The Samsung Galaxy A80: A Flagship-Inspired Phone with a Twist

Hey guys, Anton, a tech chap, here, and this is the Samsung Galaxy A80, Samsung's new upper mid-range flagship. Having a quick hands-on play with it, I couldn't help but wonder why there seems to be so much more innovation here than on their flagship S10 phones. The AAT's main focus is on the screen and the cameras, and it's Samsung's first phone to offer a completely edge-to-edge display. It's got a 6.7-inch infinity display with no notches, no hole punches, just a big uninterrupted AMOLED screen which looks great by itself.

But that's not all; the AAT also comes with a flippin' camera in another first for Samsung. We get a sliding pop-out camera that actually reverses the main rear-facing cameras to face you, so there's no separate selfie cam. This means you get the benefit of the three main cameras rather than usual one. You get a 48-megapixel f/2 main lens, an 8-megapixel F 2.2 ultra-wide lens, and a time-of-flight 3D depth lens for life focus in photos and even video. I mean aside from the AAT only the upcoming flagship S10 5g offers one of these. Samsung are pushing their era of live marketing as they see more people wanting to share live video and being creative on the go, and I suppose with the AAT it does make sense that if you use the better rear-facing cameras then you'll probably get better results.

SPECT-wise, there's 8 gigs of RAM, 128 gigs of built-in storage, and it uses an octa-core processor. Although in some regions, I believe it will use the new Snapdragon 730. There's a 37-hundred-milliamper-hour power battery which is okay but the cheaper A70 has a much more impressive 4,500 milliamp hour battery. But as that model misses out on the cool pop-up rotating camera, that's likely where they've been able to fit in the bigger battery. They should both charge pretty quickly though thanks to the 25-watts super-fast charger. The AAT also comes with an M-screen optical fingerprint reader but unfortunately it was disabled on these demo units so I'll test that properly in my full review.

Now, let's talk about some downsides of the AAT. There's no expandable storage and the headphone jack is finally known more after being one of the headphone holdout Samsung. It's finally caving in. I also did find the palm rejection a bit iffy with the screen being so close to the edge sometimes I had to readjust my grip before I could actually interact with the screen. Unfortunately, the compromise of this fancy new sliding camera on the AAT if it is forfeited any sort of IP ratings there's big questions about just how robust this will be over time and what happens if you get grit or sand in the mechanism again.

I'll test this out in my full review. The AAT will come in gold white and a fingerprint magnet black and it's available from the 29th of May early pricing indicates it'll be around 650 euros which means it will make for an interesting comparison with the Galaxy S10 II. I also got a quick hands-on with the new A7T which likes the reversible pop-up camera so the notches back but otherwise it still feels like a very solid if a bit less remarkable phone.

We also get a new Galaxy A10, A20, A40 and A50 there's definitely no shortage of galaxies this year. So, that's just a quick look at the new Samsung Galaxy A80 with its infinity edge full view screen and that really cool reversible flipping camera. Let me know what you make of the AAT in the comments and whether you go for this or maybe the S10 II.
