Samsung beat everyone to the punch when they announced the Galaxy A8s — the very first smartphone to ever come with an in-display front-facing camera.
The company didn’t immediately announce the pricing of this device upon launch. But now, we finally have that important information.
JD.com, a Chinese online retailer, is selling the Samsung Galaxy A8s for a price of CNY2,999 (~Php23,000). That’s for the 6GB/128GB model, while the SRP for the 8GB variant is yet to be announced.
The device is now live in China. However, its official pricing and availability in other markets, especially here in the Philippines, are yet to be announced.
