Samsung Galaxy A80 Rumored Pricing

Back in April, when the Galaxy A80 was announced, it was launched with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage space. While speculations hint that the device could be priced at Rs. 39,990, which itself seems to be a hefty pricing, there are gossips that another variant could be launched for Rs. 44,990. Notably, this positions the Galaxy A80 just below the Galaxy S10e, which is an affordable variant of the flagship S10 series.

Unique Rotating Camera Module

The USP of this Samsung smartphone is the presence of the unique rotating triple camera module. The device offers a triple camera set up at the back with a 48 MP primary camera, 8 MP super wide-angle lens, and a third Time Of Flight sensor. The device does not have a dedicated front-facing camera and the primary camera setup acts as a selfie camera with a rotating mechanism.

Is It Worth The Expected Price?

As mentioned above, word is that the Samsung Galaxy A80 could be priced between Rs. 40,000 and Rs. 45,000. If this pricing turns out to be true, then this device is definitely expensive. Given that the flagship OnePlus 7 with high-end specifications such as Snapdragon 855 SoC is priced starting from Rs. 32,999, this device is definitely more expensive for the specs it comes with.

However, it will quench the needs of those who want a unique smartphone with rotating cameras. So, the price you pay will be mainly for the fancy camera module and design language.
