Price last checked: 4 Jul 2017. Confirm current price before buying.
Samsung Galaxy A8 price in Malaysia starts from RM1559, positioning it as a mid-range option built around a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED screen. That panel runs at 1080 x 1920 with roughly 386 ppi, sharp enough for text and video given the AMOLED contrast. Under the hood sits a Snapdragon 615 chipset with 2GB RAM and 32GB storage, expandable to 128GB via microSD; it's not a performance flagship, but it handles everyday apps and browsing fine.
The 16MP rear camera comes with an f/1.9 aperture and LED flash, paired with a 5MP front camera for selfies and video calls. A 3050 mAh battery keeps things running, and at just 5.9mm thick and 151g, the phone stays impressively slim for its screen size. It ships with Android 5.1 Lollipop and comes in Pearl White, Midnight Black, and Champagne Gold, plus the usual NFC, GPS, and dual-band Wi-Fi for connectivity.
