Samsung Galaxy A80 review By GSMArena Official

Hey, what's up guys will here for GSM marina? Recently, phone makers have been asking: why do you need cameras on both the front and the back of a phone? If you can just have a flip camera? Do it all the latest to try and make this work? It's a Samsung Galaxy a8, II, LLC I was able to pull it off in our for review. The Galaxy AAT is built of glass with a metal frame. Our model isn't phantom black and the curved back is shiny and mirror-like. It isn't a small phone and I wouldn't call it a lightweight one. Either it's pretty hefty. It is a bit slippery and there's no real edge on the rounded frame to grab onto the main attraction of the AAT.

Is the motorized selfie slider instead of hiding a selfie cam within the body of the phone, this one raises the main camera setup and then rotates it to face you. The effect is really cool, almost transformers s with its multiple moving parts. It does bring some concerns about structural integrity, though especially since, if it breaks down, you could be left without an useable camera at all, though it is possible to force the slide are open by hand, it isn't recommended, and the phone will yank the slider back in if he gives it a chance. Oh no, it is some really impressive engineering, but, needless to say, with these moving pieces, the Galaxy AAT isn't waterproof. The end result of using this slider is that you get a large screen with no forehead and no not cut out it's quite a clean and satisfying.

Look the displays a six point: seven inch, Super AMOLED with a 1080p resolution and a 20 by 9 aspect ratio at 393, PPI content looks great, and you get the deep blacks. Only an AMOLED can produce colors aren't the most accurate in the default vivid, color mode, though you can tweak them with sliders, but switching to neutral mode gives you great accuracy in RGB. Overall brightness is standard for a nice OLED display 405 nits maximum in manual mode and up to 607 it's in auto mode, in bright conditions and as an AMOLED. You get an always-on display to keep track of time and notifications. The screen is used for biometrics too.

There is an under display optical fingerprint scanner. It isn't very fast, but it gets the job done. Unfortunately, there's no face on lock. So this is your only option. Besides using a pen poor audio, the Galaxy AAT has a single loudspeaker at the bottom.

It is in a very good rating in our loudness test, and the quality is good too, with a decent amount of bass and no distortion at high volume. There is no audio jack for headphones on this model. You'll have to plug into the USB-C port. We didn't get a dongle with a review unit, though so we couldn't test headphone quality. Here you have 128 gigs of on-board storage on the Galaxy an 80.

It should be plenty of space for most use cases, but it's still too bad that you can't expand it to micros. The phone is running Samsung's latest one UI over android 9 pi the same software that we saw on the company's flagships. The interface is very clean and organized, and everything flows quite smoothly as you'd expect. This smooth performance is thanks in part to a new Snapdragon, 730 chipsets and eight gigs of ram in benchmarks. It blows away the other mid-range competition in CPU and GPU tests.

If you're looking for the most bang for your buck, though a flagship would give you even better performance for as much as the AAT costs, the phone is powered by a thirty-seven hundred million power battery, not bad, but a bit on the small side for a phone with such a large screen. When we ran our proprietary battery life tests, we got an endurance rating of 80 hours a bit below average. Charging speed should be quite fast, though, with support for a USB power delivery at 25 watts. Unfortunately, our review unit didn't come with a box, so we weren't able to clog charging speed, but Samsung says it will be able to get from 0 to 50 percent in half an hour. Let's take a closer look at the Galaxy, a 80s flipping, triple camera setup.

There's a 48 megapixel main snapper with a quad bear filter, an 8 megapixel, wide-angle cam, and a TOF sensor for depth. Information photos from the main camp come out in 12 megapixels and in good light. They look quite pleasant with good contrast and vibrant colors. Detail is adequate but not mind-blowing, and there is some visible noise. You have the option to put 48 megapixel photos, but there isn't much of a point to it.

These are a bit noisier with not much increased detail.8 megapixel shots with the ultra-wide cam Mary, but nothing special beyond the benefit of the water perspective. They aren't terrible, sharp and dynamic range is limited in low-light. Photos from the main cam are okay. Images are slightly soft and come out a bit on the darker side. If you switch on the new night mode, results are noticeably better with preservation of detail and highlights and shadows and more saturated colors.

There's a bit of extra detail to the ultra-wide camera is quite poor in low-light, which is hardly surprising. It captures soft and noisy underexposed photos, there's no night mode available for this camera now under the main camp selfies and a bit of disappointment. One of the main benefits you'd imagine is that you get to use the autofocus for your selfie shots, but for some reason the phone disables that and leaves you with arm's length, fixed focus. You don't even get to use a regular flash as far as quality goes, it's okay with good detail and true-to-life skin tones by default. You get a tighter crop shot of about 8 megapixels, but you can go wider to get the full 12 for an even wider shot.

Furthermore, you can take an ultra wide-angle selfie. We weren't happy with a white balance, though, which kept shifting quite dramatically based on the lighting in portrait mode or live focus as Samsung calls it. The TOF sensor seems to really pull its weight subject. Separation is quite capable and the D focus background looks convincing. Selfie portraits are just as nice, but like the other selfies, they again suffer from not having autofocus.

You also have the option for live focus, video which only works in 1080p and the edge detection isn't stellar. It's a neat idea, though. Regular video can be recorded at up to 4k at 30fps quality wise. These are excellent with an abundance of fine detail. Why dynamic range vibrant colors in almost no noise too bad? These aren't stabilized, so they probably aren't the best option for walking around or for vlogging and selfie mode.1080P videos have always-on electronic stabilization, though, but there is some visible wobble with the ultra webcam. You also have the option for super steady mode which further smoother out the footage making it essentially shake free in its normal shooting mode.

The ultra-wide camera is 1080p, footage is decent, but it isn't the sharpest and colors are a bit washed out looking. So that's the Samsung Galaxy 880. Overall, you get a nice bezel of Sam'l egg, with no not a good chipset, a decent camera and that unique pop-up mechanism that can dazzle your friends. However, as a mid-range her, there's a lot more to be desired here. Battery life is unimpressive, you don't get expandable storage and then there's a worry about the sturdiness of the slider plus, not allowing the camera to use the autofocus in selfie mode.

That's pretty disappointing at around 650 euros, the galaxy a8 II doesn't offer the same amount of value that you get from other mid-rangers or even some flagships, the unique feature. The flip cam has been done better elsewhere on the central and 6. So unless the price goes down here is tough to recommend this one. Thanks for watching guys and see you next time.
