Samsung Galaxy A80: Things You Will Like About The Smartphone Unique Pop-up camera mechanism: This undoubtedly remains the most unique feature this smartphone boasts. Samsung Galaxy A80 features a staggering rotating camera. The main point of these rotating cameras is so users can utilize the same amazing cameras on the rear of the phone, and in front for selfies. If you are a photo lover and a fan of great pictures, then you will be especially excited with this smartphone. High-Quality Build: You just have to appreciate the build-up and design of this smartphone. Samsung decided to opt for an all-glass body design with a metal frame for their latest in the A-series lineup and has got fans buzzing. This means you can expect a more solid phone that is less prone to scratch like most other phones in the series. The A80 is Samsung’s first truly all-screen phone. There’s no pill-shaped Infinity-O cutout, no notch and practically no bezel. Instead, Samsung has combined the slide up mechanism we saw on the Oppo Find X with a clever rotating camera system to make a phone that should be an absolute must-have for selfie lovers.

The company has unveiled the device at an event in Bangkok today. We were on the ground and have already gone hands-on with the Galaxy A80. It's a pretty solid premium mid-range device with a unique camera that sets it apart from the competition. Memory size: User memory is less than the total memory due to storage of the operating system and software used to operate the phones features. Actual user memory will vary depending on the mobile phone operator and may change after software upgrades are performed.

After playing with the A80 for little over an hour it seems like Samsung is using it as a testing ground for new features it might eventually deem worthy enough of gracing its flagship line with. The rotating camera is a cool idea and including things like Super Fast charging and a ToF sensor makes me think that they were odd omissions on the S10, especially as that is meant to be the brand’s hero device. Battery time is based on our own laboratory measurements, and may vary depending on factors such as device settings, usage patterns and operating conditions.

Over the course of our review we started to feel rather nervous using the pop-up section because of its frailty – we all know what happened to the Samsung Galaxy Fold, and didn’t want to recreate it by breaking the moving parts of the A80 too.

The rotating triple camera is obviously the big new feature and you’re no doubt itching to hear all about it. The camera setup comprises of a 3D Depth module (specs unknown), an ultra-wide 8-megapixel f2.2 (128-degree) module and the primary 48-megapixel f.20 snapper. For a mid-range phone, this is a formidable arrangement and it’s even more impressive when you consider that it’s also the selfie camera! When you hit the lens flip button in the camera app, the entire camera panel slides upwards and the whole unit rotates on its X-axis, ready for wide-angle, high-quality self-portrait action. Network Band: The bandwidths supported by the device may vary depending on the region or service provider.The Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus may be Samsung’s headline-grabbers, but they’re hardly accessible to the average consumer. And that’s where the new Galaxy A Series phones come in. I’ve just been to the ”A Galaxy Event” in Milan and got early access to Samsung’s latest string of mid-range handsets, including the fascinating Galaxy A80, which has a rotating triple camera.
