Overall Score: 3.0/5
Overview:
The Galaxy A80 is a mid-range smartphone from Samsung that aims to offer a unique blend of features at a relatively reasonable price point. It stands out for its innovative rotating camera design and a true all-screen display. However, it isn't quite as powerful as its premium-level counterparts, and it also lacks a few features you might expect from a smartphone in its price range.
Price: 3.5/5
The A80 is not exactly cheap, but for the unique design and features it offers, it could be viewed as a reasonable purchase. It's priced above many other mid-range phones but below Samsung's flagship models. However, compared to other smartphones in the same price range, it does lack some key features such as waterproofing and wireless charging.
Camera: 4.5/5
The A80 shines with its unique rotating camera - a feature that truly sets it apart. The rotating triple-lens setup, including a 48MP main sensor, an ultra-wide 8MP sensor, and a 3D depth sensor, serves as both the rear and front camera.

This means that you get the same high-quality photos and videos whether you're shooting the scenery or taking a selfie.
Power: 3/5
Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G, the Galaxy A80 offers decent performance. It's capable of handling most tasks with ease, but it's not quite up to par with the flagship phones running on more robust chips. For average users, the power it provides should be sufficient, but if you're a heavy gamer or power user, you might find
