New Samsung Galaxy A80 Launches With a Rotating Camera
Samsung Electronics revealed the new Galaxy A80 – a smartphone created for those using their smartphones to share live interactions.
The Galaxy A80 offers a full-screen display, Samsung’s first rotating camera and an intelligent battery.
The Galaxy A80 lets people capture the world around them. When you select the selfie mode in the camera app, the three cameras automatically pop-up from the back of the phone and rotate. The camera mechanism delivers the same triple camera experience with the same high-resolution lens, front and rear.
The A80 comes equipped with a 48MP main camera, a 3D Depth camera with Live Focus videos and an Ultra Wide angle lens with the same viewing angle as the human eye.
The Super Steady video mode helps you capture content by reducing video shake to ensure smooth action videos. Other intelligent camera features include the Scene Optimizer, which can recognize and enhance up to 30 scenes. In addition, the Flaw Detection automatically identifies glitches before you click.
The smartphone comes with Samsung’s first 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED New Infinity Display. It supports Dolby Atmos when using earphones or Bluetooth speakers.
The Galaxy A80’s 3,700mAh battery and its Super-Fast Charging at 25W capabilities keep you connected for longer. The device also features an intelligent battery which learns your daily routine and app usage patterns to optimize your phone’s power consumption.
The Intelligent Performance Enhancer provides AI-powered performance optimization software, which adjusts the battery, CPU and RAM of your device based on your usage, helping your phone work harder and launch apps faster when you need them.
Bixby Routines helps keep you on track by learning your app usage patterns and analyzing your habits so that it knows which features you need, when you need them. Bixby Routines automates your everyday tasks and apps based on your routine, such as driving or being at work.
The device is fortified by Samsung Knox, Samsung’s defense-grade security platform designed to protect from chipset to software. This allows you to use Samsung Pass to access apps and websites by using biometric authentication. To increase ease-of-use, a fingerprint scanner was embedded on-screen.
The Galaxy A80 includes button-activated or hands-free Bixby. You can also access other features such as Bixby Vision, Bixby Home, and Reminder while on-the-go. The Galaxy A80 also features key Galaxy experiences including Samsung Health, Samsung Pay and more.
The Galaxy A80 is available in three colors: Angel Gold, Ghost White and Phantom Black. The Angel Gold color includes elements of pink, while the Ghost White option combines some blue characteristics, so these colors look different depending on light direction and reflection.
The Galaxy A80 will launch on May 29th, joining the Galaxy A10, A20, A30, and A50, which have all been announced in recent months. Pricing for the Galaxy A80 and A70 is yet to be announced.
