Samsung launched the Galaxy A8 last year around the same time, by the end of July. So as every year, the company is all set to refresh the previously launched device for the upcoming year. On the same lines, the company is now expected to launch the new version of the previously launched Galaxy A8. The galaxy A8 (2016) has been spotted online.

This new device has been spotted on the GFXBench website, where it has been benchmarked recently. Taking a look at the benchmark, it appears that the device features a 5.1-inch FHD display on the front. The device is powered by a 2.1 GHz Exynos 7429 processor and it comes packed with a 3GB of RAM. In terms of storage we are looking at a 32GB of internal storage option.

Talking about the camera, the Galaxy A8 sports a 16-megapixel rear facing camera and a 5-megapixel front facing selfie shooter. The device will run Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box. This are all the details that we have as of now from the GFXBench website. But as per previous records, the company is not expected to make much changes here, since they have maintained overall a similar design throughout the A series.

The Galaxy A8 launched earlier is one of the most feature packed devices launched by the company. The Galaxy A8 launched earlier had a 5.7-inch display, which is rather bigger than the Galaxy A8 (2016) spotted now. In terms of specs, it sports a Snapdragon 615 chipset with quad-core CPU. It packed a 2GB of RAM and 32GB internal storage out of the box. We had the same camera last year as well which is 16-megapixel and a 5-megapixel for rear and the front respectively.
