Netflix and Facebook also come preinstalled, which are always useful. The Galaxy A80 doesn't dish out ads, but I occasionally noticed banners promoting the A80 and the upcoming Galaxy Note 10 in the drop-down notification menu. The Galaxy A80 does not offer face unlock, which is disappointing for a phone priced at Rs 48, What's more disappointing, however, is optical fingerprint sensor which is laughably slow and inaccurate. Companies like Oppo and OnePlus offer faster in-display sensors, compared to which the A80's sensor feels frustratingly sluggish. There is a single speaker grille on the bottom that delivers decent loudness and clarity.
The Galaxy A80 also features Dolby Atmos, which offers a sweet surround sound experience when listening via headphones. The truly unique aspect about the Galaxy A80 is its rotating camera, allowing you to use the same triple rear camera system for selfies. When switching to the selfie mode, the top rear panel rises up and the camera system flips to the front.
The main camera shoots in 12MP resolution by default, but you can switch to raw 48MP mode by changing the aspect ratio to H.
Using the default mode, the sensor uses pixel binning to stitch together four shots to create one bright and attractive photo. This works well in daylight and is recommended for low-light as well. The 48MP mode is best used during daylight scenarios for capturing landscape and sceneries. While zooming into some 48MP shots, I found the details were not as sharp as I would have liked them to be, especially when compared to the Realme X, which uses the same 48MP Sony sensor.
Daylight photos using the 12MP mode look great with excellent dynamic range, contrast and exposure. You get the same results for selfies as well.
The 8MP ultra-wide angle mode will offer decent landscape shots, and it comes in handy for group selfies as well. The ToF camera comes into play for portrait shots, which look decent, but nothing exceptional. The iPhone XR tends to offer more natural-looking bokehs with better subject separation compared to the Galaxy A80, but you're likely to share the A80 portrait photo on social media as it looks brighter and more vibrant. Unfortunately, the Galaxy A80 struggles in low-light which is a real bummer, especially given the competition today and the price of the device. While the camera app comes with a dedicated Night mode, low-light photos captured look extremely average.
Photos do look slightly brighter but it does a choppy job at overexposing the photo while the AI does a poor job at reducing noise. Night mode only works with the main camera and cannot be used when using wide-angle mode. I also found it strange that the LED flash does not work in selfie mode, which means you have to rely on the display flash while taking selfies in low-light.
Selfies captured during daylight look extremely sharp and detailed via the main camera, which is what we expected to see. One would expect to see a large battery inside a phone with a big screen, but sadly that is not the case here. The Galaxy A80 houses a 3,mAh battery, which is smaller compared to most Galaxy A devices launched this year. So it doesn't come as a surprise that the Galaxy A80 does not deliver exceptional battery life. It is decent enough to take you through a full day. On days you don't use the A80 beyond messaging and social media browsing, you may even get a day and a half of battery life on a single charge.
The Galaxy A80 does come with an intelligent battery that will learn your daily routine and app usage to optimise the phone's power consumption, which is why I noticed minimal standby battery drain. Additionally, the device supports 25W fast charging, which takes about 80 minutes to charge the device from zero to per cent using the 25W charger that comes with the box. The Galaxy A80 offers a lot of new technologies that you won't find on any other Galaxy phone right now. Unfortunately, not all of them are worth praising. The rotating camera, while unique, feels slow and raises a lot of questions regarding its durability.
The Asus 6Z offers a better solution, in my opinion, by allowing you to control the motorised camera. That being said, the New Infinity display is a stunner as it offers an edge-to-edge, notchless screen that is immersive for media consumption. Priced at Rs 47,, the Galaxy A80 clearly feels overpriced. While the Snapdragon chipset is a snappy and smooth performer, it is still a mid-range processor that cannot compete against the likes of the Snapdragon , Kirin and Exynos chips found in phones priced similar to or well below the price of the A The cameras themselves also feel underwhelming.
It's hard to recommend the Galaxy A80 given the competition today. As much as Samsung wants this to be the flagship phone in the Galaxy A series, we feel that the company peaked with the Galaxy A70, which is what we would recommend even now if you're looking for a large-screen device.
