Samsung Galaxy J8 2018 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Shekhar Thakran]()
Verdict
The Galaxy J8 comes with the narrow-bezel Infinity Display design and an impressive build. The smartphone manages to offer excellent battery life, which is a crucial feature for most users. However, the handset is powered by a Snapdragon 450 SoC and comes with an HD+ panel instead of an FHD+ screen, which can be a dealbreaker given the asking price of the smartphone. For a lower price, the ASUS Zenfone Max Pro M1`s 6GB RAM variant (review) and Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro (review) offer more powerful processors, higher resolution displays and more memory. This makes it incredibly hard for us to rec...

Design and display
+
In the last two years, Samsung has produced handsets with impressive build quality and designs. The new Galaxy J8 continues the same trend. The company has now brought the Infinity Display design, albeit with notably thicker bezels compared to the Galaxy S series, to the J series with the Galaxy J6 and Galaxy J8. Even though we still don't get the curved sides on the display here, the relatively narrow bezels allow for a more immersive viewing experience while watching movies or other multimedia content. Also, you get a big display - a 6-inch panel to be precise - in a compact frame, which makes it easy to hold the handset in one hand.

The Samsung Galaxy J8 comes with a dual rear camera setup, comprising a primary 16MP sensor with f/1.7 aperture and a 5MP sensor with f/.9 aperture. At the front, you get a 16MP sensor, with a f/1.9 aperture for taking selfies. With the default camera app, users get different camera modes including Pro, Panorama, Beauty, Live Focus, Stickers, and Continuous Shot.

To address the elephant in the room, the Galaxy J8 is powered by the Snapdragon 450 SoC, which is definitely not fitting for a handset in this price range. To give you further perspective, Xiaomi's Redmi 5, which is priced around Rs 12,000 less than the Galaxy J8, comes with the very same processor. In a market where competition is at its peak and manufacturers are offering powerful processors at cheaper price points, Samsung seems to have lost the plot in this category. Having said that, the phone manages to handle regular apps and games with ease, but heavy games like PUBG and Injustice 2 are better played at low graphics settings.

Battery

The Galaxy J8 houses a beefy 3,500mAh battery and the handset offers the same battery-saving features as some of the other handsets from the company. Overall, we found the battery backup to be extremely impressive. As the new mid-range handset from Samsung packs an HD+ display, which is less power-draining than higher resolution panels, the Galaxy J8 managed to last two days of regular usage with ease.
