There'southward a lot to like virtually the new Galaxy A8 (2018) and A8+ (2018), but the dual front end cameras are the highlight on Samsung'due south latest mid-range phones (or can we call them mid-range flagships at this point?). The 16-megapixel and 8-megapixel front cameras combine to allow one to have selfies with groundwork blur through the Alive Focus characteristic, just like the dual rear cameras on the Galaxy Note 8. Dual selfie cameras are a first for Samsung smartphones, so naturally, we've been playing around with them a bit since getting our easily on a Galaxy A8 earlier this week.

Galaxy A8 (2018) Live Focus selfies come out well

We'll be testing the telephone inside out in the coming days before publishing our full review, only for at present, we thought we'd put up a few Live Focus selfie samples to give our readers a glimpse of what the dual front cameras on the A8 can practise. We can't offer a conclusion yet, but the feature seems to work quite well with selfies, even managing to blur out the edges around the hair and ears properly. Well, the real examination would be with longer hair, and the selfies aren't too sharp (peculiarly when you encounter the full-size versions on a PC), but we're impressed with the results overall. In fact, with the Samsung boxes on our function wall every bit the background, the upshot is slightly better than with Alive Focus on the Annotation 8's rear cameras.

It'south also worth noting that on the Milky way A8, you can non only suit background mistiness in Live Focus pictures after they've been taken, but besides modify the area of focus. That's similar to what we could do with the Selective focus camera mode on single-camera Samsung phones, and it looks like the company has managed to bake the feature in with Live Focus on the A8. The Note 8 doesn't allow this with Live Focus pictures, but we're hoping Samsung will add the functionality with a software update in the future.

We'll be publishing our hands-on experience with the Galaxy A8 and A8+ soon, so keep an middle out for that. For at present, check out the samples below and allow us know what you call up. We have too added a comparing of a photo taken with maximum and minimum groundwork mistiness at the bottom.
