Samsung Galaxy A8 Plus 2018 - Pros & Cons

Battery life was good overall
performance is good
A8+ does very well indeed
The feature certainly works as advertised
Image quality is decent
nicely smooth and clean files
nice exposures and pleasant color
good battery life and is well built
The camera captures a decent amount of details in all lighting conditions
an eye-pleasing UI and equally easy to work with
The touch response is quite good and the corning gorilla glass provides adequate protection
good colour saturation
superb contrast ratios with decent sunlight legibility
a better image quality in both low and ample lighting conditions
The phone supports fast charging as well
details being preserved and colour reproduction is quite accurate

between texture and noise veers towards heavier noise reduction
a slight blue cast visible in outdoor images
score and contents below refer to an older Camera test protocol
no Bokeh mode to artificially blur the background on portraits
You cannot toggle focus distance or play with aperture settings
rather thick side bezels does stick out like a sore thumb
camera software has a tendency of over sharpening the image
the pro mode on the camera is also quite lackluster
lack of an OIS is also felt in low light images
low-light pictures are a problem
poor lighting it does struggle
bulky phone and prone to collecting smudges
the older OS is a big miss from Samsung
lack of the latest OS stands out in contrast to rivals like
Samsung too late to the party
digital stabilisation but not optical
a lot of artificial light falling directly on a subject
it looks really plain and monolithic
Camera quality is severely disappointing
attributable to the dual camera setup up front
odd stutter when navigating the interface
the phone is limited to India and South Korea
Overpriced and just as ugly as the Pixel 2XL
