So far my rear cam shots are good, even in low light condition. To me lah, that is.

But i am not sure, is my a5 2016 got OIS or not? Lol! biggrin.gif

Since PJng mention A series 2016 do have OIS, then i think A8 not suit for you if rear camera your main priority. A8 rom is only 32GB, A8+ meet your requirement which is 64GB but it need RM2k+ and too big for you.
Worth or not depends on your usage. For me, A8 have majority Samsung flagship features such as, infinity display, ip68 water resistant, back glass design, dual front camera for selfie, and samsung pay. The only difference i think only cpu, rear camera and edge display. Since i am not heavy gamer and don't really take photo often, i am satisfied.

After S9 released, already few frens thought i am using S9 when they first look from back of my phone. rclxms.gif

i am also contemplating to buy A8 but i'm kinda put off with the lack rear camera OIS.

i also somewhat liking S8 but the screen is too big & too tall (5.8"). A8 is just 5.5" but i think that is kinda big but i can manage.

I am currently using A5 2016 and so far i liked the phone except that i am facing with shortage ROM. Now only left with 1gb out of 16GB sigh.

My requirement of a good smartphone:

size: not too big, not too tall. 6" really is too big. 4.7" - 5.0 is ideal.
ROM: 64GB is the sweet spot.
rear camera: excellent quality with OIS
battery life: must last at least 6-7 hours

so, A8 2018 worth the money?

A8 no OIS. A series never has OIS lah.

But their night photo not bad lah. Only front night photo can be slightly bad lah, but that's when you should on flash anyway.
