Samsung is constantly stopping the market with new smartphones. Still from the middle segment, the South Korean brand released the Galaxy J8. Seeing the price is so, what exactly is offered by the Galaxy J8 for consumers of the country. Well, to find out a lot of things from the Galaxy J8, the following review Kellytech will reveal it further. So, just listen.
Design
Although not frontal, at least Samsung has offered a number of changes, especially in the latest J series smartphones, including in the Galaxy J8. Entering the middle class smartphone category, the Galaxy J8 has been formulated with a number of contemporary elements. Just say the landscape of the screen has an ratio of 18.5: 9 which greatly affects the smartphone form factor in general.
In the Galaxy J8 we are presented by a smartphone that comes with a sleek design and tends to extend the impact of the ratio of the screen it adopts. Although this smartphone has a 6-inch diagonal screen, the body in general is still relatively compact with dimensions equivalent to a 5.5-inch sailing smartphone.
The Samsung Galaxy J8 has been formulated with a unibody design, which combines the Super AMOLED display panel on the front and is covered with a plastic back panel. Presented in a rectangular format with a rounded blunt corner, this smartphone also looks ergonomic thanks to the smooth curves that are presented on the sides.
Well, considering that the Galaxy J8 does not adopt a bangs design, at the top of the screen it can be seen that the bezel area is still quite large as the selfie camera sensor along with the LED flash are accompanied by a proximity sensor and receiver. At the bottom of the screen is left blank without any components perched here.
In terms of placement of buttons, on the Galaxy J8 the manufacturer also seems to have made changes, in this case it seems to be made uniform as can be found in the Galaxy A6 series. Instead of being placed below, the main speaker of the smartphone is in the area on the right side, side by side with the power button.
Likewise the existence of a SIM and micro-SD card slot located in the right side area side by side with the volume button. As for the bottom side of the section, we will find a micro-USB port along with a 3.5 mm audio jack. As usual on the back, here is a place for a number of other components, such as dual camera sensors along with LED flash and fingerprint sensors. Of course here is also the logo of the smartphone maker, Samsung.
Infinity Display
If beforehand the Infinity Display concept screen could only be felt in Samsung's flagship smartphone, now it is no longer so. Yes, Samsung has expanded the adoption of Infinity Display in their middle-class smartphones, one of them in the Galaxy J8.
For the Galaxy J8, from the side of the display this smartphone presents a fairly wide screen, which is 6.0 inches. Although it is sufficient, it is quite unfortunate that with a size that reaches 6.0 inches, the Galaxy J8 screen only offers HD + resolution (720 x 1480 pixels) aka not Full HD. Thus, in terms of density, the content emitted by this smartphone ranges from ~ 274 ppi density.
Just like other Samsung smartphones, the Galaxy J8 has also adopted a type of Super AMOLED screen. As it is known, this type of screen, besides being known for its clarity, also has other advantages, including the appearance or content presented is still relatively visible when used outdoors under sun exposure.
Lantara has adopted an aspect ratio of 18.5: 9, the experience offered by the Galaxy J8 such as watching videos, playing games, browsing the internet, or other activities has been much better. While as an input device, from the side of its responsiveness, the Galaxy J8 screen is also very good. Likewise the ability of multitouch, where the Galaxy J8 screen can be accessed simultaneously as many as 5 points.
Similar to the Galaxy A6 (2018), despite adopting Infinity Display, from the display side, the screen of the Galaxy J8 still appears with a sharp angle to it, unlike the Samsung Galaxy A6 + (2018) whose corners of the screen are already seen rounded or rounded.
To provide a better user experience, Samsung includes various modes or facilities that can be seen in the Settings menu> Display. One of them is Outdoor Mode, this facility can overcome visibility problems, especially when we use the Samsung Galaxy J8 outdoors, in the hot sun. This mode will turn off automatically after we don't use the screen for 15 minutes.
Interface and Security
In many ways, for the operating system and interface, the Galaxy J8 doesn't seem too much different than what the Galaxy A6 or Galaxy A6 + (2018) has to offer. This smartphone is the Android 8.0 Oreo operating system that is enhanced by Samsung Experience 9.0. So, generally for you loyal users of Samsung devices, you might already be familiar with what is displayed on Samsung Experience.
In addition, in the Galaxy J8 the manufacturer has also injected a number of bloatware which can also be found on the Galaxy A6, such as the Bixby application, Samsung Health, Samsung Connect, S Lime, Samsung Max, and so on.
Well, in terms of security, what the Galaxy J8 has to offer is also no different from the Galaxy A6 (2018). This smartphone also has a number of biometric-based security features, such as fingerprint sensors and face recognition. As the name implies with the Face Recognition feature we can quickly and easily open the screen, it's as easy as taking a selfie or scanning a finger.
In addition to the biometric security features discussed above, in the Settings menu> Biometrics and Security there are also other security facilities, including Google Play Protect, Find My Mobile, Samsung Pass, Secure Startup, Encrypt SD Card, and so on.
Camera
In the photography sector, similar to the Galaxy A6 +, the smartphone that Kellytech reviews this time also has a rear dual-camera sensor with the same resolution and aperture. So, the Galaxy J8 comes with a dual-camera consisting of a 16 MP main sensor (f / 1.7) and a 5 MP secondary sensor (f / 1.9). While to accommodate users who like selfies, the Galaxy J8 is equipped with a 16 MP front camera sensor (f / 1.9) with LED Flash that is useful for taking pictures in low light conditions.
Besides being equipped with sensors as mentioned above, there are a number of facilities and modes presented in the Galaxy J8 on the camera application interface. For example in the area to the left, here you can see a number of modes offered, such as night, panorama, pro, beauty, live focus, auto, stickers, and continuous modes. The camera on the Galaxy J8 also allows users to be able to take pictures in full view mode.
Well, for the results of the shot itself, overall the back of the Galaxy J8 doesn't disappoint. In the sense that color reproduction is produced sharp and detailed. Except that, by activating the Live Focus mode, it is also possible to take bokeh photos, with adjustable depth, both before and after the photo is taken. In addition, armed with a low aperture, this camera is also good enough for taking photos in minimal lighting.
Turning to the front camera, with a resolution of 16 MP plus having a LED flash, Galaxy J8 has answered the need, especially for those who like selfies. The front camera viewfinder is classified as sharp with natural and realistic color offerings. Do not stop there, for users who want to get the desired results, a number of facilities have also been pinned on the Galaxy J8, such as beauty mode, selfie focus, or just funny, users can use sticker mode.
