Samsung Galaxy A8 Duos - User Reviews

  • My galaxy a8 duos sm-a800i has been in use for 3 years and a month. Bought it in September 2016 and used as my daily driver until August 2018 when I switch to an Honor 10. I faced battery issues that is almost exactly identical as everyone else. In the past, it would turn off at 30%+ battery and sometimes 40%. Today however, it would turn off at 60-70% battery and overheat too. I measured ~50 mins of screen on time with GSam battery monitor. The phone was used only for light tasks like internet browsing and YouTube. So for anyone asking, I don't think its a good idea to replace the battery to prolong the phone's life, this is possibly a case of design flaw. Making a phone too thin comes with its consequences which, for us, is battery life. If possible just get a new phone. A phone with a Snapdragon 660 is relatively cheap nowadays and has both better performance and power efficiency than the 28nm chipset of this phone. Thats just my personal advice, you should decide yourself if its plausible to change the battery

  • my one also same , battery problem

  • My Galaxy A8 Duos always overheat even when no app is running on the phone. And the battery runs down quickly. when it gets to 40/50% it trips off the phone.If i plug in the charger it shows 0%. Wants to know if changing the battery will solve the overheating problem,the discharging fast problem, and also the tripping off problem? Please your advice and suggestions are urgently needed!!!! OR do i just go form a new phone than spending money buying a new battery. Anyone that has encountered similar situations should give advice and solutions of how he/her solved the problem. THANKS

  • my battery is dead hahaha

  • Hi I think you need to replace your battery your battery is dead !!!

  • I have the same problem as well is there any way to solve it.

  • Its 5V/2A charging, but not considered fast charging.

  • We have the same exact problem :( The battery will start to drop randomly and rapidly once below 30 and shut down unexpectedly. Sometimes, the phone might off itself even at 40+% and shows 0% when plugged in. Other times it powers off at 10% but shows 60+% when plugged in. That 60+% don't last that long though

  • i have galaxy A8 (2015) SM-A8000 with android version 5.1.1, how to upgrade to newer versions

  • Mine does not have 6.0 update yet, a8000 still on 5.1.1

  • What about Samsung Sm8000-A8? It's made for China market.

  • Anyways just updated to mm 6.0.1 and it's seems that all my problems are over. Phone now runs smoothly

  • Your device is probably fake or network problems...

  • Heating like nobody's business android version 5.1.1 Any solution?

  • Fast charging?

  • Is a8000 version going to get 6.0 update or not?

  • Please does your a8 come with google play store?

  • Does someone know when marshmallow will be available for a800iz?

  • Everything about the phone has been beyond my expectations except the sound. It's quite quiet and not the best sound quality. Maybe I've been spoilt by my top of the range Nokias?

  • any os update here in philippines?.please help. thank you.

  • Received an update for my samsung A8((SM-A800F) which weighs 294.70MB

  • is video Calling allowed in this device?

  • I've had this phone for over 6 months now and yes i do agree that there are a few links regarding the battery and the speed, but if you open your developer options and customize your phone from there both issues will be solved, my phone lasts me at least 16 hours with using all the applications except games, and say about 5 hours with heavy games like pirates ass sin's creed. This phone is water resistant but only a few raindrops here and there if exposed to anything more than that, then you will damage your phone. I would not advise anyone to expose their phone to any form/quantity of water, because its a phone, not a fish.

  • no

  • Not a good phone. Gonna be excited at first because of how smooth it is but after 4 months, some lags started to show up and upon reaching the 10th month, it start getting even lagger and batter drains fast. After i updated to android marshmallow, it got even worse as even normal switching tabs takes a long while. Not advised to buy this phone.

  • can anyone tell me pls asap..is this phone water resistance?

  • I'm facing the same battery issue,it drains out very fast

  • I am facing a similar problem, although I still need to fully check the performance of the battery as I have just purchased the phone.

  • Dont know till how many days to wait for Marshmallow

  • can you try heavy games on galaxy a8 because i m interested in buying this phone for gaming but i had seen in online videos that there is framedrops in heavy games.

