Samsung galaxy A8- buy or not

Samsung galaxy A8 in gold with beautiful unibody design

Samsung has already leading the smartphone market with its galaxy s6 and galaxy s6 edge. Both phones are making good profits for the company since their launch. There are only few smartphones that can compete with Samsung's flagships.
But in a market like India, we focus on price. Most of the Indian smartphone buyer prefers to go for a budget segment(15k-30k) instead of spending too much money.
So Samsung is presenting its new budget phone called Samsung galaxy A8.

Galaxy A8 is the new smartphone from Samsung. It has a 5.7 inch 1920*1080 super Amoled display with 386ppi . It is also one of the slimmest phone from Samsung. Now Samsung is taking it's phones design

5.9mm thin from sides

seriously.This time they have used full metallic body which looks stunning. Galaxy A8 is only 5.9mm thin,which makes it look beautiful.

It has a great 16 MP rear camera with options like face detection, image stabilization,voice activation, and digital zoom. Galaxy A8 camera is some what like s6 camera. You will get the same UI. Front camera is of 5 MP which is able to take wide shoots.
In terms of hardware specification,it has Qualcomm snapdragom Octacore processor with 2 GB of ram.You will also get a finger print scanner similar to galaxy s6. It is coming with 32 GB built in storage expandable up to 128 GB using external micro sd card. Now this is one of the best feature they are offering. Samsung didn't forget about battery,so they have used a 3050mAh battery that will last for a day on normal usage.

This time I'm fully satisfied with a Samsung's smartphone but still there's something that Samsung should think about.I'm talking about its price point. It is available in India for Rs 32500, which is a little higher for a budget phone. It would be lot better if they cut its price by 5-6k.
Now you might be thinking about it's competitors. So we have newly released Oneplus 2 and Asus Zenfone 2. According to me Oneplus 2 is the biggest competitor with great hardware and software.Oneplus 2 is available for Rs 25000 which makes it a tough competition for Samsung galaxy A8.

Summing up all the things I can say that galaxy A8 is a good device with great look and design. If you want a good looking phone with good performance for around 30k then you can consider Samsung galaxy A8 as an option. If you don't want to spend that much money,then wait for few months till it's price drops by 5-6k.
