On Wednesday, Samsung revealed the Galaxy A8, which measures just 5.9 millimeters (0.23 inches) thick -- making it the phone manufacturer's thinnest phone yet.
三星周三發(fā)布了僅厚5.9毫米（0.23英寸）的Galaxy A8, 它也成為了三星手機(jī)制造商目前最薄的一款手機(jī)。

It's slimmer than its predecessor, the wispy Galaxy A7 (6.3 mm), as well as the S6 Edge (7.1 mm). Its display measures 5.7 inches, larger than the A7 (5.5 inches) and the S6 Edge (5.1 inches). The A8 also comes with a 3,050 mAh battery, larger than that of the A7 and S6, both of which had 2,600 mAh batteries. Weighing 151 grams, the A8 is actually a little heavier than the A7 (141 grams).
Galaxy A8比三星前款纖細(xì)Galaxy A7（厚6.3毫米）以及S6 Edge（厚7.1毫米）都薄。Galaxy A8的顯示屏長(zhǎng)5.7英寸，比5.5英寸的A7和5.1英寸的S6 Edge還大。A8還配置了一個(gè)3050毫安時(shí)的電池，容量要比配有2600毫安時(shí)電池的A7和S6多。Galaxy A8僅重151克，實(shí)際上比A7(141克)重。

Samsung this week launched the Galaxy A8 in China, where it will sell for about $515. There's no exact release date for the A8 just yet, and no firm word on whether it's coming to the U.S.
三星這周在中國發(fā)布了Galaxy A8，它的售價(jià)將約為515美元。目前Galaxy A8在美國具體的發(fā)布日期還未可知，關(guān)于它何時(shí)能在美國上市也毫無定論。

The Verge noted that the Galaxy A8 is not the thinnest phone on the market today -- phones like the Vivo X5 Max in China and the Oppo R5 are 4.75 and 4.85 mm thick respectively.
The Verge（美國的一家科技媒體公司）表示Galaxy A8并不是如今市面上最薄的手機(jī)，像是中國的Vivo X5 Max和Oppo R5分別厚4.75和4.85毫米。

Still, the A8 is slimmer when compared to the iPhone 6 (6.9 mm) -- and rumor has it that Apple isn't desperate to make thinner phones any time soon.
但和厚6.9mm的iPhone6相比，Galaxy A8還是更纖細(xì)。而且有謠言流傳，蘋果不久將推出更薄的手機(jī)。

Super-slim handsets usually come with a trade-off. As The Wall Street Journal reported in February, the larger the phone, the better the battery. With more space, manufacturers can "cram" more battery inside. The A8's big battery might actually save it here, though.
