As Soon as Unpacked Ends... Samsung's 'Galaxy A82' Draws Flood of Attention
'Rotating Camera' Galaxy A80 Successor
Equipped with Slide-Type Rotating Camera Module
Sony IMX686 Lens · Snapdragon 855 Plus
The Galaxy A80 model, equipped with the so-called 'rotating camera,' was released in 2019. The yet-to-be-released Galaxy A82 is presumed to be a successor to the Galaxy A80.
View original image[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] As Samsung Electronics unveiled the Galaxy A52 and A72 through its Unpacked event, attention is already turning to the successor, the Galaxy A82. It is speculated to be a continuation of the Galaxy A80, which innovatively used the rear camera for front-facing shots.
On the 19th, combining reports from foreign media such as GalaxyClub, GSMArena, and Gizmochina, Samsung Electronics is expected to launch the Galaxy A82 in the near future.
The key feature of the Galaxy A82 is its slide-type rotating camera module, continuing the legacy of the Galaxy A80 series announced in 2019. The Galaxy A80 applied technology where the top rear camera module slides upward when the user switches to selfie mode, enabling front-facing shots with the rear camera.
The camera performance is expected to be similar to that of the A52 and A72, with a 64-megapixel resolution. It is highly likely to be equipped with a 64-megapixel Sony IMX686 lens rather than Samsung’s own ISOCELL image sensor.
The processor specifications are estimated to be Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 Plus, released in 2019 for 4G smartphones. The RAM is expected to be 4GB, and the operating system will likely be Google’s Android 11 OS. To enhance data encryption capabilities, a Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) chip has also been installed. The QRNG chip was previously used in the Galaxy A Quantum.
The Galaxy A82 is expected to be first released in South Korea. It is uncertain whether it will expand to the global market.

Meanwhile, on the night of the 17th at 11 PM, Samsung Electronics held the first-ever online Unpacked event for the Galaxy A series, called the ‘Samsung Galaxy Awesome Unpacked.’ This was part of efforts to change the image of the A series, which had been downgraded as a so-called ‘filial piety phone’ due to its affordable price range. The intention reflects a desire to capture not only the premium smartphone market but also the mid-to-low-end market.
