Samsung’s take on a big notch-less & hole-less display with the Samsung Galaxy A80, was a bit different, to say the least. Although it looks flawless in terms of screen and quite innovative on the flip-up module, the phone was quite overpriced, especially, considering its caliber. Yeah, futuristic and expensive! But now, the Samsung Galaxy A80 is available for so much less than the original price, that we can’t help but be impressed by it.
Galaxy A80 Overview:
Samsung Galaxy A80 is, truly, bezel-less, has no notches, no punch holes. It’s just a big clean screen. Certainly, the type of phone that almost every smartphone lover wants to have in their pocket. To achieve the bezel-less characteristic, Samsung Galaxy A80 uses a camera that flips around, so basically, we’re looking at a rear camera, that’s also your front camera.
The triple rear cameras are a 48MP primary lens, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a TOF sensor. The wide-angle lens and the TOF sensor works while taking selfies as well as portraits. The cameras are great for the price and on par with Samsung’s flagship like the S10. It’s not quite there when it comes to video recording as the A80 lacks OIS and 4K@60fps feature. Having said that, the camera performance definitely better than the Redmi K20 Pro (Rs.49,000) and Oneplus 7 (Rs.66,999).
The Galaxy A80’s weak link has to be its chipset. It is powered by a Snapdragon 730, which isn’t the fastest chipset you can find. You can get the K20 Pro and Oneplus 7 that comes with the Snapdragon 855 which performs 30-40% better than the 730.
The Galaxy A80 also houses an optical in-display fingerprint sensor, which is not as fast as K20 Pro and Oneplus 7 but does a satisfactory job. It is backed by a 3700mAh battery with 25W fast charging.
