The July 2021 security update for the Samsung Galaxy A80 has begun to roll out a few days ago. The July 2021 update for the Galaxy A80 is ongoing simultaneously in several European markets and aims to provide a more robust security architecture for the device.

Samsung began the July 2021 security update for its Galaxy devices (smartphones and tablets) at the beginning of the month. The Galaxy S10 series was the first to get the update, including the July 2021 security patch. The latest updates are meant to fix several privacy and security-related vulnerabilities in the Galaxy lineup of smartphones and tablets.

The Firmware version of the A80 July 2021 Security Update is A805FXXS6DUG3. The Firmware can be installed on the Samsung device via an update or manually downloaded and installed. Galaxy A80 owners should navigate to Software Update from their settings app, download and install the update on their devices.

The Firmware for the July 2021 security updates can also be directly downloaded from Samsung’s website and installed on the device.

The Samsung Galaxy A80 already has two OS upgrades since its launch in 2019. The Galaxy A80 came with Android 9 Pie, which was upgraded to Android 10 in 2020 and Android 11 this year. It is unlikely that the A80 will have any further OS upgrade, as we await the stable version of the latest Google Android 12 operating system.

While the July 2021 security update for the Galaxy A80 has been confirmed in most parts of Europe, it is expected that the process is ongoing in other markets globally. The updates and the Security Patch will further enhance the overall security of the Galaxy A80 devices.

Samsung’s leftover older devices have been getting the Android 11 updates lately. The latest ones to join the list are the Galaxy A40 and Galaxy 80 smartphones. The former gets a One UI 3 whereas the latter has received the One UI 3.1 update.

The 2019 mid-range Galaxy A80 is getting an update with firmware version A805FXXU5DUC7 in parts of Europe. If you recall, this device, which launched with Android 9 Pie has already got one Android version upgrade and this should be the second upgrade, which is probably its last one.

However, it should get the security updates for at least another year considering it’s on the official list released by Samsung. Anyway, the latest update brings Android 11 features, One UI 3.1 features, and March 2021 security patch.

Some of One UI 3.1 features include revamped UI, Private Share, GPS location data removal on Images, more Lock screen widgets, improved stock apps, & more. Users in other countries like India should get it soon now that it’s has started rolling out in Europe.

Similar to the Galaxy A80, the Galaxy A40 is also getting the Android 11(One UI 3.1) update with March 2021 security patch. It is getting the firmware version A405FNXXU3CUC2  and is rolling out to users of Vodafone Germany in Europe. That being said, expect the other regions to pick it up in the coming days.

Galaxy A40 launched with Android 9 Pie and hence, this could be the last update for it too. If you are living in Europe and are having either of these devices, you can visit Settings > Software update > Download and install.

The flagship killer Realme X2 Pro finally went on pre-orders globally today 4th November. It is already considered the flagship killer of the year by a lot of people, but this does not mean it is the only valid option in that price range. Thanks to street prices, in that range you can also find other amazing high-end devices, such as the Asus Zenfone 6 and the Samsung Galaxy A80. But do they stand a chance with the Realme X2 Pro under every aspect? You can discover it by going ahead and reading this in-depth specs comparison.

Oppo Realme X2 Pro vs Asus Zenfone 6 vs Samsung Galaxy A80

Design

Asus and Samsung put much effort into creating innovative designs this year, especially with these two devices. Both Asus Zenfone 6 and Samsung Galaxy A80 come with rotating camera modules in order to guarantee a notch-less display and let people use the rear cameras as front camera. This also results in very narrow bezels around the display, with the Samsung Galaxy A80 boasting the highest screen-to-body ratio. Both the phones have a glass back and an aluminum frame, but unlike the Zenfone 6, the Samsung Galaxy A80 has an in-display fingerprint scanner instead of a rear-mounted one. I even like more the rotating mechanism of the Galaxy A80, if we only talk about the aesthetics.

Display

The best display panel is undoubtedly the one found on the Realme X2 Pro. It is the only to support the HDR10+ standard for richer image quality, especially with multimedia content. Further, it has a 100 percent DCI P3 coverage and even a higher 90 Hz refresh rate that is very great for gamers. Despite being an IPS panel, the display found on the Zenfone 6 is still a high-end screen with a Full DCI P3 coverage and HDR10 support. And even though the Samsung Galaxy A80 has an AMOLED display, the Zenfone 6 looks more interesting. However, as said above, it lacks an in-display fingerprint reader.

