Hardware

[edit]

Samsung Galaxy J8 is a refined version of the hardware design introduced in the Samsung Galaxy J6, it has a rounded polycarbonate chassis. It has a length of 159.2 mm (6.27 in), a width of 75.7 mm (2.98 in), and a thickness of 8.2 mm (0.32 in) and it weighs 177 gram. At the top of the screen, there is a 16 MP (f/1.9) front-facing camera. At the back panel, there is a dual rear camera setup with a 16 MP (f/1.7) main camera and a 5 MP (f/1.9) depth sensor with live focus, portrait mode and background blur options. There are proximity and ambient light sensors, and a notification LED.[5] The Galaxy J8's 6.0 inch display is larger than other phones in the same series launched in 2018. The Super AMOLED screen of the device has ~75.8% screen-to-body ratio, 720x1480 resolution, 18.5:9 aspect ratio, ~274 ppi pixel density and Corning Gorilla Glass protection. It is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 SoC with 1.8 GHz octa-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor and Adreno 506 GPU[6][7] backed by 3 GB RAM/32 GB internal storage or 4 GB RAM/64 GB internal storage. It has a 3500 mAh battery.[4]

It is worth noting that even though the Galaxy J8 ships with a 64 bit SoC (Snapdragon 450), the OEM has installed a 32 bit OS using arm_binder64 interface which downgrades the CPU capability by at least 30%.
