JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – 02 July, 2019 – Samsung announces the launch of the new Galaxy A80 available for purchase online and in-stores in select markets[1] starting from July. Built for the Era of Live, Galaxy A80 offers meaningful innovations on a safe and secure platform: Samsung’s first rotating triple camera and the immersive New Infinity Display.

“Galaxy A80 is created for the Era of Live – a world where digital natives are capturing, sharing and connecting in the moment,” said Justin Hume, Director: Integrated Mobility at Samsung South Africa. “The latest innovations in the camera, design and performance of Galaxy A80 bring a new mobile experience that fits the needs of today’s generation: always on and always ready.”

Share Your Experiences Live

In a first for Galaxy devices, Galaxy A80 is equipped with Samsung’s revolutionary rotating triple camera which provides the same high-quality lens, front and rear, so you never have to compromise the vividness of your videos and images. The rotating triple camera also lets you record footages continuously, no matter if shot on front or back camera, so your memories can be seen in one video.

Whether you’re hiking up the mountain during the day or enjoying street food at a night market, Galaxy A80 allows you to take clear and bright photos regardless of day or night with its 48MP main camera. Now, with the Ultra-Wide Lens with a 123-degree viewing angle[2], you can be reassured knowing that you can easily photograph or capture and share a live video of everything you see.

Galaxy A80’s 3D Depth Camera allows you to capture your subjects with more depth, letting you create movie-like clips of your favourite moments with features such as Live Focus Video mode. Additionally, Super Steady Video mode reduces bumps or shakes for pro-level action videos.

Immerse in a Cinematic Multimedia Experience

Galaxy A80 features Samsung’s first New Infinity Display, an expansive, edge-to-edge, 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED screen[3]. With a 20:9 display ratio, the New Infinity Display allows you to fully engage in your favourite multimedia content. Take your audio-visual experience one step further with Dolby Atmos when using earphones or Bluetooth speakers.

Stay Connected Conveniently and Securely

As part of the Galaxy experience, Galaxy A80 also features Samsung Knox, Samsung’s defence-grade security platform designed to protect from chipset to software. In addition, Samsung Pass will allow you to securely and conveniently access apps and websites through fingerprint sensor.

With Galaxy A80’s Intelligent Performance Enhancer, you can expect your Galaxy A80 to work harder, faster and longer whenever you need it. Its AI-powered performance optimisation software maximises the device’s CPU, RAM and battery capacity, tailoring your Galaxy A80’s efficiency to your everyday needs.

Stand Out with Distinctive Designs

Galaxy A80 comes in three colours: Angel Gold, Ghost White and Phantom Black. The Angel Gold and Ghost White options come with hints of pink and blue respectively, letting you express your personal style.

By introducing an array of industry-first technologies, including next-generation display, camera and performance upgrades, the Galaxy S10 points the way to a faster, bolder, and brighter future. In other words, Samsung Electronics’ new flagship family has taken the Galaxy experience that users love and refined and reimagined it for a brand new era.

A Premium Design

The Galaxy S10 lineup is composed of three unique devices: the Galaxy S10, S10+ and S10e. Each features a premium design that builds on the Galaxy series’ signature heritage, and raises the bar for smartphones to follow.

The Galaxy S10 takes the barely there top and bottom bezels that have become synonymous with Samsung’s flagship phones and reduces them even further. This creates more room to watch movies, read books, and play games on the immersive, 19:9 Infinity-O Display. The devices also feature an in-display camera design that maximizes screen real estate by packing sensors and camera technologies into a tiny hole.

Even with their larger screens and more immersive visuals, the Galaxy S10 models feature slimmer and lighter¹designs than last year’s editions, and offer users a comfortable one-handed grip. Each Galaxy S10 is available in a variety of attractive colors, including Prism White, Prism Black, Prism Green, Prism Blue, Flamingo Pink and Canary Yellow. Additional color variants include Ceramic Black and Ceramic White.²

An Epic Camera

A ‘Dynamic’ Display

The Galaxy series has a history of introducing groundbreaking display technologies, and the Galaxy S10 adds an exciting new chapter to that legacy.

Capable of producing over 16 million colors, with 100 percent mobile color volume in the DCI-P3 color range, the Galaxy S10’s Dynamic AMOLED display offers extraordinary contrast for even deeper blacks and brighter whites. It features a peak luminance of 1200 nits, and it’s the first mobile display to support HDR10+: a next-generation open standard for HDR video. This powerful combination of industry-leading specs allows the display to depict content in incredible detail.

The Dynamic AMOLED display also includes an in-display fingerprint-recognition system that adds new levels of comfort and security to unlocking your phone. Samsung’s new in-display Ultrasonic Fingerprint Scanner utilizes ultrasonic waves to map out your fingerprint’s unique pattern, and features an anti-spoofing algorithm that enables it to recognize your real, physical fingerprint and reject images or copies of it.

Powerful Charging Options

In addition to boasting support for Fast Wireless Charging 2.0, the Galaxy S10 features an all-new wireless charging innovation that will change how you power your other devices.

The Galaxy S10’s Wireless PowerShare3 technology allows you to share your power with compatible phones and wearables when they need it most. This means that if you’re away from an outlet and your Galaxy Buds are running low on power, you’ll be able to charge them up by simply placing their case on the back of your phone. It’s as simple as that. The Galaxy S10 also includes dual charging support, which allows you to charge your phone and another compatible device simultaneously using a single wired charger.

Whether you’re ready for your close-up or looking at the bigger picture, the Galaxy A9 comes equipped with camera options to help you capture the moment the way you want. While the 120° Ultra Wide lens lets you capture everything your eyes see, the telephoto lens provides 2x Optical Zoom, so you get the perfect composition even when you are far away from your subject.

The phone’s 24MP main lens stays sharp no matter what your lighting conditions. Using a pixel re-mosaic algorithm, it is able to maintain peak performance in low light, producing clear images with less noise. The Depth Camera works with the main camera to give you the ability to manually adjust the depth of field of your images, so you can add beautiful bokeh to accentuate your photos.
