Design and Body

The Samsung Galaxy J8 has a full polycarbonate body instead of a glass/aluminium body. However, I guess Samsung decided to use plastic as a way of cutting costs. The phone still has a great quality build despite it’s made of plastic. The phone has minimal bezels at the top and bottom thanks to the 18:9 aspect ratio. The phone weighs about 177 grams and has a thickness of 8.2 mm, it’s not really bulky.

Display

Samsung smartphones have been known for having good displays and trust me this phone didn’t disappoint. The Samsung Galaxy J8 sports a 6.0 inches Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 720×1480 pixels and 274 PPI density. Despite it being a 720p display, Samsung made up by using a Super AMOLED panel.

Samsung decided to go for a modest Qualcomm chipset. The Galaxy J8 is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 chipset which has a maximum clock speed of 1.8 GHz coupled with Adreno 505 in charge of graphics and gaming.
The processor is coupled with 4GB of RAM for good multitasking and 64GB built-in storage for storing images, videos and others. There’s a dedicated micro SD card slot for expanding the storage if the need arises.

Samsung Galaxy J8 Review in 2020

Samsung Galaxy J8 is still a good phone for one to buy now in 2020 as the price has become cheaper. The phone runs on the latest Android version which is a good thing. The phone is still good like I’ve already said but don’t have many expectations from it. If there are better options in the same price range as this phone it will be better if you go for them.