  • upgrade Marshmallow?? Android version 6... in Samsung A8??

  • Is Samsung upgrade Galaxy a8 in Android M or not?

  • I think the octa-core version handles graphically intensive games smoother than the snapdragon version

  • No

  • I am using this device and it has good battery backup but it is non removable

  • yes

  • yes, it supports OTG with very fast response....

  • I have purchased this phone 3month before. good things.. it have best display, battery backup, headphones, sound setting, sensors, looks, metal body, and all software features are the best. bad things i founded are.. 1.external keys(volume & unlock)are not smooth enough. 2. its sharp metal edge is extremely brittle which can damage by your nail also so you need to always cover-up your phone to save that sharp edge. 3. fingerprint sensor is not good sensitive every time i need to scan my finger 2-3 times to unlock the phone. also it required to cover whole home button by finger.It means you need approx. 3 to 4 sec to unlock sometime, where as my friends china phone get unlocks in 0.3 sec. 4. & yes, rear CAMERA 16MP but i think it can't chase the 8MP of old samsung phone. but still i am satisfied with the good things it have. Thats it.

  • Yes it does

  • Does A8 supports otg?

  • does it support hdmi or dlna?

  • To all users - your Samsung a8- 800F, 800Y, 800I, whatever the processor it has - the mobile heats during heaving games play it is normal no matter what smartphone that you buy as great as it is or even with best processor it will always heat with heavy web browsing intensives games video streaming just because it is a smartphone if laptop or desktop PC heats even with cooling fan why not a smartphone. This is natural.. But This model is the best one. I have Samsung A8 - A800I, I just love. Kindly avoid heavy games for starting 2 months when the mobile is new.

  • My Dear friend, I purchased Samsung A8 A800I in Qatar, different country is getting different chipset and different processor. My Battery life is good. its coming 1 and half day. Before i sleep i make my battery charging 100% when i wake up in the morning its consuming only 1% remaining 99% is for rest of the day. I dont know from where did you purchased your mobile. Till now there is no issues with my Battery for A8 - A800I.

  • Im using galaxy a800i which is exynos 5433 chipset... im worried that im nt getting a single day battery life Pls tell me what should i do

  • Be happy you have A800i with exynos chipset. Snapdragon 615 MSM8939 chipset has overheating issues and it also got horrible reviews anyway. A new lithium ion battery requires multiple charge cycles to to reach its optimum level. Which is when you should get more hours from a single charge given that you use your device wisely enough. So fret not!

  • Im using galaxy a800i which is exynos 5433 chipset... im worried that im nt getting a single day battery life

Display - excellent Battery - Super Fast RAM - it could have been better if its 3 GB Processor - Exynos octa 5433 Camera - Good 5,7 inch screen - its difficult for pocket Sound - good Disadvantages- Some apps are continuously running even after you use smart manager. RAM should be 3 GB. Hanging - some app open bit late may be around 15 - 20 seconds But Overall good mobile. Cheap and Best. Dear Users.

  • I need help my Samsung galaxy a8 lose network at times. what could be the cause?

  • i have the same problem but not all the time...is it a soft ware issue or what do you think?

  • Hello. You need to confirm with Samsung store near your place which model use Exynos because I heard that different country use different chipset. I'm using model A800F which are Exynos version. Does this phone lag ? I already own the phone about 2 weeks but use it for only 6-7 days like that. The phone in normal operation (browsing,video) is smooth and feels great but there is some small stutters if browsing heavy websites with lot of ads. Good buy or not ? Only you can answer it. What you want in a phone ? Ask yourself and decides properly. Here is my honest score for this phone Display : 8.5/10 (I'm not a fan of AMOLED honestly. Display is amazing but I prefer IPS) Design : 10/10 (That slimness doe ! The feel of the phone is also nice and premium) Performance : 8/10 (No 10/10 because 2 GB RAM) Battery : 10/10 (Wow.) Camera : 7.5/10 (I want to give 8.5 but it need to take really steady hand to take good picture. Don't know if I get bad unit of camera or what but sometimes it frustrating. Quality is good but not S6 level.) Speaker : 5/10 (Meh.) Fingerprint sensor : 8/10 (Sometimes it doesnt recognise my finger at all. Bit annoying but when it works it really fastttt) Also charging from 0-100 takes 2H30M.

