    These are the three new Galaxy A handsets that customers may consider if they're looking for more premium features. There are others in the new lineup as well but these are the most feature-packed models. Samsung has kicked things up a notch with the Galaxy A80. It's the first smartphone from Samsung with a new rotating camera mechanism. Wondering how does it compare against the Galaxy A70 and the Galaxy A50?

    It has a slightly bigger display than the Galaxy A50 but the same size as the Galaxy A70. It gets 8GB of RAM as standard with 128GB of storage. While the other two have microSD card slots, it does not. It also ditches the 3.5mm headphone jack. The Galaxy A80 also has the smallest battery of the pack at 3,700mAh but compensates for it with 25W super fast charging which is also available on the Galaxy A70.

    The camera understandably hogs the limelight. The primary 48-megapixel sensor is in a league of its own coupled with the same ultra-wide sensor you get on the other models. It gets a 3D depth camera as well. This entire camera setup is used for selfies as well since it can rotating from the back to the front.

    Don't forget to check out our hands-on of the Galaxy A80 to learn more about Samsung's top mid-range smartphone.
