The revised Galaxy A8 will be offered in White, Gold and Black. While the exact pricing is unknown for the moment, the device will be available in Japan midway through this month.
As far as the Samsung Galaxy A8 (2016) is concerned, we still await the official unveiling from Samsung. Earlier this month, the Samsung Galaxy A3 (2016), Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) and Samsung Galaxy A7 (2016) were officially announced by the manufacturer.

Really? What's the price?
So $399 is to much for this phone?
Considering it is spec'd nearly identical to the iPhone 6S Plus which costs $749 got 16GB of storage, I would say you are completely blind.
Under $400 for these specs is awesome. Considering also the Moto X is about $399 with similar specs, again I'd say you're wrong.
But you are entitled to your opinion. Obviously you dont understand specs and pricing.

Techie, listen closely.
How many times must people mention to you that iOS does NOT need the same specs to keep up with an Android device.
While I do agree with you that this phone isn't overpriced, I completely disagree with your assumption of an equivalently spec'd android device being able to keep up with an iPhone 6s. Two different OSs.
Also, way to tell someone they are entitled to their opinion yet call them completely blind. He didn't even bring Apple into this. You did.

Goes double for you douchbag. You too need to learn how to read. I didn't mention Apple or iOS. I made a price comparison based on similar could clock speed and r amount and screen resolution. If you can see that then you are an idiot.

How many times will you read my posts before you understand. And your claim that the iPhone doesn't need the specs is bulls*it. That is why it's runs like crappie on the iPhone 4. Because the OSS need better specs to run properly.
But my post wasn't about slecs, it was about price for the specs.
The comparison was very simple.
IPHONE 1.9ghz, 2GB, 1080....749. MOTOR Xbox similar specs $400, Galaxy A8 similar specs $400. It was the price based on similar specs.
Wake up and understand what the post actually means before you chime in.
Gosh it seems like the vast majority of people here lack the simplest of common sense.

It was a fair comparison based on price.
Also having an opinion doesn't mean it can't be a blind one...does it?
I am curious how did you read my post and somehow got out of it I was talking about how an OS runs?
Dude you too are blind. I did a price comparison based on the identical specs of the phone because the guy claimed the phone costed to much.
Yet the iPhone 6S plus has similar specs and costs 749. Yet the zoo to Xbox has similar specs and it too costs $400.
It was a price comparison based on the specs and his claim the phone cost to much and I gave an example of a phone that costed to much with similar specs.
Now that I smacked you to the floor by showing you how much of an idiot you are and how wrong you were, maybe you will figure out how to answer and reason with understanding and comprehension.

Also I never even mention iOS. I mention the iPhone as only a price comparison.

That kind of chipset and a good camera under 400$ is pretty good.

SoC is also found in Note 4 so its a pretty good one even for 2015-2016.

Yeah, I misread SD 615 instead of Exynos 5433. So everything is superb in this phone.

This is not new, since launching, the A8 edition in Malaysia already is Exynos 5433 instead of S615

My mistake, Malaysia one is 5430 edition instead of 5433. So Japan one is slightly new.
