Source: Asus Zenfone 6 vs. Samsung Galaxy A80
introduction
We’ve had our thoughts on comparing the funky cameras of the Samsung Galaxy A80 and Asus Zenfone 6 since we knew of their existence, but something always stood in the way of actually doing it. However, last week tragedy intervened – a second commercial-grade Galaxy A80 review unit arrived on our doorstep and a major software update was released for the Zenfone 6 – we thought this was as good a time as any.
It’s an odd combination, we’ll admit that. The Galaxy is a midranger at heart (read the chipset), but a premium one and relatively more expensive. Meanwhile, the Zenfone is one of the cheapest phones you can get with the top dog Snapdragon 855 (okay, technically there’s a Plus version now to fly the Qualcomm flag, but still).
That’s just one of the things that sets them apart, and there’s a lot more – the Galaxy has a nice 6.7-inch SuperAMOLED alongside the Zenfone’s more modest 6.4-inch LCD, Samsung has a fingerprint sensor built in under the display, while Asus has opted for a traditional capacitive on the back, and the A80 lacks extras like a headphone jack and microSD slot, both of which are present on the Zenfone.
Ah, but the funky cameras – both phones have them and that’s what we’re here for. As a by-product of the pursuit of bezel-less phone designs, motorized solutions emerged to deliver a front-facing camera with no unsightly display cutouts. Cool looking workarounds if you ask us. They do things differently, these two, and we’ll go over the pros and cons of each approach on the next page, where we’ll also take a closer look at the camera specs and special features.
Before that, a quick refresher on the main hardware you would find on the Galaxy A80 and Zenfone 6.

We’re going to try to be quick and to the point with this, so there’s not much in the way of design, hardware or software outside of the camera context – less talk, more sampling. Nevertheless, we start with something conversation on the next page.
