The Galaxy A8's Gaming Performance: A Closer Look

As I continued to test the Samsung Galaxy A8's gaming performance, I noticed that it does experience some minor frame drops, particularly when playing games with high action. However, these frame drops are relatively rare and do not significantly impact the overall gaming experience. In fact, the phone's performance is still very good, as evidenced by my recent gaming session with Asphalt 8.

During this gaming session, I noticed that the phone's frame rates were stable and consistent, even during intense gameplay sessions. The game's visuals were also impressive, with the phone's metallic body providing a sleek and premium look. While the frame drops did occur when playing this particular game, they were not noticeable enough to detract from the overall gaming experience.

To further assess the Galaxy A8's gaming performance, I decided to test it with another popular game, Modern Combat 5. I was pleased to find that the phone handled this game well, with no significant lag or frame drops occurring during my gameplay session. This suggests that the Galaxy A8 is capable of delivering smooth and seamless gaming experiences.

I also took the opportunity to check the phone's temperatures during these gaming sessions, as overheating can be a concern when playing games for extended periods. To my surprise, I did not notice any significant heating issues with the phone, even during intense gameplay sessions. The ambient temperature was around 27.5 degrees Celsius, and the highest recorded temperature near the earpiece was around 39 degrees Celsius.

To further test the Galaxy A8's gaming performance, I decided to play another popular game, Nova 3. This game is known for its high system requirements, but the Galaxy A8 handled it surprisingly well. The phone's frame rates were stable and consistent, even during intense gameplay sessions, and there was no significant lag or frame drops occurring.

Overall, my experience with the Galaxy A8 has been very positive when it comes to gaming performance. While some minor frame drops did occur during certain games, these issues were relatively rare and did not significantly impact the overall gaming experience. The phone's performance is still very good, even when playing demanding games like Nova 3. I will be publishing a full in-depth review of the Galaxy A8 soon, which will include more detailed information about its gaming performance.

Comparison to Other Devices

In comparison to other devices, the Galaxy A8's gaming performance is impressive, especially considering its price point. While some high-end smartphones may offer better gaming performance, the Galaxy A8's performance is still very good and well worth considering for gamers on a budget. I will be publishing a review of the Oneplus 2 soon, which will include a comparison of its gaming performance to the Galaxy A8.

Conclusion

In conclusion, my experience with the Samsung Galaxy A8 has been very positive when it comes to gaming performance. While some minor frame drops did occur during certain games, these issues were relatively rare and did not significantly impact the overall gaming experience. The phone's performance is still very good, even when playing demanding games like Nova 3. I will be publishing a full in-depth review of the Galaxy A8 soon, which will include more detailed information about its gaming performance.

