The package includes a Blackpink-themed Galaxy A80 case, stand and photo card, and a Galaxy Fit fitness band.
As for specs, the Galaxy A80 features a Snapdragon 730 octa-core SoC, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of internal storage, a 3,700 mAh battery with 25W fast charging, and an in-display fingerprint sensor. The triple rear camera setup, which also doubles up as the selfie shooter, includes a 48MP primary sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide sensor, and a 5-megapixel depth sensor.
The Galaxy A80 promises to be a decent smartphone for its price. However, the fact that it lacks both a microSD slot and a headphone jack may put some folks off.
