The Galaxy A80 launched as the first Samsung phone with a sliding-rotating camera and also the first with practically no bezels. Samsung didn’t specify the chipset inside the phone but AnTuTu has now revealed the A80 is also the world’s first Snapdragon 730 phone in the world.
The Snapdragon 730 was launched a day before Samsung unveiled its new phones and it, alongside its sibling, the Snapdragon 730G are the new kings of the mid-range category. The AnTuTu benchmark not only confirms the SoC but also reveals the overall score in addition to some specs.
The Samsung Galaxy A80 has an AnTuTu score of 207,082 points which is impressive and isn’t too far from the 213,113 points of the test device from yesterday’s AnTuTu comparison result.
The Snapdragon 730 (SM7150-AA) is an 8nm processor. The smaller node size compared to the Snapdragon 710 means power efficiency will be improved. Performance is also 35% better with the new SoC. The SoC is paired with an Adreno 618 GPU and a Hexagon 688 DSP.
It also has a Computer Vision-ISP which provides depth sensing capabilities at 60fps. The Galaxy A80’s 3D Depth Camera most likely combines this feature of the chipset to allow you to record videos with bokeh effect.
The AnTuTu result also shows a few specs such as the version of Android which is Android 9 Pie, the RAM, and storage (8GB, 128GB), and the screen resolution which is 2400 x 1080.
