      Just as ugly as the S10 rear view. Sure it's clean but that isn't good if it is too clean.

        This mechanical implementation will only be cool until the hype is gone. When that time comes, what you wanted is for your phones to last but this motorized slider + swivel won't last a long because dust can easily lodge the mechanism. Can you protect it? No, cases won't be of any help, no cases will cover the top-most portion because it moves. High complexity mean more points of failure. Goodluck early adopters.

            i am guessing Samsung is getting rid of the head hpone jack so they can force people to buy their wireless earbuds. I am jumping ship. No more Samsung support from me.

                XTR, 11 Apr 2019People keep on saying phones today got bigger screens than ... morejust another fake thing in 2019
                - longer screen, that is not bigger
                and
                - fake 48MP cam,
                - fake sensors (yes, >developed< by Sammy as well)
                and so on

                  Teddy Sadcat, 11 Apr 2019>a samsung phone >that doesn't have a headphone jack... moreAgreed. Never let a Samsung phone without a jack sell.

                    Maria, 11 Apr 2019...and we need to say Good Bye IP68 or any IP rating to Gal... moreYeah, but it's nice to have. I've personally dropped my phone in water a few times, and so have others. I just think an IP rating made then stand out

                        Nice idea, but then they decided to make it the size of a small television!
                        What is it now with these crazy sized devices.

                          Not a sam fan, and this is just a shame for samsung. 6.7" Super AMOLED, 1080x2400px??! I mean, above 6" is ridiculous anyways, but IF having near 7" please use something different than 1080x2400px

                                Is it just me getting the sensation that Samsung has started to make hundreds of new models all of the sudden? Which might not be a bad thing for the end-user, BUT: why does it "ommit" 3.5mm headphone jack, SD card, stereo speakers? I mean, you (Samsung) come with this pretty clever design, which for sure covers a lot of manufacturing costs having less cameras and you add the ability for the best selfies, but you choose to gristle about those above?! And even that would be ok, but with one condition: to have a much lower price than 650 Euro.

                                Just because you "reinvented" the wheel with this camera design, doesn't mean that you would have succes considering the 650 price tag. This phone shouldn't be above 450 Euro.

                                  A80 is perhaps one of the most innovative approach of Samsung in the recent years IMO. I would not say it is premium as the chipset used is not the most top-tier, yet the screen is really great. However, the price is slightly too high.

                                    650 Euro for no IP rating, no SD card slot, no audio jack, mid range soc, no OIS, good luck with that Samsung. Hahahhaha

                                        itsAokay, 10 Apr 2019You're right, I suppose I'm also complaining because these ... moreFlagships typically have 2 year guaranteed OS upgrade, heck sometimes even 3. But what matters more is the security updates, and Samsung provides even up to 4 years worth of updates for their flagships.
