Flashback: Galaxy A80's flip-up camera is still unique in Samsung's line-up

20 March 2022
The phone had an unblemished Infinity display - no notches, no holes - and it still kept bezels thin all around.

      Glass deals with heat better.
      Glass is easily recycled.
      Glass is not bad for the planet.
      Glass does not need petroleum to exist.

          Anonymous, 20 Mar 2022Plastic is weaker heat conductor. That depends on the type of polymer

          Plastic is far far far more versatile that you people give credit for

          It's easier to get plastic to resist scratches or increase thermal conductivity via changing its chemistry

          Than it is to get gorilla glass not to break..

          Glass fibres can be used in a fusion.. for example

          Kraft cheese singles is virtually plastic for those that didn't know essentially just a molecule away lol and people eat that...

            The Flip, 20 Mar 2022You mean Find X (2018). Ditto the Mi Mix 3 from the same year.

              I really want pop up camera/rotating and flip up camera phones like these to come back.

                Pop-up cameras, Flipping cameras, and most importantly sliding upwards for the front cameras like in huawei magic 3 - have died very soon. I don't know why! I really liked them. I really wanted to have something like the huawei magic 3 (just a tad more battery would have been nicer though which was totally possible if there were subsequent 1-2 refreshes).

                  What I love about this phone is that Samsung can still manage to give proper FM Radio functionality despite not having a headphone jack. But as much as I like this phone, I still think that ASUS has a better rotating camera mechanism with the Zenfone 6. It's less complicated than the A80.

                  P.S: Speaking of Galaxy A series, I still find it hard to believe that the A81 would end up being the Note10 Lite.

                    I remember this one. Samsung tried to copy both Oppo N3 and Find X at once and made a phone whose back panel peels off upon bending. Unique, yeah right.
