Samsung Galaxy A8+ comes with glass and metal frame sandwich design, and as well dust and water resistance. Similarly, the OnePlus 5T has an all aluminium body construction while the Honor View 10 packs a sleek unibody design.

The A8+ standouts from the crowd with their display which is a trendy bezel-less 6-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display with 18.5:9 aspect ratio. Though the OnePlus 5T has a similar 6.01-inch optic AMOLED display with 18:9 aspect ratio, the Honor View 10 uses a rather older LCD technology. And we all Samsung is the leader when it comes to smartphone displays.

The Galaxy A8+ also is on par with the other two, packing Samsung Exynos 7885 octa-core SoC, with two cores clocked at a 2.2GHz and six cores clocked at 1.6GHz. It features 6GB of RAM. Though not as powerful as top-line Snapdragon 835 SoC of OnePlus 5T and Kirin 970 SoC on the View 10, but the device still can easily run the most games and apps.
