avoid nova2i

play friend nove 2i for awhile, screen so wash out, he said the battery is not great

if huawei is a must get honor 7x, its basically a cheaper nova 2i without dual selfie camera

i would choose a8 over nova 2i

yes, i am recommending this too.. but so many ppl thinking it's not worth it makes me doubt my recommendation

thanks guys, with the original price tag i dont see its worth to get S8 from S7e but when i look at the A8+ original price i was thinking not bad, but yeah i forgot S8 already depreciated. ill just wait end of feb then for the S9 announcement. Then come another dilemma on whether to get cheaper S8 or the newer S9 haha

There's always this dilemma. haha! Honestly the technology is moving so fast, it's hard to catch up unless you have lotsa cash to burn. If you can afford it, just whatever's the best and latest at the point of time when you are looking for new phones. And whatever that feels good in your hands.

Get the old s8, den next year Feb, get the s9. Lol

The cycle is never ending.

Latest trend is AI.

s8 price going up on all online marketplace tho from the min of 2.2k/2.5k

a8 is 1.8k, online 1.7k.. still a rm500 savings for most people that dun play games.. that's how i see it la

From my POV, the strength of A8 is more towards their in-house features rather than spec sheet (bixby, s-pay, infinity display etc.). They also provide optional extended warranty (rm1xx extra of I'm not mistaken), which also a bonus too.

But I do feel FE is a better deal. You can get the best of both worlds (specs and features) for a little bit higher price.

Just played with a8/a8+ at the store.

Screen looks washed out. Dont know why. Very laggy. Some transitions take 1-2 seconds to load. Somehow doesnt feel polished .

Screen black borders look weird. Too thick for my liking. For me, its an overpriced phone for what its offering.

That's true. LOL

To the fore!

Agreed. Nothing last forever..phone will get obsolete with time.

my friend bought d... very happy with the Super AMOLED display

Between the A8+ and Note FE, which would you guys prefer?

I was looking for samsung phone yesterday and walk around at SenQ. Tried the A8 and Note FE. I wanted a phone with a decent Camera only!

A8, Sluggish rear camera, i thinking it doesnt have lens stabilizer, everytime i tried to shot on some movement picture, all those images come out blurry and abit exposure on lighting. Totally disappointing on the rear camera! Front camera was good for selfie no doubt. Price = Rm1,799

Note FE, rear camera is on par with Note8, same spec, just dont have auto-focus. Image color was rich! In the end, i picked Note FE over the A8. Paid Rm2199 and I'm a happy customer!

Thanks for the review I'm looking at the A8+ because of the 6" screen and 6GB RAM. LOL! But I read that video recording experience was not that great. My Note 2 recently keeps running low on memory and suffers memory leak. Have to reboot almost daily. Was happy when Note FE price dropped but then out came Galaxy A8+ So was torn between these 2 models.

hi, i have noticed that with store-display phones, usually blur is caused due to smudged lenses..

however, the note fe rear camera is definitely the superior camera.

i would pick note fe over a8+.. 4gb ram is usually good enough..

Thanks for your feedback

Does it work on metro pcs
