The first phone with Samsung's
New Infinity display slides apart and rotates its cameras when it's selfie time.
Samsung has unveiled a phone in
its midrange Galaxy A series that features a new reversible camera system, the
Galaxy A80. The phone's sole camera array automatically flips around when
toggled into selfie mode and consists of a 48-megapixel main camera, an
8-megapixel ultrawide and a time-of-flight sensor. The latter of which can be
used for facial recognition and depth mapping for better portrait photos.

Because there's no need for a
separate, dedicated front-facing camera, the Galaxy A80's 6.7-inch Super AMOLED
New Infinity Display has no notch or hole punch.
Otherwise, the specs are pretty
straightforward. The phone has a 3,700 mAh battery, which supports fast
charging at 25 watts, 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Like the other
forthcoming A-series phones, the A80 also has an on-screen fingerprint scanner.
Samsung previously announced the
Galaxy A50 and A30, the Galaxy A70 and the Galaxy A90, all of which feature a
non-sliding version of the company's notchless Infinity-U displays.
