB RAM
16GB / 32GB storage options (plus microSD card support up to 128GB)
16MP rear camera
5MP front-facing camera
Bluetooth 4.1
NFC
Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n
3050mAh battery
Dual-SIM option
Fingerprint sensor
158 x 76.8 x 5.9mm; 151g

Its cool that they're making huge phones for people who want them, but what about people who don't? Once you add a case to a phone like this it probably barely fits in your pocket.

Pretty much the same phone I have... Just mine is about £500 cheaper!

Samsung really do own a phone photocopier huh.

Oh my gosh that thing is Beautiful.


I see myself getting one of those.

NotePosted:

I like good specs. Thin phones are a bonus.
The OnePlus Two (from what's revealed so far) is a beast compared to this.

Going to have to start making bigger pockets, the size of phones these days i remember when it was just a flip up smaller than your palm

VauxhallPosted:

Phones are getting bigger just why!!?

SkittlePosted:

I don't like the sizes that phones are becoming, the iPhone 6+ is the biggest I would ever go.

Looks awesome. Hope it comes in black or grey.
