A device with the model number SM-J800FN has been spotted at the Wi-Fi Alliance. The same device surfaced in a benchmark last month, revealing some of its specifications. Based on Samsung’s naming pattern, the device should be the Galaxy J8 (2018). The device’s visit to the Wi-Fi Alliance for receiving its Wi-Fi certification signals its impending launch.
Other than that it has Android 8.0 Oreo on board, nothing else is revealed about the Galaxy J8 (2018) from its certification. However, from the earlier Geekbench results, we know the handset will likely be powered by an Exynos 7870 processor and 3GB of RAM.
May come with an Infinity Display
It is believed that the new Galaxy J8 model will sport an Infinity Display like the one found in the Galaxy A8 (2018). Reports also suggested a new Galaxy J8+ (2018) device in line with the Galaxy A8+ (2018) model. Giving credence to these reports, a device with the model number SM-J805G, believed to be the European Galaxy J8+ (2018), has surfaced in a benchmark listing a few days back. It sports the same Exynos 7870 processor but bumps up the RAM to 4GB from the Galaxy J8’s 3GB.
Launching the Galaxy J8 and Galaxy J8+ models with Infinity Displays will bring an element of consistency to Samsung’s mid-range smartphone lineup. With the Galaxy S9 and S9+ in the premium segment, the Galaxy A8 and A8+ in the upper mid-range segment, and the Galaxy J8 and J8+ in the upper-budget category, Samsung will have smartphones with Infinity Displays at different price points, targeting different segments. Whether any of this is enough for Samsung to tackle growing competition from its Chinese rivals remains to be seen.
