During the local launch of the Galaxy A6s and Galaxy A9s in China, Samsung reportedly showed off the upcoming Galaxy A8s smartphone. This mid-tier device was said to have an always visible Zero notched display at the upper left corner of the screen, which houses the front camera.
The notch style used on this display was later unveiled at the Samsung Developer Conference (SDC) 2018 as the Infinity-O display. It made its debut alongside other Infinity Display types (notch and notch-less) which will be used by Samsung on its upcoming Galaxy devices.
The Samsung Galaxy A8s will have a bezel-less display with high screen-to-body ratio. It will have a triple rear camera setup like the Galaxy A7 (2018) and an ellipse-shaped rear fingerprint scanner. It should also arrive in a number of colour gradient choices just like the Galaxy A9 (2018).
The device is expected to pack the Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 octa-core mobile platform paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB built-in storage. The 6.39-inch Full HD+ LCD Infinity-O display used is reportedly manufactured by BOE and the 3400mAh battery is charged via USB Type-C.
There is still no information as to when the Samsung Galaxy A8s will go official and how much it will cost.
