Samsung does not want to leave any part of the market without models with which to persuade customers, so it has introduced the new Samsung Galaxy A8 2016 , being the second most powerful model of the Samsung A series (after the A9 Pro) .

In this series A the metallic body of the device is still maintained , to give this possibility in a medium range. The most surprising thing is that they have included the Exynos 7420 processor , which we remember, was the one that equipped the Samsung Galaxy S6. There are many who feel that this Samsung Galaxy A8 will be a rehash of the Galaxy S6 with advertising campaign included to achieve sales among the mid-range.

One bad news about this model is that in theory it will not reach Spanish stores or the European market . But the Samsung Galaxy A8 also makes its own characteristics of other models, for example the "Always-On-Display" mode of the Samsung Galaxy S7, which shows some information constantly on the screen (for example the time, date, etc. ).

Regarding technical specifications of Samsung Galaxy A8 (2016) we have the following:

• It equips a battery with a capacity of 3500 mAh non-removable.
• It equips an eight-core Exynos 7420 processor (the same one that equipped the Galaxy S6).
• Super AMOLED screen of 5.7 inches Full HD with a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.
• RAM memory: 3GB .
• Internal storage: 32GB .
• Operating system: Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow .
• 16MP main camera with LED flash and 8MP front camera .
• Extras: fingerprint reader , WiFi, GPS with GLONASS and NFC.

A negative point is that they launch it with support for microUSB v2.0 and not for USB Type C. We do not know the price at the moment, but apparently if the price is content it can be a very competitive model in the middle range.
