The mid-range Samsung Galaxy A80 has an interesting solution to the notch issue-- a rear-facing camera able to slide upwards before automatically rotating to handle selfie duties, allowing use of an "Infinity" notchless display.
The pop-up camera is technically a 3-camera array consisting of a main 48MP f/2.0 shooter, an ultra-wide 8MP f/2.2 camera and a Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor. The result, Samsung says, allows users to shoot vivid photos during both day and night, while the ToF sensor creates Life Focus videos by scanning objects for measurement and depth.
As for the rest of the phone, the Galaxy A80 offers a 6.7-inch 1080 x 2400 resolution Super AMOLED display, together with 8GB RAM, 128GB storage, in-display fingerprint scanner and a 3700mAh battery complete with 25W fast charging. "Intelligent Performance Enhancer" software adjusts battery, CPU and RAM according to user habits, while Bixby Routines learn app usage patters to automate everyday tasks and app routines.
The Galaxy A80 launches on May 2019 in a choice of 3 colours, gold, white and black.
