Samsung Galaxy A80 is now available on open sale starting today.

The phone is available on Flipkart, Amazon and Samsung online store.

Earlier this week, Samsung launched the Galaxy A80 smartphone in the Indian market and the device was available for pre-order till July 31. The handset is now available for purchase in India and users can head to various e-commerce websites if they wish to purchase the phone. The USP of the phone is its triple camera that rotates inside the pop-up mechanism to work as the front shooter. Further, the phone has a 6.7-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED display, which is essentially the largest ever on a Samsung smartphone.

Samsung Galaxy A80 price and availability

The Galaxy A80 is currently available for purchase via Amazon, Flipkart, Tata Cliq and the Samsung India online store. The phone will also be up for grabs at retail stores and the Samsung Opera House. It is priced at Rs 47,990 and the company is offering a 5-percent discount on Citibank Credit Cards and up to Rs 3000 off on the exchange of an old phone. As of writing this story, all the three colours: Phantom Black, Angel Gold and Ghost White, are available on all the platforms.

Samsung Galaxy A80 specifications

The Samsung Galaxy A80 sports a rear glass panel curves along the edges, and the phone sports a near edge-to-edge display that stretches 6.7 inches diagonally. The panel delivers a resolution of 1080×2400 pixels and an aspect ratio of 20:1. The handset comes with an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, which we have already seen on the Galaxy S10 and the Galaxy S10+. The screen also doubles as an earpiece, thanks to the piezoelectric display technology that sends sound vibrations while on a call.

Under the hood, the Galaxy A80 is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G chipset, which is tuned specifically for gaming. There’s 8GB of RAM along with 128GB storage with no option to expand it. There is no 3.5mm headphone jack on the phone. A 3700mAh battery with 25W fast charging tech keeps the phone running. The handset is equipped with Samsung Pay secured by military-grade Knox security system. The Galaxy A80 is equipped with Dolby Atmos 360-degree surround sound audio tech.

When it comes to the camera, the Galaxy A80 sports a triple camera setup, which includes a 48MP camera sensor with a lens having f/2.0 aperture. The primary sensor is complemented by an 8MP sensor wide-angle lens that offers a 123-degree field of view. There is also a 3D ToF sensor for depth measurement. The entire camera setup, along with an LED flash and the laser autofocus, is housed in a separate unit made of plastic that rises up from the frame – just like the one in the Oppo Find X. The camera unit then flips over to become the front camera. Samsung claims that the entire motion takes around 1.2 seconds to complete.
