While its siblings were well leaked previously, the
Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) is now in rumours as the top-end model in the new
Galaxy A family. The front panel of the unannounced Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018)
has been spotted in few renders that suggest its minimal bezels as well as two
camera sensors on the front to capture compelling selfies.
The leaked front panel, courtesy GizChina, shows two
circular cutouts that point to a dual-selfie camera setup on the Galaxy A8
(2018). Interestingly, companies like Asus and Lenovo opted for two
front-facing camera sensors in the recent past, but Samsung hasn't yet brought
any such hardware tweak. The South Korean company did unveil the Galaxy Note 8
(review) with a dual rear camera setup earlier this year and brought the Galaxy
J+ as an affordable dual-camera smartphone back in September.
In addition to the dual selfie camera, the leaked
panel of the Galaxy A8 (2018) apparently suggests thin bezels on the left and
right of its display. The panel doesn't look curved, unlike some of the recent
bezel-less smartphones. However, the actual shape of the frontal view would be
visible only on the handset - not through the surfaced glass panel.
Earlier this month, the Galaxy A5 (2018) and the
Galaxy A7 (2018) received Wi-Fi and FCC certification. Samsung also revealed
the existence of both the new Galaxy A series smartphones through its official
support pages. If we believe the details provided by the Wi-Fi Alliance, the
Galaxy A5 (2018) and the Galaxy A7 (2018) both will run Android 7.1 Nougat and
have dual-band Wi-Fi support.
Some case renders of the Galaxy A5 (2018) had
emerged last week that showed a thin-bezel display and a rear-facing
fingerprint sensor on the new smartphone. Recent reports suggested that the
Galaxy A5 (2018) will come with a 5.5-inch full HD+ display and include an
Exynos 7885 chip, paired with 4GB RAM.
