Samsung has silently launched the Galaxy A08 in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Hardware-wise, the phone features two upgrades over its predecessor: an increased battery capacity and a better IP rating for dust and water resistance. The rest of the specifications remain the same.



The Galaxy A08 features a 6.7-inch PLS LCD screen with HD+ resolution (1,600 x 720 pixels), a 6,000mAh battery with 25W fast wired charging. It has a MediaTek Helio G99 processor, 4GB of LPDDR5X RAM, 128GB of internal storage, and a microSD card slot (up to 2TB).

The phone runs Android 17 (with One UI 9.0) out of the box. Samsung has promised to offer the phone six major Android OS upgrades and security patches for up to six years.



The Galaxy A08 features a 50MP primary rear camera with an F1.8 aperture and a 2MP (F2.4) auxiliary camera. On the front, it has an 8MP camera embedded in the display's U-shaped notch. The phone can record Full HD (1080p) videos at 30fps using both its front and rear cameras.
