Galaxy A8 (2018) leaks in new renders: Samsung's bezel-less mid-ranger is a beaut'

Official renders of the Galaxy A8 (2018) have just been unraveled by popular Dutch website Galaxyclub.nl.

Showing the upcoming mid-range bezel-busting trooper that Samsung is prepping in concert with an official-looking flip cases painted in different colors. Provided that the renders are real, which is rather likely, they will be confirming the much more logical placement of the fingerprint scanner at the back, which will be placed immediately below the camera unit and not offset to the side like on the Galaxy S8.

Of course, a fingerprint scanner at the back is required due to the tall, 2:1 bezel-busting display that will most definitely take up the front of the device, leaving no space for a conventional hardware button with the vital biometric sensor embedded. This is also confirmed by the recently-leaked manual for the device.

The Galaxy A8 (2018) and the Galaxy A8 Plus (2018) are expected to be announced soon as the rate of leaks is increasing. You can read more about the devices and their expected specs right here.
