Samsung Galaxy A82 might be in the works with a flip-up camera

Remember the Galaxy A80? The phone had a camera that could rise and flip around when you wanted to take a selfie. That kept the front neat with slim bezels and no punch holes. However, this model didn’t get a sequel last year as the device rumored to be the A81 turned out to be the Note10 Lite instead.

So here we go again – rumor has it that Samsung is working on a Galaxy A82 (with alleged model designation SM-A826B, though that isn’t certain yet). Unfortunately, there’s no confirmation that the phone will feature a flip-up camera like the A80. So far we really only know that it will be a 5G phone, but that is hardly surprising.


Samsung Galaxy A80: neat on the front • the flip-up camera • great quality selfies

Currently, that kind of design is available only on Asus’ Zenfones. And until under-display cameras become more common, it remains one of the few options for an uninterrupted screen. Using the main camera for selfies makes for great quality photos too (and you get an ultra wide-angle lens and an LED flash “for free” with this design).

That said, a Galaxy Note20 Lite might not be a bad idea either, so perhaps fans of the stylus won’t mind if history repeats itself.


The Galaxy A81 that wasn’t – the Galaxy Note10 Lite traded the flip-up camera for an S Pen

Whatever it ends up being, the so-called Galaxy A82 is still in the early stages of development, so it will be a while before it hits the market. We should have our answer earlier than that though, smartphone designs don’t stay secret for very long these days.

Samsung Display announced the start in March of the volume production of an OLED panel a 90 Hz intended for notebooks . The new solution from 14 inches , according to Samsung Display CEO Joo Sun Choi, “can best meet the diverse needs of consumers in laptops used in telecommuting, online education, video streaming and games “.

South Korean manufacturer believes new panel will be welcomed by consumers thanks to images with better contrast and color, together with a better response time which should ensure a motion blur comparable to that obtained with an LCD screen at 120 Hz when viewing content at high speed.

Samsung has not provided further technical details (aspec ratio, gamut, etc.) nor indicated any OEM ready to adopt the panel in question. OLED displays are not a total novelty in the laptop industry, but they are certainly not common. Some models offer an OLED panel as an option, but these are 60 Hz solutions. Samsung itself, l ‘last year, it presented a Galaxy Chromebook with an OLED display, while this year it turned to a cheaper QLED.

However, it should not be forgotten that in recent days the Asian company has anticipated the arrival of a future notebook with OLED screen and webcam “under” the display, a novelty able to eliminate as much as possible the frames to the advantage of a larger viewing area and a better design.
