Samsung appears to be planning to completely revamp the design and launch strategy for its Galaxy A-Series smartphones. While the Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) and Galaxy A5 (2018) have already appeared in several leaks, a fresh leak now points to the Galaxy A8+ (2018) sporting an Infinity Display as well - first seen in the Samsung Galaxy S8 earlier this year.
As per a couple of images leaked on Weibo, the Samsung Galaxy A8+ (2018) appears to sport an Infinity Display, however, the one obviously can't tell from the leaked image if it bears the more conventional 18:9 aspect ratio, or Samsung's 18.5:9 ratio that's seen on the Samsung Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+, and Galaxy Note 8. Previous rumours however, have indicated the use of the 18:9 display for the Galaxy A-Series phones. The new Infinity Display also means that the home button will now be a thing of the past for yet another device from the South Korean giant.
There is no mention of the internals of Samsung Galaxy A8+ (2018) - though the SM-A730F/DS model name was spotted - or even the back of the smartphone, putting these details features up for speculation. Some rumours suggest a dual camera setup on the rear as well as a fingerprint sensor below the camera module.
Separately, a Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) model is also expected to launch, a more basic or smaller version of the Galaxy A8+ (2018). To recall, we recently covered leaked specifications for upcoming devices in the Galaxy A Series. In October, a Geekbench listing had emerged alongside leaked renders, detailing the Galaxy A7 (2018). That listing hinted at the use of Android Nougat on the next-generation Galaxy A7 alongside an octa-core Exynos 7885 processor at a clock speed of 1.59GHz and 6GB of RAM. Moreover, the leaked renders suggested a bezel-less display on the Galaxy A7 (2018) and a dedicated Bixby Voice button.
As for the Samsung Galaxy A5 (2018), leaked case renders recently indicated the use of a similar bezel-less Infinity Display.
All three Samsung Galaxy A-Series smartphones can be expected to launch in late 2017 or early 2018.
