VFM phone from Samsung.
On8 is a good phone. Full HD SUPER AMOLED SCREEN.3300 MAH BATTERY. 3GB RAM & GOOD CAMERA are the highlights.
It's okay at 13000 (410 for 32 gb card). And m damn sure will come to 12999 without any offer on flipkart soon.
But there are certain CONS too. NO GORILLA GLASS.NO FINGERPRINT SCANNER. NO GYROSCOPE(BIG LETDOWN FOR ME). NO IR BLASTER. NO MAGNETIC SENSOR.
Many people here are blaming Samsung for having cheated them by providing A Modified J7. I don't pay two hoots to whether it is rebranded j7/a5/xyz As long as I am getting the specs I want at a great price. So what if it's a repacked j7? Is j7 a bad phone! Certainly not,and much better than other Chinese craps which show their true colours after six months.
I appreciate Samsung for this product with this pricing. It's a welcome change from greedy Sammy. Here also they gave 3gb Ram, full hd resolution, but still hold back on above mentioned CONS.(resolution:some are doubting over even this.rest assured ,definitely it's full hd.do you think Samsung is nuts to provide hd & claim as full hd.) even with these most important features that really matter, I would definitely recommend this device for or below 13k, but NEVER for 15-16k!
So , for those who have already purchased, greetings on their purchase, for others who missed,just wait for the price to come to 12999 or below,for that price,definitely it's not a bad phone, but is worth every penny.
I hope the made in India product doesn't have any quality control issues like other players. Though, till now I haven't spotted any in mine.
Hope Samsung adds the remaining few SELLING features to complete the package soon for below 15k as an ON9 or ON8+, which would truly throw away the competition in true sense.
It doesn't have fast charging? Maybe yes, as it's showing my 2.1 Amp portronics charger as 'charging via USB, estimated time for full charge 9hours or so..' but surprisingly , its getting charged comparatively faster (below 2 hours maybe) with the 2 Amp port of my TPLINK 10000 Mah powerbank, and at that time not showing as 'USB charging', but as 'AC charging' like provided charger.
with provided charger it would easily take 3 hours plus to fully charge.
Moral: it does support fast charging, but not thaat fast.
