While most manufacturers started making simple retractable front cameras, Samsung turned in the direction of a more complex path and tried to revive rotating cameras. The Galaxy A80 model became a pen test, where the camera unit was hidden in the slider module.
One camera for two
As a result of this focus, the same camera is used as both the main and the front. When the second option is needed, the slider moves up and the optics turns to face the user. The main advantage of this approach is that the quality of the selfie is now as high as the main photos. Plus there are no cutouts in the display. Of the minuses, we note the slowness of the turn — switching takes a few seconds.
Almost top camera phone
The camera itself is triple and includes a 48 MP sensor with an ultra wide-angle lens (123-degree field of view, f / 2.0 aperture), an 8-megapixel auxiliary module and a 3D module for determining the depth of the scene. There are no questions about the quality of photos, the level here is very close to the top. Although, at $700, it should be top-end, just look at how the OnePlus 7 Pro takes pictures.
Quality materials
The level of performance here corresponds to the price: a double-glass case with an aluminium frame on the sides, an excellent Super AMOLED display, performant hardware and a rich functional set, including an NFC module, fast charging, an under-screen fingerprint scanner.
The little brother of the Galaxy S
In terms of filling, the A80 is pure water the younger brother of the flagship Galaxy S. It has an octa-core Snapdragon 730 instead of the top 855, but it has 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. For a price of $700, I would like a top-end processor, but apparently Samsung decided not to compete with its own products. But even so, it's quite good — in synthetic tests, the A80 gives an indicator of last year's flagships and can slow down only in the most demanding games at maximum graphics settings.
