    There have been a lot of leaks and rumors concerning the Galaxy A8 and Galaxy A8+ (2018) over the past few weeks. Samsung is due to unveil these handsets in the near future. It might announce then at the Consumer Electronics Show 2018 next month.

    While we've already seen countless leaked renders and images, a detailed hands-on video of the Galaxy A8 and Galaxy A8+ (2018) has been posted online today. As you can imagine, the video leaves little to the imagination.

    The video reiterates almost everything that we've heard about this device so far. You can clearly see the slim bezels of the display and the updated design.

    You can only appreciate the visuals of these devices in this video unless you can speak Khmer. It does give you a detailed look at Samsung's upcoming premium mid-range handsets.

    Samsung is yet to confirm when it's going to unveil the Galaxy A8 and Galaxy A8+ (2018). For those who have not been following up on this, these devices were previously known as the Galaxy A5 and Galaxy A7 (2018).

    We're likely going to see an official announcement from Samsung concerning these devices in a couple of weeks. Information about pricing and availability will only be revealed then.
