So far I keep mine on but battery life seems reasonable leh.
And I notice the screen goes totally out when you place the phone face down or put in pocket. The proximity sensor disables the always on feature.

Advancer, the shop you bought the phone from. one2free mobile used ninja van to delivery right. was your box still sealed when you got the item?

Anything amiss from the package?
Protection film still applied for front and back and all contents are there?
If so then shouldn't be too worrying.

Bought my A8+ today. Came from Oppo R11s Plus which has good battery life. I know it is somewhat a downgrade since R11s Plus has better front and rear cams and a more powerful SD 660 chipset :o

Took Samsung more than 2 years to finally give their first A series a notification LED. Will see how my new A8+ holds up :)


Can share how come you will choose A8+ than r11s plus? Considering these 2 mobiles.. But cant decide..

1) Samsung has the usual data limit setting by bill cycle of your choice. ColorOS goes by daily usage limit reminders.
2) Samsung is A LOT friendlier on push notifications.
3) SuperAmoled is more vivid and vibrant than the Amoled display of Oppo's.
4) IP68 offers extra protection.
5) Cheaper and easier to get compatible quick charge adapters/powerbanks for A8+.

Having said that, I still prefer R11s Plus' chipset and good cameras :)

No, both have good battery life. The difference would be negligible.

Cannot advise on the second question.

Anyone tried using QC 3.0 charger on the A8+?
Did u get normal or fast charging?

Fast charging using QC 3.0 works on my previous Note 5, but it doesn't work on A8+.

Only the original Adaptive Fast Charger works on A8+.

As far as I know, none of the SAMSUNG phones support qc3.0. Qualified ones are supporting adaptive fast charging which is equivalent to 2.0..