Hardware/Software

The most performing smartphone of the trio is the Realme X2 Pro as it is one of the most powerful flagships out there sold at a midrange-class price. It is even equipped with up to 12 GB of RAM and a UFS 3.0 internal storage, that is simply amazing. The second place goes to the Asus Zenfone 6 fueled by the Snapdragon 855 chipset and up to 8 GB of RAM, while the Samsung Galaxy A80 is just an upper mid-ranger with its Snapdragon 730 processor, but it is still very fast and smooth.

Camera

The cameras found on the Asus Zenfone 6 are the most interesting not only because of the photo quality but also because of its flip-up mechanism allowing you to take photos from unusual angles. Further, the rear camera can also be used as a front camera. The Realme X2 Pro deserves a second place with its 64 MP quad camera which is more versatile for various kinds of scenarios, while the Samsung Galaxy A80 is not so exciting despite its rotating camera mechanism.

Battery

The presence of a huge 5000 mAh battery makes the Asus Zenfone 6 last a lot more than its rivals on a single charge, despite the IPS display. It even supports reverse charging so that it can be used as a power bank.

Price

You need just €399/$444 to grab a unit of the Realme X2 Pro in the base configuration with 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage. Asus Zenfone 6’s listing price starts from €499/$556, while Samsung Galaxy A80 actually costs about €450/$500. If you do not care so much about cameras and battery life (in that case Asus Zenfone 6 is a more correct choice), Realme X2 Pro wins this comparison due to its better display and performance, but it lacks an innovative design and high-end cameras.

Samsung had launched the Galaxy A80 smartphone in India in July this year for a price of ₹47,990 (~$676). Now, months after its launch, the company has announced a massive price cut of ₹8,000 (~$113), bringing the cost down to ₹39,990 (roughly $564).

The smartphone is now being sold at this new pricing through online stores such as Amazon and this new pricing is also applicable to the device being sold through offline channels in the country.

As for the specifications, the Samsung Galaxy A80 flaunts a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with New Infinity notch-less design. It offers a tall aspect ratio of 20:9 and carries support for 1080 x 2500 pixels Full HD+ resolution. The display of the smartphone is fitted with an in-screen fingerprint sensor for added security.

Under the hood, the device is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G 8nm octa-core processor which is clocked at 2.2GHz, coupled with Adreno 618 graphics. The phone comes packed with 8GB of RAM and has 128GB of internal storage.

It comes with a triple camera setup that includes an f/2.0 aperture 48-megapixel main lens, an f/2.2 aperture 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 3D ToF (Time of Flight) lens. There is no front-facing camera on the device. The rear positioned triple camera setup can move up at rotate to function as front-facing cameras for capturing selfies.

The phone is running Android 9 Pie operating system with the company’s own One UI on top. The South Korean company has included a 3,700mAh battery inside the Galaxy A80 along with support for 25W fast charging support.

Samsung Galaxy A80 is now landing in the Chinese market. Finally, a device which is not as expensive as the S or Note flagship line-ups, but still offers some high-end specifications. But there are currently a lot of people wondering whether they should go for a Chinese flagship or for the Galaxy A80. We believe that comparing it to the flagships from the most affordable brands is a good way to help you make a decision about which kind of device you should prefer. So we chose the Honor 20 Pro and the Xiaomi Mi 9 Explorer for an in-depth specs comparison which matches the price range of affordable flagships which go from €500 to the beginning of the top-tier segment.

Samsung Galaxy A80 vs Huawei Honor 20 Pro vs Xiaomi Mi 9 Explorer

Design

Your tastes play the most important role if we talk about the aesthetics of this trio. All of them are built with premium materials including glass for the back cover and aluminum for the frame. They have three different form factors for the display: Honor 20 Pro has a punch-hole screen, Xiaomi Mi 9 Explorer has a classic waterdrop notch (but it sports an amazing transparent back) and Samsung Galaxy A80 has a full borderless display without notch, neither holes in the display, thanks to its rotating camera and the absence of a traditional earpiece. Xiaomi Mi 9 Explorer has the best build quality (its glasses are protected by Gorilla Glass 6 and the frame is made of 7000 series aluminum), while Honor 20 Pro is the most compact. I personally prefer the Samsung Galaxy A80 due to the higher screen-to-body ratio, but not everyone likes its rear side.

