People keep on saying phones today got bigger screens than 2016s, no they are not. They just got stretched, longer. This here A70/A80 basically got 5.7" screen stretched to get that 20:9 aspect ratio. Basically a longer Nexus 6P or Note 7.

Walter C. Dornez, 10 Apr 2019Nah, M series is actually the replacement. A series is more... more...and we need to say Good Bye IP68 or any IP rating to Galaxy A family. I love IP rating although it may not so important todays.

I am so surprising with this rotating camera, honestly I do not think that the mechanism would be like that. And honestly, I do not like any mechanism of phone, any brands, as it can easily broken in any ways.

At first I thought I could buy Samsung, although I'm usually against it. But the A80 seemed somewhat better than most phones in the upper range. And then the SD slot omission hit me!
I could live without a 3.5 jack, but to ask people into buying a non-expandable storage is unforgivable!

The price must be competitive to beat OnePlus in certain markets. Work all the gimmics, SD 845 > SD 750. But if this is priced closer to Honor View 20 in my place, then this could be a better deal. If this gets priced above OnePlus 6T then we can't consider this as mid-range hence competition would be on the spec(wireless charging, IP rating, memory expansion, stereo speakers, SD 845 & 855)

Walter C. Dornez, 10 Apr 2019Dammit Samsung. I understand that there was some serious R&... moreIt's weird if they're gonna call these the J series replacement if they've already reached a flagship's price and specs. A80's already more expensive than the most expensive Galaxy J, apparently also the first Galaxy J at 450 EUR (according to Phone Finder > Brand: Samsung > Order: Price)
Also, Samsung Serenata said hi lmao

If the A70 is between the A50's and A80's prices at ~450 EUR then I guess it's ok
But the A80 is a big oof with those omissions, the low battery size to screen size ratio, and that priiice... Let's just say, it needs more stuff for justification. Like a minimum of 256GB ROM (no card slot) or some sorta MIL- STD military rating (build quality) or free Galaxy Buds (no jack) or free fast-charging power bank (low battery cap) or maybe even all of the above
Then yeah, it'll be worth the flagship-like price with some of those extras. Otherwise, everyone's just gonna get those "flagship killers" that haven't much flagship feats other than their shiny SDM855 badges for 200 EUR cheaper
