As for the specs, the Galaxy A8s will reportedly be powered by the Snapdragon 710 SoC and will pack a triple rear camera set-up similar to theGalaxy A7.Galaxy A8s concept render (Image Courtesy: AllAboutSamsung)
It appears that Samsung is trying to steal the thunder from Huawei, Samsung’s arch-rival in the Chinese market, by launching the world’s first smartphone with an in-display camera. Earlier today, Huawei announced that it will launch theNova 4with a strikingly similar design and an in-display camera on December 17, which clearly indicates that Samsung is trying to one-up Huawei.
Just take a moment to look at the similarity between the front panel’s design of the Huawei Nova 4 and the Galaxy A8s. Aesthetics aside, the Nova 4 will reportedly be powered by the flagship 7nm Kirin 980 chipset which that also powers theMate 20 Pro, paired with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard storage.
