The Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge are certainly the highlights of Samsung’s smartphone lineup right now, but they’re just two of dozens of handsets the company makes. There are plenty more to come as well, and one in particular has been getting a bit of buzz among Android fans as leaks trickled out.

Now, those leaks have given way to a full-on flood, as Samsung’s unreleased Galaxy A8 smartphone gets fully exposed in a new video.

Leaked specs have painted a respectable picture of the upcoming Galaxy A8, which is said to feature a 5.7-inch full HD display, an octa-core Snapdragon 615 processor, 2GB of RAM, microSD memory expansion, a 16-megapixel camera and a 3,050 mAh battery.

What’s most impressive about this phone though — especially considering the monster battery — is how thin it is. According to rumors, the phone measures just 5.9mm thick. To put that in perspective, Apple’s iPhone 6 measures 6.9mm thick.

If it sounds impressive, that’s because it is. And now, any remaining mystery is gone thanks to a leaked hands-on Galaxy A8 video dug up on Chinese gadget site Tenaa by Nowhereelse.

Here’s the full video:
