Earlier this year, Samsung started introduced its new Galaxy A-series smartphones that features metallic properties and premium finish. Galaxy A8 takes too much time to reach TENAA. The rumor market is almost asleep regarding the handset. Well, if that isn’t enough of a testament to its imminent launch, then it’s a recent visit to TENAA should clear all doubt.

The TENAA listing confirms that the Samsung Galaxy A8 will come with a 5.7” 1080p Super AMOLED display and is powered by a 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 chipset arming 2GB of RAM and a 1.4GHz octa-core processor. For imaging, it houses a 16 MP rear camera and a 5MP front-facing camera. It will also come with 16 GB of internal storage.
The Galaxy A8 will run TouchWiz UX based on Android 5.1 Lollipop. It will also offer 4G LTE support, Adreno 405 GPU, and a 3,050 mAh battery.
Number crunchers will be thrilled to know that the Galaxy A8 measures 158 × 76.77 × 5.94 mm, making it Samsung’s thinnest smartphone.
