If you mean the processor, the ones sold in SG are all exynos. Which is a better chip if you ask me.

 

[GWENDYSER01]

is this phone multi sim + micro sd or multi sim+microsd/sim slot?

Hi, may I ask if there's two SIM card in the A8, will the second SIM be 2G-only or it can also support 3G/4G?

Yeah the snapdragon is a mid range chipset also found in htc desire series while the exynos was last years flagship chipset. Quite the difference imo.

Really surprised that this fantastic phone has so little attention in this forum. It retains the premium built quality, far slimmer and sleeker, comes with microsd support and better battery life as compared to the clunky note 4 and note 5.

To those who thinks local A8 sets are Exynos-based...

SM-A800F is using Snapdragon 615 according to GSMArena's specifications.

can anyone tell me how's the standby like?
when you don't use it, how many hours per % drop?
I sold note 5 as the battery dropped 1% every 1.5hr upon standby.

Both sim slots can support 4g/3g, even 4g+ also can support.

But not both 4G at same time right?

" Extract: To be clear, only the primary SIM supports LTE Category 6 network (that’s the fastest speed currently available, and the same network capability as the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2), while the secondary SIM will handle 2G data. "
