Samsung Galaxy A8s was launched in China on Monday, sporting the anticipated Infinity-O Display. This is also the smartphone's biggest differentiating point, the fact that it sports a true bezel-less display screen, with a small hole in the display to house the selfie camera. Samsung calls it the Infinity-O Display and with the new hole-in-the-screen design, it tries to change things up by letting go of the notch trend. Other key highlights of the phone include a triple rear camera setup, up to 8GB of RAM, and a rear fingerprint sensor as well. Notably, Honor unveiled the Honor V20 on Monday as well, in what appears to be a bid to upstage Samsung as the first brand with a display hole for a selfie camera.

Samsung has not yet announced the price of the Galaxy A8s smartphone, but it is set to come in 6GB RAM + 128GB storage and 8GB RAM + 128GB storage options. It will go for pre-order in China soon, which is presumably when the company will announce pricing details as well. The smartphone is set to come in Black (Green), Blue, and Silver colour options in China.
