Samsung Galaxy A80 is going to be a hard sell for Indian consumers with that Rs 48K price tag

Samsung recently launched the flagship Galaxy A series smartphone in India. The much-anticipated Galaxy A80 is the most premium handset in the Galaxy A series range.

The Galaxy A80 is priced at Rs 47,990 in India, putting it very close to some of the flagship smartphones like the OnePlus 7 Pro and OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Edition.

The A80 debuts as Samsung’s first smartphone without a notch. The phone doesn’t feature a front camera but uses a triple rear rotating camera design, which lets you use the rear camera module as the front shooter as well. The Galaxy A80 also packs a massive 6.7-inch Quad-HD+ (1440 x 3120 pixels) Fluid AMOLED display with 19.5:9 aspect ratio, excellent for entertainment purposes. You also get a Snapdragon 730G SoC coupled with 8GB of RAM, making it an outstanding performer.

While the Galaxy A80 is a great mid-range phone, it doesn’t really fit the mid-range or flagship killer price range. However, the Galaxy A80 doesn’t just compete with the likes of the OnePlus 7 Pro and OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Edition; it also goes head-to-head with Samsung’s so-called budget flagship S10e, which costs Rs 50,000.