Display

Despite it has the most affordable price tag, Xiaomi Mi 9 Explorer is equipped with the best display. It is a Super AMOLED panel which boasts a high DCI-P3 coverage and it is HDR10-compliant, so it has a stunning color reproduction. Right after there is Samsung Galaxy A80 with less accurate colors but a wider display size and still the Super AMOLED technology. The display is not the strongest point of the Honor 20 Pro which is equipped with a classic LCD panel with image quality similar to most of the midrange devices.

Specs & Software

Xiaomi Mi 9 Explorer wins the comparison again when it comes to the hardware department. First of all, it sports the most powerful SoC: the octa-core Snapdragon 855 by Qualcomm. Second, it boasts up to 12 GB of RAM which is the highest amount of volatile memory ever mounted on a mobile phone. And it even comes with 256 GB of internal storage in both its memory configurations.

Camera

The absence of OIS on the Xiaomi Mi 9 Explorer and the presence of a dedicated macro camera, 3x optical zoom and an amazing 48 MP sensor with a very bright f/1.4 aperture on the Honor 20 Pro would make me go for the Honor 20 Pro which I consider as one of the best camera phones of the year, despite it is an affordable flagship. But if we talk about selfies, Samsung Galaxy A80 wins the comparison because it can use its triple rear setup as a selfie camera too as it is a rotating camera. So with the Galaxy A80, you can shoot very detailed selfies, 4K video selfies, and ultrawide selfies, unlike most of the phones out there.

Battery

Honor 20 Pro has the biggest battery with a capacity of 4000 mAh. And as you are probably thinking, it lasts much more than Galaxy A80 and Xiaomi Mi 9 Explorer on a single charge. But Samsung Galaxy A80 is still a good battery phone and it even supports a faster charging technology (Honor 20 Pro is still very fast as it reaches up to 50 percent in just 30 minutes). Xiaomi Mi 9 Explorer has everything but long battery life, but it is the only to support wireless charging (which is also very fast with a power of 20W).

For 2019, Xiaomi, Samsung, and Oppo completely revolutionized their midrange line-ups in order to face the concurrency in the best way. Redmi is not just a series of Xiaomi phones anymore: now it is an independent brand and it even includes a high-end line-up in which you can find the Redmi K20. Oppo launched a brand new series called Reno, which is also the same name of the first device from the series. Samsung renewed the A series with a new name scheme and innovative phones with a higher value for money, such as the Samsung Galaxy A80. Here is a comparison between Redmi K20, Samsung Galaxy A80, and Oppo Reno that you should definitely check if you are looking for the best upper-midrange handset.

Xiaomi Redmi K20 vs Samsung Galaxy A80 vs Oppo Reno

Design

Goodbye notches, finally. None of these devices comes with a display interruption: they are all full-screen phones, but they rely on different solutions to get rid of bezels. Redmi K20 has a classic pop-up camera, Oppo Reno has a shark fin pop-up camera and Samsung Galaxy A80 comes with the most innovative solution: a rotating rear camera which can be used as selfie camera as well. In my opinion, it is not the high screen-to-body ratio (neither the pop-up cameras) to make the difference. The rear side of the Redmi K20 with its “liquid” finish is simply amazing, so the Redmi K20 is my favorite one aesthetically.

Display

It is really hard to pick a winner among these displays as you will not easily notice the difference in everyday use. If you are a multimedia lover, you may like the Redmi K20 more because it is HDR-compliant, so it enhances the colors in a brilliant way. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy A80 comes with a wider display and a taller 20:9 aspect ratio which is very interesting as well. Last but not least, Oppo Reno has good DCI-P3 coverage, so good colors too. All of them come with an under-display fingerprint scanner. Given the marginal differences, we do not suggest you focus on the display quality.

Specs & Software

Given that Oppo Reno is powered by a less powerful Snapdragon 710 chipset, it loses the hardware comparison. The main battle is between the Redmi K20 and the Samsung Galaxy A80 which come with the same SoC and the same amount of RAM in the most expensive memory configuration. However, Redmi K20’s high-end variant wins the comparison because it is equipped with more internal storage (256 GB). None of these devices supports a micro SD expansion slot, while all of them come with Android 9 Pie out of the box, as well as a custom user interface.

Camera

When it comes to the rear cameras, Redmi K20 has the most impressive setup on the paper. It is composed of a main 48 MP sensor with a bright f/1.8 aperture, a secondary ultrawide lens with a 13 MP resolution and a telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom. On the other hand, when it comes to selfies, Samsung Galaxy A80 wins as it allows to use the rear camera as a selfie camera thanks to its rotating mechanism.

