Samsung has officially launched the Galaxy A80 with a rotatable camera module for Rs. 47,990 in India. The Galaxy A80 is the most expensive A-series smartphone from the company and costs just Rs. 3,000 less than the Samsung Galaxy S10e.

It is also the first device to launch in India, featuring the all-new Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G SoC. Besides, it has a rotatable camera module, which is also new for the A-series of smartphones. Here is everything you need to know about the latest entrant:

Samsung Galaxy A80 Specifications

The smartphone has a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, which is free from notches and offers a completely bezel-less design, similar to the Redmi K20. The phone features an optical in-display fingerprint sensor and also supports face unlock. The phone flaunts a 3D glass design with metallic mid-frame, making it look classy.

The Galaxy A80 is also the only smartphone in the world based on the Snapdragon 730G chipset backed by Adreno 618 GPU and the phone offers Android 9 Pie OS with One UI skin on top. The chipset is coupled with 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. There is no option for memory expansion, which is a bummer. Nevertheless, the smartphone does feature dual SIM card slots with support for 4G LTE and VoLTE on both slots.

Coming to the differentiating factor, it's the dual-camera setup. The camera module houses a 48MP sensor and an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens with a 3D Depth sensor. Thanks to the rotating camera technology, the primary camera setup also works as a selfie camera, making it one of the highest resolution front-facing camera setup until date.

A 3700 mAh Li-ion battery powers the smartphone with support for 27W fast charging via USB Type-C. However, the device does missout on a headphone jack.

Price And Availability

Retailing at Rs. 47,990, the Samsung Galaxy A80 will be available in Angel Gold, Ghost White, and Phantom Black colors. Pre-booking will open from July 22 and the device will be available for sale starting August 1st.
