Recently, many rumors are circulating around the upcoming Galaxy A8 smartphone revealing almost all the details of smartphone. The latest report related to the device shows that Samsung might announce the Galaxy A8 in China on July 17 for a price tag of €439 (approx. $485).

The previous leaks suggest that the Galaxy A8 will boast of a 5.7 inch Full HD 1080p Super AMOLED display and equip an octa core Snapdragon 615 SoC paired with 2 GB of RAM. It is alleged 16 GB of native memory space along with a micro SD card slot onboard for expandable storage support.

The highlight of the unannounced Galaxy A8 is likely to be its thin build of 5.94 mm making it the slimmest Samsung smartphone launched so far. This way, the device will be thinner than the best selling flagship models Galaxy S6 and iPhone 6.

Also, the other highlight of the Galaxy A8 is the 16 MP ISOCELL main snapper at its back with f/1.9 aperture and HDR. The recently leaked details show that the Galaxy A8 will arrive with a tap based fingerprint sensor as in the Galaxy S6. This will definitely make the smartphone stand apart from the crowded mid-range market segment.

The Galaxy A8 is tipped to arrive in three color options – black, white and gold. A series of leaked photos of the smartphone show its metal frame and a design similar to the Galaxy S6 lineup.