  • This phone has network issue. The network disappeared like every two to three minutes of browsing, making or receiving calls. On both Sims.

  • I am Thinkig I was buy This Phone

  • Hello sir. I'm using A800F and it using Exynos chipset. I heard that A800F are using Snapdragon chipset in China and Hong Kong only ( I don't know if this is true or not ). I suggest you go check at shop near your place to confirm whether it is Snapdragon or Exynos

  • does the second sim card slot of this phone also support 4G or just 2G only?

  • A800Y

  • Had this phone for 3 months... as usual month 1 and 2 the phone was ok until it started disconnecting itself during calls after every 50 secs. very annoying even despite an update and has never fallen. Samsung is absolutely garbage. Phone not meeting its primary essence.

  • somebody please help me which version is exynos A800F or A800Y ?

  • Sir. You can google about those 2 CPU. I can say that Exynos is better than Snapdragon 615 in term of performance and less heat than snapdragon. The advantage for 615 as I know is only 64 bit. Exynos cpu also reportedly giving better battery life than snapdragon version of A8 ( Not saying this is true 100% ) Sorry if I write anything wrong. Please correct me for those who knows better.

  • hello.please cpu exynus1800hz& 32bit or snapdragon1500hz&64bit better?

  • wherefrom did u get the marshmallow update ? It isn't official yet...

  • Exynos

  • Better

  • Download vlc or mx player for .mkv support.

  • If you have your power saving mode on, those haptic feedback light will not blink.

  • final answer guys!!A8 or note 4?or any better then this two?

  • Hello Using A8 since last couple of weeks and must say thay i am surprised to see how much improvment Sammy has brought to its Mid range phones keeping in view that i am a very heavy user of mobile phone and utilize it not only as media device but also for using emails and social media... **Yes thats true there is no hanging what so ever while using this device user experience is smooth. **Display is very nice with bright and vivid colors.to be honest i was not expecting these results but its full HD at 386ppi and super Amoled technology can reproduces very good results. **Using two sims and works perfectly well.. **Good decent results for both cameras.. **Finger print sensor is smooth in operation and unlocks phone with single touch.. **Battery life is decent and with my usage it last almost a day. ** Build quality is very good and really like the slim profile(5.9mm)... **Themes are available and gives device totally new feel and look. **Call quality is superb ** Overall its a good device and i can reccomend this to others who are looking for a decent device in this price range. If you turn on power saving mode, than i think this will switch off haptic feedback as well.. Thanks

  • A8. You will get superb battery life for nonstop gaming. I am a gamer too. It can get 6-8 hours of nonstop gaming.

  • You can play 6-8 hours of COC a day with single charge.

  • samsung is very worst phone so don't buy this brand guys...

  • May be your phone is a faulty one. In regarding battery life, this phone is one of the best performers. I consistantly get 5:30hours-9:30hours screen on time depending on my usage. My phone is exynos version(A800F).

  • Aside from the rear camera, what else are the differences of Samsung a7 and a8? Which is better? Planning to buy a new phone..

  • Bro .. where I live the A8 is 120$ cheaper than the Note .. Get a Note 4 if they have the same price .. faster chipset more ram better screen s-pen .. the upside the A8 has over the Note is that it's much thinner and better looking and has the awesome "themes" .. the Note 4 is also good looking .. I would go for the Note if they have similar price tags .. I've had a Note 4 now i have a Note 5 .. the Note 4 is a legend. it's a Note, and Notes are beasts ..

  • really? i play clash of clans frequently. so this phone is not good for that?

