Samsung has quietly launched the successor to last year’s Galaxy A07. The Galaxy A08 had already appeared in Google’s systems a few weeks ago, and Samsung has now officially launched it.
Samsung Galaxy A08 4G Specifications
The Galaxy A08 has a 6.7-inch HD+ LCD screen with an Infinity-U notch. That means the 8MP selfie camera sits inside a waterdrop-style notch instead of a punch-hole cutout.
Under the hood, Samsung is using the MediaTek Helio G99, the same 6nm chipset found in several of its recent budget phones. It comes with a Mali-G57 MC2 GPU, 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM, and 128GB of storage. The latter is expandable up to 2TB via the microSD card slot.
On the software front, it comes with Android 16 and One UI 8, and Samsung, as usual, is promising six generations of Android OS upgrades along with six years of security updates.
The shooting duties are handled by a 50MP main camera (f/1.8 aperture) and a 2MP depth sensor on the back. You also get an LED flash for nighttime shots. The fingerprint scanner is built into the side-mounted power button, and there’s a 3.5mm headphone jack for wired earphones.
The Galaxy A08 packs a 6,000mAh battery with support for 25W wired charging. Samsung does not include a charger in the box, so you’ll need to use your own USB-C adapter. The phone also has an IP64 rating for dust and water resistance.
Connectivity includes dual 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11ac with support for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks, Bluetooth 5.3, GPS, and a USB Type-C port. The phone measures 167.4 x 77.4 x 8.0mm and weighs 197 grams.
Pricing and Availability
Samsung is offering the Galaxy A08 in Navy Blue, Silver, and Green. The 4GB + 128GB model costs 10,699 Ukrainian hryvnia, which works out to around $239.
The Galaxy A08 is already available in Ukraine, while listings have also appeared on Samsung’s websites in Serbia and South Africa. More markets are expected to get the phone in the coming weeks and months.
