> "There's more to a phone than just RAM. Or a specs list"

Maybe that's why my _main_ complaints about Samsung flagships are their usability and convenience? :)

    The right question is:
    "Why should I need more than 4GB of RAM to be so desperately hating phones that don't have as much RAM?"
    There's more to a phone than just RAM. Or a specs list

        If you say Fort of the night then you need to check what need means

          Walter C. Dornez, 09 Mar 2019And why is that? The phone's pretty good and has all you need, minus battery and quick updates- screen is curved which is unnecessary (you can make thin side bezels without it), uncomfortable to hold and distorts content;
          - fingerprint reader is too close to camera (or vice versa) which is, again, uncomfortable;
          - "iris scanner" is a gimmick but costs money;
          - 4 Gb of RAM is too low for the price;
          - high resolution screen (if considered necessary because of PenTile) needs more battery capacity;
          - however, first two clauses are enough to consider it a bad smartphone :)

                    Can the update OS make Galaxy A8+/A8 2018 slow in performance? Is it better to stick with the original factory OS (i.e. Nougat or Oreo recently) ?
