Samsung Galaxy A80 was launched in India on Thursday as the newest member in the Galaxy A family. The smartphone has a rotating camera design with a triple rear camera setup as its USP. However, there are also various other features that make the Galaxy A80 a compelling option for a high-end smartphone buyer. The phone comes with a full-HD+ Super AMOLED display and is powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 730G SoC. All this makes the Galaxy A80 a solid contender in its segment. But Samsung's offering isn't alone to influence customers in the market. The OnePlus 7 Pro, which is the latest flagship by the Chinese company, takes on the Galaxy A80 with its full-screen experience, pop-up selfie camera, and the top-of-the-line Snapdragon 855 SoC.
