QUOTE(Prissy Elf @ Jan 24 2018, 10:48 AM) 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.  I will get the note FE.

I also like the looks of the S8, but I don't think it'll fall into the price range of the A8/Note FE now.. at least not until early next year..

Just some people complain it's a bit overpriced for a midrange specs

Just some people complain it's a bit overpriced for a midrange specs I just placed an order on Lazada for A8+. I love the front cam more than the one I have on S8 (and I barely use back cam). And it has all the things I love about S8 (fingerprint, face recognition, waterproof, Samsung Pay and NFC). Too bad no wireless charging, and my fav nanosuction anti gravity case is not available for A8+, but I can live without those. This post has been edited by emino: Feb 10 2018, 05:44 PM

One of the main reason I change from S8 is because the screen goes side by side I always takut jatuh and pecah (I super clumsy one). Focus wise, I dunno. I test mostly front cam and back cam only test macro shots. Macam acceptable je takdelah slow sangat.

But personally, I use credit cards rather than debit cards.. Can get both cash back or Points from bank, and also Samsung reward points.
