Lately, new pictures of Samsung Galaxy A8 in real life has been spotted. It also comes with pretty good specs and aims at the mid-range smartphone market.

Galaxy A series marks the change of Samsung into all-alloy design with affordable prices. In fact, Sony Galaxy A3, A5 and A7 have gained a lot of attraction from phone consumers not only in Japan but also all over the world. And now, it looks like Samsung is going to continue their strategy with Samsung Galaxy A8.

According to some previous leaks, the new machine was initially said to feature 5.7-inch display. Meanwhile, a GFXBench listing mentioned a 5.5-inch. Now, we see the picture showing Samsung Galaxy A8 together with Galaxy A7 which sports a 5.5″ screen. It is easy to notice that A8 is obviously larger. That means the original rumor has turned out to be true. A8 is a 5.7-inch FullHD AMOLED device. On the other hand, there is a change in the design of A8. Its corners are much rounder compared to those of Galaxy A3, A5 and A7.
