The Samsung Galaxy A80 is a mid-range luxury 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.

Hardware

Display

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

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

Processor and Memory

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]

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

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

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." [12]
