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.
