Buy a Galaxy A8 or A8+ at the Samsung roadshow and get an awesome theft-proof bag

The midrange premium Samsung Galaxy A8 and its larger sibling the Galaxy A8+ have just been launched in Malaysia and are making their rounds around the country with a series of roadshows nationwide. If you have an eye on getting one, now’s the chance as buying either phone can get you a slick looking anti-theft backpack.

The Samsung roadshows, which are taking place in Malaysia let you get an up-close look at both phones and test out for yourself as to just what they’re made of.

If you drop by the Samsung roadshow and if you’re the first 100 customers to buy either phone at each of the three roadshow locations, you’ll get, on the house, a Samsung-branded anti-theft backpack which looks the business and which will keep your kit safe from larcenous hands.

To wit, both phones are water resistant and have a dual front-facing selfie camera as well as a large wide-angle Infinity display on the front. Other mod-cons include fast charging and Samsung Pay support too, making them very competent workhorses.

Where they vary is that the Galaxy A8 has 4GB RAM and 32GB of storage along with a 5.6-inch display and a 3,000mAh battery while the larger A8+ has a 6.0-inch display and 6GB RAM paired with 64GB of storage and a larger 3,500mAh battery. We reviewed the Galaxy A8 and found it to be a slick offering with many features culled from the higher-end S8 at a commensurately lower price tag.

The Galaxy A8 roadshow will take place from 7 to 11 February at Sunway Pyramid at the Blue Concourse. From 21 to 25 February, it will take place at Midvalley Mega Mall at the ground floor of the east atrium. On 1 to 4 March, it will take place at East Coast Mall on the ground floor at Walkway Zone 2.
