Samsung Galaxy A8 Star Unique Features

The smartphone sensors measure physical quantities and transmit them to the application processor. The phone's accelerometer is a built-in electronic component that measures tilt and motion. A fingerprint sensor is one of the easiest and most secure ways to protect your smartphone. The proximity sensor detects when a user is holding the phone near their face during a call and turns off the display to prevent keypad presses and battery consumption from the display. The Galaxy A8 Star has Dual SIM capability, which means that you can insert two different SIM cards and use them both from one phone.

Pros / Cons

Pros:

Has live focus feature in the camera
Smart Beauty and Pro Lighting

Cons:

Lack of Optical image stabilization
