Samsung Galaxy A8s features a large hole in its screen — and with it comes a THICC notification bar
Now, Samsung is probably planning to be different from the crowd of notched smartphones, but there really is no reason to do this. They have implemented their Infinity-O design in the Galaxy A8s which was just launched, but it actually seems neither necessary nor aesthetically pleasing.
The hole in the screen brings about a massive notification shade, looking almost as deep as the Essential Phone’s. I have gotten used to notches, and while I would love to see the trend fade away, Samsung probably should learn not to fix what isn’t broken.
Other than that, the Samsung Galaxy A8s looks the part of a pretty solid mid-range device. There’s a triple camera on the 3D glass back, and the whole device measures just 7.4mm thin. The following are the known specifications of the Samsung Galaxy A8s
- Snapdragon 710 chipset
- 6GB/8GB RAM
- 128GB storage
- 6.4″ Infinity-O LCD display, 91.56% screen-to-body ratio
- Triple rear camera: 24MP f/1.7 primary + 10MP f/2.4 telephoto + 5MP f/2.2 depth sensor
- 24MP f/2.0 selfie camera
- Samsung Experience 9.5 based on Android 8.1 Oreo
- 3400 mAh battery
There doesn’t seem to be any information regarding pricing as of yet, but what do you think of these specifications?
Pokdepinion: Seriously though, the hole was absolutely unnecessary.
