So, in the end, it all comes down to whether you should buy the A80 or not. But that's a tricky question because this one does cost a good amount of money, although little less than the flagship, and other than the rotating camera mechanism, it does fall back against S10 in a majority of the aspects...

had to return this ou can only hear people with headphone in if used normally its very low in hearing people even with the volume up had to return it

I bought it on the 4th of December 2019 to replace my 2 year old S8. I was drawn to it because of the camera and rather than splurging on the Note 10, I thought I should save myself some $$$ by not buying flagship but still an incredible phone.

Despite the omission of several features, the Galaxy A80 is still an impressive smartphone. As the flagship device in the Galaxy A series, it exudes a premium feel and build, and boasts some clever engineering and overall strong hardware.

Bold; premium design; Excellent build quality; Big; bright screen; Good performance overall; Generous memory and storage; That trick rotating camera; Above average camera performance; In-display fingerprint scanner; Super fast-charging + 25W fast charger bundled; Excellent bundled protective case

Average battery life; No headphone jack; No microSD expansion; No stereo speakers; audio could be louder; No Face Unlock; Fingerprint scanner could be more accurate; faster; better; That annoying Bixby Vision button; Premium price

The competitive push to make an "all-screen" phone has by now resulted in some pretty head-scratching design decisions. Starting with Apple's wide notch and ending with Samsung's display holes, they've done lasting aesthetics damage that was pretty much uncalled for - they could all learn something...

Big; uninterrupted; high-quality display; New Infinity design lets you take selfies with the best camera on the phone; Eye-pleasing; functional OneUI; Handy in-screen finger scanner; Very fast charging

Camera performance could be better; especially in low light; Middling battery life for the unit capacity; No notification LED and the AoD alternative is a battery hog; Weight and size are on the heavy and cumbersome side; Slow fingerprint reader

While the A80 is a very likeable and premium looking phone, though it's a mid-range handset. The rotating camera is a clever way to maximize the gorgeous display which is one of its strongest features, making it an ideal companion for those who often watch videos and films on their phones.

The Samsung A80 is a really interesting phone. We don’t yet know the price (although we suspect it will be around £500) but it should offer good value when compared to the flagship S10. For a younger consumer who lives their life through social networks, then it may well be more attractive than a lot of flagships. This appears to be a phone you can use to publicise your whole life with. Our only concern would be that mechanical telescopic camera, which we’d worry about breaking over time. But right now, colour us impressed with the Samsung A80. The Samsung A80 will be out on May 29th, price TBC. Look out for a full review very soon.
