Samsung Galaxy A80

Overview

While the A80 is a very likeable and premium looking phone, though it’s a mid-range handset. The rotating camera is a clever way to maximize the gorgeous display which is one of its strongest features, making it an ideal companion for those who often watch videos and films on their phones.
