A few days ago, the Samsung Galaxy A08 was listed by an online retailer in the UAE, and now the Korean company has decided to make it official, with no fanfare, no official press release, nothing like that. Samsung has just simply added the Galaxy A08 to its website in both Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The device comes with a 6.7-inch PLS LCD screen with 720x1600 resolution, a 50MP rear camera with f/1.8 aperture, a 2MP f/2.4 auxiliary rear camera, an 8MP front camera, and a 6,000 mAh battery.
