Disadvantages of Samsung Galaxy A8 Duos
Status: Device has been discontinued, which may affect software updates and support.
Memory: Limited RAM at 2GB which can hinder multitasking and performance with modern apps.
OS: Comes with Android 5.1 (Lollipop) and only upgradable to 6.0 (Marshmallow), missing out on newer Android features and security updates.
SIM Slot: Hybrid Dual SIM, meaning the second SIM slot is shared with the microSD card, forcing a choice between dual SIM functionality and storage expansion.
NFC: Lacks NFC support, limiting its usability for contactless payments and data exchange in supported regions.
USB: Uses microUSB 2.0 instead of the more modern USB-C standard.
Performance: Uses older chipsets (Snapdragon 615 and Exynos 5430), which might not provide optimal performance for demanding applications and games.
Battery: Non-removable battery which could be inconvenient in case of battery failure or when a quick swap is needed.
