The Samsung Galaxy J8 was a mid-range smartphone released in 2018. It offered a familiar Samsung design with a focus on cameras and battery life, but cut some corners on performance to achieve a competitive price point. Here’s a breakdown of the key aspects:
Pros:
Display: The J8 boasts a large and vibrant AMOLED display, offering good viewing angles and deep blacks.
Cameras: The dual rear cameras (16MP+5MP) take decent photos in good lighting conditions, with the ability to capture bokeh effects. The 16MP front camera is adequate for selfies.
Battery Life: The 3500mAh battery delivers a full day or more of usage on a single charge, making it a reliable companion.
Design: While plastic, the J8 has a decent build quality and feels comfortable to hold.
Cons:
Performance: The Snapdragon 450 processor struggles with demanding games and multitasking. Users reported occasional lag and stutter.
Software: The phone launched with Android Oreo and received one update to Android Pie. With software support likely discontinued, you might miss out on the latest features and security patches.
Missing Features: The J8 lacks a few features common in its price range at launch, including a USB-C port, fast charging, and an ambient light sensor.
Low-Light Camera Performance: Photos taken in low-light conditions suffer from noise and lack detail.
Overall:
The Samsung Galaxy J8 is a phone with some trade-offs. It delivers a beautiful display, good cameras (in bright light), and excellent battery life, but its performance falls short, and it lacks some features found on competing devices.