  • Hi. i jst got my A8. Would like to ask if the back key and recent apps key do light up. Mine does not. I jst have un update. Then i realize it doesnt lit up and d haptic feedback is gone

  • Hi Guys , Please advise as i am planing to upgrade my Note 2 with a new mobile , i am confuised between NOTE4 OR A8 .. Please advise as they are almost the same range in price

  • The only thing I don't like about this phone is the battery. You literally have to do all the tricks to save power. In effect you have to sacrifice a lot of good features that this phone offers. It is also not a good phone for gaming since battery drains too quickly. I was playing plants vs. zombies2 on this phone and after just 40 mins. I already lost 30% of the battery life and the phone heated up. Seems like the brightness of the screen plays a big factor when consuming battery. I have to set it on the lowest possible level to save power and just turn it up if I need to read something over the net. I also noticed that using two sim cards on this phone compared to one drains the battery more quickly. If it had a better battery performance this phone would have been perfect for me.

  • Incraduble smart phone amazing in everything sooooo excellent i have golden color ..so pretty so proud .^^

  • Friends...so far pone is good but it does not play .mkv format ------- 1.No play of .mkv format video 2.using too much RAM --Always shows 70%used&450MB free +++++ 1.Good Battery backup as compare to other smart phone. 2.Call recorder working fine. 3.dual call active 4.Camra Quality is good

  • Hi guys, next month i have plan to buy a new phone. Im confuse in choosing between lenovo vibe shot and samsung galaxy a8.

Between those two. If you could, give the reason too. Thank you very much before, and sorry for my bad english.

  • Thanks

  • Try holding down Back button. It will replicate the hardware Menu button or you can just enable Assistant Menu which functions just like Assistive touch on IOS. You can enable this from Settings>Accessibility>Dexterity and Interaction>Assistant Menu

  • Looks like the Exynos version is much better even though its only 32-bit. Its a shame they disabled 4k shooting because that Crapdragon can't. Why use two different processors if they have huge gap in performance to begin with?

  • Samsung Galaxy A8 is one of the best device by Samsung. I am using it for last 2 months its awsome device and it is so elegant and beautiful device battery time is great it give 2 days working time. Must buy this awsome device.

  • i want to asked...what phone is the best right now...not interested with what phone brand...just need an opinions from you guys who i can say expert in this things...hehe

  • excellent ...after use i all expect to in phone so i really happy to buy thiz mobile

  • Exynos is better

  • I think you said here is menu button. This button is gone since android 4.4.

  • Which is best for battery life exynos or qualcomm???

  • gold is better...on season

  • I think this is a great phone, giving the user an optional 2 sims with 32gb internal memory...the external memory is no longer an issue in here but still there is an option for external memory user...great idea and flexibility...good one samsung...

  • I just got a gold A8. it looked as nice and slim as expected. the thing is does it has right click function as other Samsung phones (located at the bottom left next to home button) do cos I can't find it. it really bothers using it without the right click button:( anyone knows where it is? thanks in advance !!

  • i have the gold version of the galaxy a8 exonys and i am still quite happy with it. way better than my galaxy ace 3.

  • This looks like a great phone, BUT the microSD goes in the second SIM slot. If you buy this version of the A8 your clearly want to use two SIMs, does Samsung think that people with dual SIM requirement have no need for a memory card. A number of other manufactures that are adopting the tray design of SIM holder have imposed the same limitation on dual SIM users as Samsung have done here.

  • Black suits it best

  • I want to buy it with one the best colours I am not sure white or gold

  • i have both samsung a8 and samsung a6, in spite that s6 is more powerful but a8 is thinner and 5.7inch screen wonderful for reading, and video, i put my s6 actually in the drawer the time i decide finally which one to use.

  • For what phone should i go for it. samsung galaxy A8 (SM-A008)F or SONY XPERIA C5 ULTRA dual Diffrences of samsung a8 1. slim 5.9mm full metal body 2. 16 mp rear cemera 3. sonyc5ultra have 13 mp camera both front and back bt samsung A8 have only 5 mp front cemera 4. fingerprint sensor not in sony c5 ultra. 5. samsung A8 has good internal memory 32 gb with 2gb of ram .... although sony c5 ultra has only 16gb internal with 2gb ram. sony c5 dont have compass/magnetometre bt samsung galaxy a8 is having . samsung has hibrid slot only to comprmise between between sim 2 or to use memory card samsung having previos hanging problems that till now fixed ... problem is now found in new phones as samsung s5, samsung note 4 ,

  • There are two different version of A8, one is Exynos version and the other is Qualcomm version! Your A8 is a Exynos version, so the CPU combination is A15 and A7. Nothing wrong with your phone and GSM Arena.

