The Samsung Galaxy A80 is a mid-range Android smartphone manufactured by Samsung Electronics as part of its fifth-generation Galaxy A series lineup. Running on the Android 11-based One UI 3.1 software, it was launched at the Samsung Galaxy Event in Bangkok, Thailand on April 10, 2019, and released on May 29, 2019.[2] Its most notable feature is its lack of a front facing camera, opting instead for a unique pop-up camera, allowing for a nearly bezel-less display.

Design

[edit]

Similar to that of the Galaxy A90 5G, it features an aluminum frame, glass back (protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 6), and glass front (protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 3).[3]

Hardware

[edit]

Display

[edit]

The Galaxy A80 has a 6.7-inch full-HD+ (2400x1080 pixels) Super AMOLED "New Infinity Display" with a 20:9 aspect ratio. It is the first and only Samsung phone that doesn't use a notch or a punch-hole display.[4]

Battery

[edit]

The phone also comes with a 3700 mAh battery and 25W Super Fast Charging technology.[5][6]

Processor and Memory

[edit]

The phone is powered by the then-newly unveiled Snapdragon 730 SoC, an octa-core processor. It was available in only one configuration, featuring 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. It is the first among the Galaxy Ax0 lineup to not feature a microSD card slot.[3]

Camera

[edit]

The Samsung Galaxy A80 is equipped with a triple-camera array consisting of a main 48-megapixel camera, flanked by an ultrawide 8-megapixel camera, and a ToF sensor.[7] It also introduced a rotating camera; the back facing camera slides up and rotates forward automatically when put in selfie mode.[8]

Software

[edit]

The Samsung Galaxy A80 has Android 9.0 (Pie) with One UI 1.0 pre-installed.[9]

Reception

[edit]

John McCann from TechRadar enjoyed the pop-up camera, notchless screen, and ample power and storage; however, he expressed concerns regarding its durability, a lack of headphone jack, and the build's thick grip. Overall, he said: "Don't be put off by the pop-up, rotating camera gimmick. It's fun to use, but the Samsung Galaxy A80 looks to be much more than just a one-trick pony."[12]