Battery

In each case, you get an above-average battery, but Redmi K20 is the real winner as it simply comes with a bigger 4000 mAh unit. Samsung Galaxy A80 has the fastest charging technology but also the smallest battery. We are satisfied with Redmi K20’s battery life, it lasts one full day with moderate use.

Price

Samsung Galaxy A80 carries a price tag of €650/$723, Oppo Reno starts from €500/$555, Redmi K20 costs just €260/$290. Given the higher value for money and the bigger battery, Redmi K20 wins this comparison.

In the last years, innovation is not just a thing limited to flagship phones, but it also started regarding midrange smartphones. Recently, Samsung started testing a lot of its innovative features on midrange devices first: just look at the Galaxy A8s which was the first company’s device with a punch-hole display. Recently, the company even launched the Galaxy A80, its first smartphone with a rotating camera. A few weeks after, Google came up with its Pixel 3a series including the Pixel 3a and the Pixel 3a XL: the first midrange Pixels. Even Oppo launched a brand new line-up which includes Reno and Reno 10x zoom, and the former is an upper-midrange handset. Here, we will compare the three upper mid-rangers Galaxy A80, Oppo Reno and Google Pixel 3a XL as we loved their specs and performances, and we think they are among the best choices in the upper-midrange segment. But which one is the best? Let’s discover it together.

Samsung Galaxy A80 vs Oppo Reno vs Google Pixel 3a XL

Design

Both the Samsung Galaxy A80 and the Oppo Reno offer stunning and futuristic design. They feature a notch-less display with a very high screen-to-body ratio thanks to their pop-up and rotating cameras. My favorite one is the Oppo Reno because I like its glass back more. On the other hand, Samsung Galaxy A80 seems to have a better build quality. In my opinion, Google Pixel 3a comes with a design which is far from being impressive due to its thick bezels around the display and a full plastic body. It even lacks an IP certification, unlike its older siblings from the Pixel 3 line-up.

Display

All of these phones feature very nice OLED displays with vivid colors and deep blacks. I liked very much the color accuracy of the Oppo Reno, but there is also to mention that Samsung Galaxy A80 has a bigger display size due to its taller 20:9 aspect ratio. As a multimedia lover, I would choose the Google Pixel 3a not only for the display but also because it is equipped with louder stereo speakers.

Specs & Software

If you are looking for the highest performances, then Samsung Galaxy A80 is the right choice for you. It comes with the most powerful midrange processor by Qualcomm: the octa-core Snapdragon 730 running at a max frequency of 2.2 GHz. And it only has a configuration with whopping 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. But you can not expand the storage. On the other hand, Google Pixel 3a XL has a stock operating system which will get updated faster and it will also be safer as it will get security patches more quickly. But in terms of performances, even the Oppo Reno is better due to its Snapdragon 710 chipset and up to 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage.

Camera

The most stunning camera belongs to the Google Pixel 3a XL, even though it is just a single rear camera. It is the same sensor as the vanilla Pixel 3 and it even works with the same algorithm. Its performances in low light conditions are amazing and it can shoot flagship class photos. At the second place, there is the Samsung Galaxy A80 which even includes an ultrawide sensor, as well as a 3D TOF camera. It is a rotating camera setup, so you can also use it for selfies.

Battery

Oppo Reno has a slightly bigger battery, but just slightly. Samsung Galaxy A80 and Pixel 3a XL have the same battery capacity. So we do not expect big differences in battery life. We still did not test it, but given the usual software optimization, Google Pixel 3a XL might last more on a single charge.

Price

Google Pixel 3a XL debuted with a €480/$540 price, Oppo Reno carries a €500/$562 price tag and Samsung Galaxy A80 costs €650/$730. Overall, I personally prefer the Galaxy A80 due to its better chipset and its amazing build quality, but the price would let me go for the Pixel 3a XL and its astonishing camera performances.

The last few years have seen various design styles make their debut in the tech space. Notches, punch-holes, foldable panels, pop-up camera, sliding camera and of recent, a sliding design with rotating camera as seen on the Samsung Galaxy A80.  The Galaxy A80 brings a rather refreshing design style to an industry that is almost saturated with the same design style repeatedly being used by OEMs. For instance, after the iPhone X was released, notch screen became popular. Punch-hole design is also gaining ground even though we don’t see it mounting any meaningful push in terms of popularity.

