samsung galaxy a8 star

Ankush Dutta (Sep 22, 2018) on Gadgets 360

as i using a8star is just the wastage of money as there is no upgrade of things that samsung have made and samsung is moving around 6gb and 64gb .I think for 6gb and 64gb product cost is high and it is in segment of 20000 not 35000
