The Samsung Galaxy A80 is a mid-range to high-range Android smartphone manufactured by Samsung Electronics as part of its fifth-generation Galaxy A series lineup. It was launched at the Samsung Galaxy Event in Bangkok, Thailand on April 10, 2019, and released on May 29, 2019. [3] 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.

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. [8] It also introduced a rotating camera; the back facing camera slides up and rotates forward automatically when put in selfie mode. [9]

Software

The Samsung Galaxy A80 runs on Android 9.0 (Pie) with One UI. The phone has many features including Bixby, Samsung Pay, Samsung Health, and Samsung Knox. [10]

As of February 2022, it supports One UI 3.1 with Android 11. Samsung also promises 4 years of security updates for this device, so users will get updates up to 2023.

Reception

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." [11]
