The camera itself flipped, with a portion of the back extending upward while the camera module rotated on its axis. Thanks to this, the rear camera was also perfectly usable for high-quality selfies. Galaxy The A80 featured a 48 MP main camera with a 1/2,0″ sensor and full autofocus support. The set was completed by an 8MP ultra-wide-angle module with a 3D TOF sensor.
