The unannounced phablet sports a 5.7-inch full-HD Super AMOLED display and a fingerprint sensor doubling as the home button.

The Samsung phablet has surfaced on the Web multiple times in the past few weeks.

The brochure, over the above-mentioned specifications, added that the Galaxy A8's rear camera features an f/1.9 aperture while the smartphone is said to be powered an octa-core Exynos 5430 SoC. However, it has been speculated that the single-SIM version might run on Exynos SoC and the dual-SIM version on Snapdragon 615.
