Samsung India has launched a new budget phone namely Galaxy A08. It sounds budget, but it really is not. The RAM getting expensive for phone makers has led to this device being over-priced. To compensate on the value, Samsung has added a large battery in the phone, in addition to announcing a super long software support. With a long software support, at least a user can continue using the device well into 2030s. Budget phones rarely get long software cycles, but this one has. Let’s look at the details below.
