Wow. I know it's only been 5 years. But looking at this phone it really does look like a design from 5 years ago that never took off. Somehow folding phones survived that time.
well the display and performance are both better on the a80 so 2/3 points are invalid as well as a plasticky build quality, unless your gaming this phone is gonna be much better to use (the a80 that is).
I don't know why you hate this phone... i have this phone and i can say is the best phone. Phone is fast as samsung s10e and battery can live all day without problem and camera is good. I agree the phone is overpriced, if you have no money for it don't hate phone
Worst variant of A 2019 series yet, no headphone jack, no microsd slot, small battery. Sd 730g is decent for midranger but around A80's price there are many better options that offers sd855 like Asus Zenfone 6 and Redmi K20 Pro. Really disappointed with Samsung on this one.
They had a pretty good value , if you compare it to their flagship, and not everyone need that flagship chipset, but a lot of people need that flagship quality camera, just take a look at pixel 3a xl, priced similarly, and even have worst value compare to this phone
@@ezrapardede1921 the camera performance is yet to be examined. But as soon as I looked at this review, and they showed A80's camera results, I'm not impressed at all. I'm flustered by the confusion this phone wants to offer, everything looks average and underwhelming except the price. The same could be applied to Pixel 3a XL, but as we know its camera is still up to flagship's mark to say the least.
I have Samsung A50, and I'm really satisfied with it. This one doesn't excite me as much as A50 and A70 somehow, cause I know bezelless beasts like Zen 6 and K20 Pro are around, ofc talking about overall specifications, not only about the SoC, they still edge A80 hard.
@@nikkisamuasa i see your point, it's have mid range processor but its too expensive to be a midrange, yet it don't have quite a flagships camera quality for it to justify the premium, the only thing that closes it self to the flagship is its metal and glass back, but even that so, it is lacking the water proofing of the ''genuine" flagship device
I'm getting the A80 because it's now cheaper (on offer) than the A70. The lack of expandable storage is a big blow for me. The lack of a headphone jack not so much as I have a pair of decent Bluetooth headphones. Manufacturers drop the jack to get customers to buy their own headphones.
I just bought the phone and do not let the reviews fool you,the fone is amazing! It has a lot of on board memory, there is no need for extra. Secondly they say it has no headphone jack, another lie. You plug in headphones on the charging outlet and works like a charm. It comes with an original case,debunking claims that you can't put a cover. The only slight downside is it is slightly heavy,so for gym rats like me it becomes slightly inconvenient to carry. Otherwise overally it's a great phone for the price i got it for at least. I'm happy
Been using my A80 (Angel Gold variant) for almost 2 years now and I love it. This phone doesn't look cheap at all because of its metal frame. I never encountered a problem at all with its motorized camera. Been using the camera 3x every day for video calling and it's always been so smooth.
Headphone jacks aren't present on most of the flagship phones like the xperia 1 and the p30 pro, usb c converters or usb c earphones can be used anyway

This is probably just a test to see how market reacts and to figure out manufacturing and day to day user issues before they do the same with new Galaxy S and Note phones, only implemented much better.
Samsung is very innovative. Thinking outside the box. While other manufacturers (apple) are changing the size of their phones along with tweaks to their software, and renaming it. People should appreciate that.
Besides the fact that you'll struggle getting a decent case for this, it looks awesome! Until they get the selfie camera to work under the screen (potentially doable) then this is probably the best solution though. Anything with a notch - forget it!

Ignore the stupid comments from others who just chase headline specs. It comes down to what you want. If you're looking for a phone with the best experience and something to show off to your friends and strangers, who will think you're the boss with a pop up and rotating camera, then the A80 is the obvious choice.
