The Samsung Galaxy A80 priced at CNY 3,799
(US$ 550/€ 490) can now be pre-booked in China through JD.com for CNY 100 (US$ 15/€ 10)
and Samsung's online store by paying the full price. Orders will start shipping
from July 19.
Announced back in April, the Galaxy A80 is powered
by the Snapdragon 730 SoC and comes with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. It runs
Android Pie with One UI atop and packs a 3,700 mAh battery. Arguably the most interesting bit
about the Galaxy A80 is its design. It comes with a triple camera setup at the
back with a 48MP main sensor which elevates and rotates so that you can use it
for selfies and video calls.
The A80 also flaunts a 6.7" FHD+ notch-less
Super AMOLED display having a fingerprint reader embedded to it. The smartphone is already
available in select markets including Malaysia, Europe, Central America and
Africa, and will make its way to India later this month.