  • Thank you Mr.Leo

  • No problems except occational lag.

  • Now corning have officialy confirmed that a8 have corning gorilla glass 4 protection

  • what is the problem in samsung galaxy a8 32gb black edition, any lag, blinking when charging or problem in display plz help, i want to buy a black version 32 gb galaxy a8 (A8000F), any problem in this version?

  • LG G4

  • A8 is not worth to stand in front of LG g4

  • hi guys! just wanna know which is better, A8 duo or LG G4? im choosing between these two phone a worth to buy. thnx!

  • A8 is 2 times better than J7. You should understand samsung naming scheme Note>S>A>E>J. J series is entry level phone. You'll get entry level spec and entry level build quality if you buy J7. Don't go for it.

  • Hey guys I am confused with Samsung J7 ad A8 can anyone suggest for which mobile shall I go

  • I think gsm arena is wrong. A800F is exynos version and it is faster than snapdragon version.

  • Performance is good but not great. If samsung equip 3GB ram it would be better. Battery life is amazing. It will last 2 full days with screen on time(SOT) 6:30-7:30 hours.

  • yes S5 duos , 2 sim cards and Micro Sd slot , supports 128 gb

  • only sim 1 recieves LTE , sim 2 is only phone , no data

  • In India, the Galaxy A8 is only launched with Exynos chipset with model A800F. look at the bottom it says" Made in India"

  • I have Samsung A800F But My Chipset is Exynos 5 Octa 5430 with GPU Mali-T628 MP6

  • Same doubt I have

  • go to camera open setting you can see the pixel from 2,4,6,8,10,12,13,14,16 then choose any one you like that all.

CPU-Z app shows processor as Exynos Octa 5430 with Quad A7 @1.3Ghz & Quad A15 @1.8 & Antutu app showing specs as 32bit A-15 8core only.

  • My Galaxy A8 duos has Exynos version and 32gb internal memory. I use first sim for mobile data and second sim for call. The internal storage is enough for me since I'm not heavy gaming or store video in the phone. This phone is a little bulkier but premium quality. If you use dual sim card but the Sd card is really important to you, the Galaxy S5 duos is a choice. But it was launch over one year ago and the update to next android version would be terminate. Think about it and make your choice.

  • There's an s5 Duos that also has dual SIM and can still accommodate SD card. This S5 duos and A8 duos cost the same amount in My Country Nigeria. Which would you choose in such a situation?

  • Galaxy A8 in Malaysia got Exynos 5430.

  • Similarity between Galaxy A8 and Galaxy S5 + 16 MP rear camera + can expandable memory ( The A8 using hybrid slot ) + Full HD and sAMOLED screen + Fingerprint scanner for more secure security + LTE connectivity Advantage Galaxy A8 over Galaxy S5 + Larger screen for better watching video, surfing internet (5.7 inch vs 5.1 inch) + 5 MP front camera for better selfie, wideselfie and video calling. + Dous version using dual sim card (but cannot use both dual sim and SDcard) + 32 gb internal storage + larger battery ( 3050mh vs 2800mh) + Latest android lollipop and latest touchwiz (same touchwiz on S6 and S6 edge) + The galaxy A8 Exynos version can play UHD or 4k video + Exynos 5430 score better performance compared Snapdragon 801 Advantage Galaxy S5 over Galaxy A8 + Small than Galaxy A8 would advantage when hold or put in the pocket. + Heart rate sensor + replaceable battery (useful when hanging problem) + water and dust proof + Infra red port ( for remote control ) + video recording can reach up to 4k or UHD + Price is lower since the Galaxy S5 was launch over one year ago. It's up to you.

  • Thanx 4 ur reply

  • I was wondering what they change in A8 since im an addicted fan of A7..

  • What is the processor used for the A8 in Malaysia? Snapdragon or Exynos?

