The evidence comes in the form of the model number. The certifications are for the SM-G887N; Samsung uses the letter N in model numbers for devices launched in Korea, while the Chinese models get a 0 at the end instead of a letter. Unfortunately, while the certifications suggest that a Korean model is in the works, it doesn't tell us when the device will be launched or arrive on retail shelves. Samsung also has some new budget phones with Infinity-V displays set for release in January, so we can expect the A8s to go official for South Korea at around the same time.
The Galaxy A8s' specs are unlikely to be changed for South Korea. It comes with a 6.4-inch Full HD+ Infinity-O display, the Snapdragon 710 SoC, 6GB/8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, a triple-camera setup at the back with 24-megapixel primary, 8-megapixel ultra-wide, and 5-megapixel depth sensors, a 24-megapixel front camera, a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, a 3,400 mAh battery, and Android 8.1 Oreo. It also sports a dedicated Bixby button for Bixby Voice functionality.
