No more notches

Samsung equipped the A8s with a 3,400 mAh battery with adaptive fast charging support, a USB-C port and Android 8.1 Oreo.

The back features a triple camera setup with a 24 mega-pixel main sensor with a large f/1.7 aperture and a secondary 10 mega-pixel telephoto lens with f/2.4 aperture.The third camera is a 5 mega-pixel with f/2.2 aperture and is used for depth sensing.
