Samsung Galaxy A8s concept render
As the excitement surrounding Samsung’s Galaxy A8s continues to build, a
new leak today has confirmed that the smartphone’s next-generation design will arrive paired with a pretty impressive spec sheet.
Starting with arguably the most important detail of all, the mentioned leak lists the Galaxy A8s as Samsung’s first Snapdragon 710-powered smartphone. This upper-midrange processor will then be paired with a very respectable 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. However, if the latter figure isn’t enough, microSD cards of up to 512GB are set to be supported. Alongside these details, it’s claimed that a 3,400mAh battery will also be present, presumably coupled with
Android 9 Pie straight out of the box.
Joining all of this will be a new 6.39-inch
Infinity-O display that is paired with a glass and aluminum construction that measures in at 159.11 x 74.88mm and 7.38mm. This is shorter, slimmer, and thinner than the
Galaxy Note 9 (161.9 x 76.4 x 8.8 mm), despite the almost identical display sizes. On another external note, the rear will come equipped with a triple-camera layout consisting of 24, 10, and 5-megapixel sensors. Also, in regards to the selfie department, the display hole will be home to a 24-megapixel camera.
The
Samsung Galaxy A8s is on track for a release in January which could be preceded by an announcement in late December. Pricing and availability remain unclear at this point, but it’s claimed that the device will be available to purchase in a new black gradient color option.
