NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
The Samsung Galaxy A27 is the most complete choice for performance, a smoother display, and 5G. The Galaxy A18 4G is the better fit for photography and software updates, while the Galaxy A08 4G is worth choosing only if it costs less, with its 6,000mAh battery.
The A27 has 8GB of RAM versus 4GB in both the A18 4G and A08 4G, plus a 120Hz display instead of 90Hz. The A27 and A18 4G share Super AMOLED, 1,080 × 2,340 px, and 385 ppi; the A08 4G drops to PLS LCD, 720 × 1,600 px, and 262 ppi. For connectivity, the A27 adds 5G and Wi-Fi 6E, while the A18 4G stands out with direct OS updates and eSIM support.
The Galaxy A18 4G leads for selfies with a 13MP front camera versus 12MP on the A27 and 8MP on the A08 4G, and its main camera records 1080p video against the A27’s 4K at 30 fps. The A08 4G has the largest battery at 6,000mAh versus 5,000mAh in the other two, but it lacks a rear ultrawide camera and optical stabilization; its 4GB of RAM and 90Hz display also leave it behind.