Future Review

I plan to publish a future review that includes the Oneplus 2, which will provide a comparison of their gaming performance. The review will cover topics such as temperature management, battery life, and overall gaming experience. I hope that this review will be informative and helpful to readers who are interested in learning more about these devices.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi there this is ranjit and i have the samsung galaxy a8 which is the slimmest android phone by samsung it has just a 5.9 mm depth and in this video we'll be doing the gaming review and uh the interesting thing with the galaxy 8 is that the one that is being sold in india comes with the exynos chipset that is the exynos 5430 and this is based on two quad-core chips the high performance score is based on the amcodex a15 clocked at 1.8 gigahertz and the lower performance four cores are based on the amcodex a7 and regarding the gpu it has the mali t628 gpu and quite a few of you were wondering how does it perform in gaming so we'll test that out and we'll start with casual games and then quickly move to heavy games let's start with dead trigger 2. so this is dead trigger 2 and uh this galaxy a8 uh sports a 1080p screen it's a 5.7 inch super amoled screen and the screen quality is really good as you can see let me blob a grenade there and so far so good i noticed no lagginess oops and as it's a super omelet oops great thanks and as you can see it's playing this one really well and i've already done the unboxing and overview for this device so you can check out that for more details link will be in the youtube show notes so it's playing this game really well so let's do one thing let's move to heavier games and see how it handles them so let's get out of this one and we'll also check the temperatures later on and see how it performs and let's swipe away this one and let's now move to asphalt 8. so this is asphalt 8 and i'm using the onscreen steering and we are at the highest setting it looks like it's handling it without any issues doing the drift and what i'm really liking about this device is the very thin bezels as you can notice the bezels are really thin on this and also though it's a 5.7 inch screen device that's sort of a tablet it's pretty light to hold and the touch response is also really good i noticed some minor frame drop there but let's continue and see and as you can see it's running uh very well this asphalt 8 game so so far i would say good yes i did notice minor frame drops at times here and there but for the most part it's running it fairly well and again i noticed that frame drop there so oh yes uh i've noticed some frame drops here and there so let's do one thing uh let's move to another level and see how it handles it so this is the tokyo level we'll play this for a minute or so and then move to other games and again we are at the highest graphics setting oops and it's handling uh this level well but again yes i did again notice a minor frame drops again as you have noticed yes so it is playing this level but yes there are some minor frame drops when there is a lot of action going on again you won't notice that if you don't play this game a lot i have played this game a lot so i can notice that but still i would say the gameplay experience is still very good as you can see i just did a takedown and this a8 has a metallic body and it actually looks pretty sleek i would say this is one of the most uh good looking phone uh as of now from samsung apart from obviously the s6 edge i crashed and it's just over 10 minutes since we were gaming so let me do one thing let's just uh check the temperatures and then let's move to another game and it's 10 minutes since we were gaming and as you can see the ambient temperature is around 27.5 degrees centigrade and here we are registering a temperature of about 38 degrees and down near the earpiece again near the earpiece it's a little bit high about 39 let's go back and see again this is metallic entire and about 40 max near the samsung global near the camera about 39 so max i'm seeing uh you're about 40.1 so let's get out of this one and let's try uh more heavier games like uh what do you say nova 3 let's see how it handles nova 3 so this is nova 3 and let's play this game and this is a pretty heavy game and many devices do exhibit some lag so let's see how it handles this one oh and i have to say it's handling it well i didn't expect it to handle the nova 3 this well so it's handling nova 3 really well i would say so uh it handled nova 3 very well let's continue so this is modern comeback 3 a fps game and we'll also play this for a few minutes and i also have this oneplus 2 my next video will be the gaming review with the oneplus 2 so just stay tuned for that i know quite a few of you have asked for that so i will be posting that also very soon in fact the oneplus 2 did not exhibit uh any heating with normal usage but i did not do extensive gaming with it so we'll test that in my next video and as you can see it's again handling this uh modern compact fire also really well it's surprisingly i thought that it would lag a bit because with asphalt 8 uh we saw some minor frame drops but looks like it's handling these games fine so it might be an optimization issue with asphalt 8. so far so good i haven't noticed any lagginess on this game so again looks like with asphalt 8 it might be the optimization issues because it's using the mali gpu so overall i'm actually satisfied with the gaming performance because it ran even nova 3 well i would say again as you can see no lagginess even with this high action that is going on yeah i noticed some lag there let's see if you see it again now it's handling it fine and this level should be done now and it's almost 20 minutes since we were actually gaming on this device so we'll also look at the temperatures now when this level is down this should be done now yeah this level is done and it's just over 20 minutes since we were gaming so let's look at the temperatures again as you can see it's just around 38 uh 39 we saw max 39.9 40 yes near the earpiece it's about 40. let's look at the back and here also about just 40 degrees centigrade and as you can see the ambient temperature here where i'm testing is 20. uh 27.5 around that so about 40 degrees is the max uh 40 point yeah might go up to 40.5 or so so definitely it's not heating up yes it's slightly warm but no way i would say it's heating so let's just get out of this one also and what do i feel about the gaming performance with this galaxy a8 as you can see uh from the gaming review uh overall i would say it did perform well but yes we did notice some minor frame drops in asphalt 8 and even a once in modern combat 5 but apart from that the overall gaming performance was nice and also it did not exhibit any overheating issues i'll also be posting the full in-depth review for the galaxy a8 very soon so stay tuned to my channel and yes i will also be posting the gaming review with this oneplus 2 very soon so stay tuned thanks for watching this video this is ranjit and i hope to