  • If you are to choose between Galaxy A8 and Galaxy S5, which one would you go for?

  • You want to give the person A7 or you want to give the person A8?

  • Yeah. It is better than Xperia M5. I'm Sony fan but I can't deny that this phone is awesome and the battery life is amazing. Performance is top notch.

  • Exynos. Far better than Snapdragon. I don't want explain why but you can google to find the answer

  • Which is good Snapdragon or exynos version?

  • Hi, Be lucky to have this phone with exynos. The extnos variant is far better than the SD-615.Trust me, the snapdragon-615 is a processor that heats up a lot and also drains battery quickly. i earlier had Htc desire 826, horrible performance. A8 is best at what it offers !

  • Kindly let me know abt d battery life and performance of this phone. Is this better than xperia m5

  • Which is better one plus2,, moto x play or a8 plz help

  • i love iT!!!

  • microUSB v3.0

  • It has been heard from the users of this set that it has no stereo speakers. the second thing is that if we use this abrod Pakistan it can work or not ie if we use this set in KSA (Saudi Arabia)would this set work there or not because it has come to my knowledge that it is necessary that 10/15 minutes calls are necessary to use it in that country. I request my dear friends that kindly give detailed remarks according to their experience.thanks.

  • mine is exynos version and has terrible crackling sound when playing mp3

  • Hi everyone, Does it support smart remote? any advice Thanks,

  • i didn't know tht it has lpddr4 ram.......because reviewer showed lpddr3......so why nova 3 didn't show motion blur effect and why asphalt 8 lags some time......for optimization or some else ? i heard exynos varient has OIS....is it true ? reply me anyone.....

  • we want same features with 4.7 inches screen, battery 3500 mah,notification light.

  • I talked to someone from Samsung Netherlands (chat).. It's not going to be released in Netherlands she said :-( PS: Be careful if you are going to order from India: I was watching a youtube review yesterday from a guy in India. On the box it said 'Indian SIM cards only', and the guy said you can only use it abroad AFTER you used an Indian SIM card in the phone for 10-15 minutes call.

  • The Samsung A8 Exynos version also available in Southeast Asia region, UAE and South Korea. For Europe region, no conformation so far about release date Samsung A8.

  • Dear all, do you know if this awesome phone will also be released in Europe and when? Is the Exynos version only available in India or it can be found in other countries too? Thank you in advance!

  • It's an awesome phone I ever used... no doubt go for i

  • whis is best 4 buy...... note 4 or this.......a8(exynos)

  • Bad for no notification light. I can't check my phone at a glance.😕😕😕&a­mp;#128533;😕😕&#12853­3;😕😕😕

  • Very disappointed due to lack of notification light,you cannot check your phone at a glance...😕😕😕­

  • samsung should try something different models... from low range to high range all models look similar..which makes customers boring...

  • According to the opinions of the users of this set there are 2 or 3 defficiencies in this set. 1.Most important drawback is notification light.A high priced set but no notification light. 2.No cardslot.There must have a cord slot separately not in the slot no.2 as a cord slot. 3.Non removeable battry.There should hae remove able battry so that if one battry bacame out of order then the second should have been removed easily.

  • awesome but card slot will be provede extra slot

  • This device is very good..suparb specifications Fingerprint r aweresome

  • Everything else is just fine with this phone.. just lacks 2 of the main features which a young person requires these days 1-Secondary Camera Flash 2-Inability to Use 2nd SIM & Micro SD Card at same time

  • best price and very good mobile phone friends......dont miss thanku....

  • non removeble battery means

  • No NFC but Display,slim is very good

  • every time they forget. lol...

  • this is Samsung like thing.. superb u r a master of android

  • I'm surprised of samsung mindset. They make a nice phone but don't put a simple led notification light!!! Is it that hard for them?

  • i didn't know tht it has lpddr4 ram.......because reviewer showed lpddr3......so why nova 3 didn't show motion blur effect and why asphalt 8 lags some time......for optimization or some else ? i heard exynos varient has OIS....is it true ? reply me anyone.....

  • this phone is sim problem and memory issue.
