- 48 MP sensor with aperture f / 2.0

The chip is an improved solution for the Snapdragon 710 and offers 8 Kryo 470 cores split into two blocks according to the 2 + 6 scheme. plus updated generation cores. Two high-performance cores can reach 2.2 GHz, and six energy efficient ones do not step over the 1.8 GHz mark. The new Adreno 618 graphics accelerator has joined the new cores. The performance of the new processor has already been investigated in a number of tests and, according to some indicators, reaches the level of last year’s flagship Snapdragon 845.
The Samsung provided the device with good memory and equipped the novelty with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal memory. The only unpleasant detail is the lack of support for memory cards. However, the high capacity of the built-in storage device and the ability to use cloud storage for data reduce this minor flaw to nothing.
The battery capacity of Galaxy A80 is 3700 mAh. Additional charge savings are achieved through an adaptive energy saving system. The intellectual performance enhancement function based on AI algorithms regulates the operation of the battery, processor and RAM, depending on how the gadget is used.
