Samsung appears to be getting ready to release the Galaxy A8 (2016), as more details, including specifications and pictures, have been leaked over the last few weeks. Now, the company's server has listed the user manual of the device, giving a good picture of what it will look like.

The South Korean electronics giant is tight-lipped on the release date of the Galaxy A8 (2016) but it is expected to happen soon, as it has already cleared Bluetooth certification. It was reported that the device might come in August, as its predecessor was released during that time of year in 2015, but it didn't come true.

The user manual for the Galaxy A8 (2016) on Samsung servers has revealed that it will have a design similar to its predecessor, but with the metal back replaced with glass. The device will feature the Grace UX, which is seen in the Galaxy Note 7, and runs Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow operating system. It will also come with Samsung Pay, NFC, Multi Window, Wide Selfie, Ultra Power Saving Mode, Game Tools, and Smart Manager.

Leakster Steve Hemmerstoffer aka @OnLeaks had earlier tweeted that the device will measure 156.5x77.5x7.3 mm in dimension, which is slimmer that the Galaxy Note 7's 153.5x73.9x7.9 mm.

According to AnTuTu, Samsung's new device with model number SM-A810F, believed to be the SM-A810F, will feature a full HD (1920x1080p) display, an Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, an Exynos 7420 octa-core CPU, a Mali-T760 graphics engine, a 3GB RAM, a 64GB internal memory, an 8MP main camera and a 5MP front-snapper.

However, GFXBench site has listed the Galaxy A8 (2016) with a 5.1-inch display and 1,080x1,920 resolution, an Exynos 7420 processor with an octa-core 2.1GHz CPU, a Mali-T760 MP8 GPU, a 32GB internal memory, a 3GB RAM, a 16MP main camera, and a 5MP front-snapper.