The Galaxy A80 comes with a refreshing new design but one that can easily damage just like most phones. But in this case, the design will pose a challenge manufacturing a protective case since the rotating camera has to be put into consideration. This is similar to the Galaxy Fold and it wasn’t a surprise the Fold had an exuberant $120 price tag. The Galaxy A80 cases by reputable case manufacturer Olixar has appeared online.  The cases take into consideration the extending , rotating middle-frame camera mechanism. The cases come in different styles, including one with leather known as Slim Genuine Leather Wallet case. The case is comprised of a rear segment, extending to the edge of the camera module and using some sort of adhesive surface to attach to the phone. That’s necessitated by the fact that the sides of the Galaxy A80 remain pretty much uncovered, except for a patch of material underneath the volume buttons. The rear segment acts as a hinge for the front segment of the case, which flips on top of the front glass.

This design gives full protection to the display. The cases are currently listed on Olixar’s website with the black and tan variant going for $21.99. There is a Then there is the FlexiShield Gel Case made from a non-slip material and is currently up on Olixar’s website in clear, black and blue variants priced at just $6.99.

Pop-up cameras became one of the biggest trends among smartphone manufacturers. A lot of them consider this as an amazing solution to get rid of bezel around the display. With the new Galaxy A80, even Samsung embraced this solution, but in a slightly different way. The Korean giant brought more innovation by realizing a rotating camera. But will this new handset be better than its Chinese competition in the upper-midrange sector? You can discover it with us by going ahead with this comparison between Samsung Galaxy A80, the new Oppo Reno and the Vivo X27 Pro. We decided to compare the innovative Galaxy A80 with the best upper-midrange devices from Oppo and Vivo as they come with similar prices and they sport pop-up cameras too.

Samsung Galaxy A80 vs Oppo Reno vs Vivo X27 Pro

Design

Several people define it ugly, but I am magnetically attracted from the way Samsung Galaxy A80 flips its camera in order to let the users shoot both normal photos and selfies with the same triple setup. It definitely needs the innovation award. But Oppo Reno has a cleaner and more attractive rear side, that is why I prefer it slightly more. It is equipped with a “shark fin-like” pop-up camera and it also seems to come with the highest screen-to-body ratio. Last but not least, it has more compact dimensions, so it is easier to hold, to use with one hand and to keep in a pocket.

Display

Even though Samsung is the king of displays, you will not see noticeable differences between the panels of these handsets. They all come with the Super AMOLED technology, a Full HD+ resolution, and satisfying color reproduction. So it is kinda useless to make a comparison between their displays. Note that, with 6.7 inches, Samsung Galaxy A80 and Vivo X27 Pro come with a wider diagonal that is more satisfying for multimedia and productivity. But at the same time, they are less compact than Oppo Reno, as mentioned above.

Specs & Software

Do you want to always get the fastest and smoothest performances from your handset? Then go for the Samsung Galaxy A80 as it comes with a newer, more efficient and more powerful Snapdragon 730 chipset! It was officially announced just two days ago and it is very nice for gaming and advanced users. On the other hand, Oppo Reno and Vivo X27 Pro offer more internal storage in their most expensive variants: up to 256 GB (the Galaxy A80 stops at 128 GB). This is important because none of these phones features expandable storage. Do you prefer having slightly better performance or more internal storage?

Camera

The most complete camera department belongs to the Vivo X27 Pro. It is equipped with a triple camera setup on the back including an ultrawide sensor, while on the front there is an awesome 32 MP shooter. You get a similar configuration with the Samsung Galaxy A80 on the back, but it has a less bright focal aperture and it lacks the front camera as it can use its rotating camera as a front camera too. Oppo Reno has a front camera, but it has just a dual camera on its back and it lacks an ultrawide lens.

Battery

Given that the Vivo X27 Pro has the biggest battery (4000 mAh) and it has a way bigger capacity than Samsung Galaxy A80 and Oppo Reno, it will probably last more on a single charge in almost every scenario. There is not so many difference between the specs sheets of these phones, so the only doubt actually regards the software optimization, as we still did not test the Galaxy A80 and Oppo Reno battery life (as they just became official).

Price

Samsung Galaxy A80 will hit the market with a €650/$731 price tag in Europe, Oppo Reno starts from €400/$450 in China and Vivo X27 Pro costs €530/$596. Overall, these phones are more or less at the same level, but I would personally go for the Vivo X27 Pro because of its great camera department and its bigger battery.
