I wouldn't deny that happened on their current 810 but really stop justifying their whole product just from one example.

                As quoted from gsmarena review of the Galaxy A8:
                "The other version of Galaxy A8 uses Snapdragon 615, a 28nm chip. True, it lacks the fast, power-hungry Cortex-A15 cores, but we expect different results due to the older manufacturing process."

                The snapdragon 615 version is definitely slower and inferior compared to the exynos version but how does it tell that the device overheats or not?

I need more battery back up and high speed internet as I have to us... morebut make sure you are getting an Exynos chipset variant. Don't buy A8 if you are getting Snapdragon 615 chipset variant in your region. You can verify it with your local vendor.

                              This is suggested because Snapdragon 615 heats a lot and consumes battery more than average.

Usuallly all vendors have 4-5 days return back policy in which they hand you a new phone.

                                  Speaker position is definitely on the wrong side if you consider other phones with front facing speakers or at the bottom like iPhones.

                                  Regarding lag in UI, YES. While surfing through home screen the UI lags sometimes but this lag is unklike previous samsung phones. It doesn't hinder your experince while switching apps or playing games.
