There's even a performance-oriented chipset under the hood this time around. The Exynos 7885 comes with two high-performance Cortex-A73 cores in addition to six low-power cores, unlike previous chips that packed only low-power cores and weren't great at keeping things running smoothly. The Exynos 7885 even has Bluetooth 5.0 support (meaning support for dual audio support), and at least one variant of the Galaxy A8+ will have 6GB of RAM (likely in China and a few neighboring countries). The A8 and A8+ blur the lines between mid-range and flagship phones, so it's not surprising that these phones will also be priced higher than their predecessors.
So, what are the Galaxy A8 and Galaxy A8+ prices?
The Galaxy A8 will be priced at €499, while the A8+ (2018) will cost €599. These prices are for Europe, but you can expect them to carry comparable price tags in other markets. Samsung hasn't yet told us where these phones will launch, but we expect that information to be made available as and when the company starts selling them in early January.
