  • The Samsung Galaxy A80 is one of the most over-engineered smartphones we've come across

  • this year with a motorized camera that both extends up and rotates around to face the

  • front. Pretty interesting. Today we're going to take the whole thing apart and see how

  • it all works from the inside.

  • Let's get started.

  • [Intro]

  • If you remember, during my durability test, which this phone obviously survived, the rear

  • panel next to the camera seam started to lift off the phone a little bit. So that's where

  • we're going to start today. Lifting up with my large suction cup and slicing through the

  • very strong adhesive under the glass. One down side of having a motor inside the phone

  • with a large opening for the camera protrusion is that the phone is not water resistant.

  • But Samsung went ahead and still made this rear adhesive super strong anyway. Finally,

  • with enough persuasion, the glass can lift off exposing some pretty cool looking internals.

  • That copper colored NFC pad looks pretty awesome. Thumbs up for that. If the phone still works

  • when I put it all back together, maybe we'll make a clear version.

  • I'll turn the phone on real quick so we can see the internal hardware in action. When

  • I press the camera button on the screen, we can watch the camera rise up and out of the

  • phone with the longest stepper motor shaft we've ever seen. The black and pink plastics

  • still hide most of the hardware, but we're getting there. The rear black plastics are

  • held down by 12 normal Philips head screws. They're actually quite a lot of screws in

  • here so I'm going to keep everything organized on my desk. Once the screws are out the back

  • plastics can come off of the phone. The NFC pad has the same copper coloring that we saw

  • on the back of the Pixel 4XL. This time though it's attached to the plastics and not the

  • rear glass. Normally I would unplug the battery at this point, but this autopsy's going to

  • be live. We want the phone to keep motoring up and down a few more times while we figure

  • out how it works.

  • The bottom lower loud speaker comes out next. There are no foam balls inside of this guy,

  • in fact it looks like the rear speaker is just set inside of the plastic housing and

  • not built out of the plastic housing. A reminder that this phone only costs $500 on Amazon

  • right now so there probably were a few corners cut to save pennies here and there...especially

  • when so much work when into motorizing the camera. After heating up the plastic area

  • underneath the triple camera setup, I was able to peel it away revealing more pink anodized

  • aluminum Same as up here underneath the top plastics

  • section around the camera - more pink anodized metal.

  • Now we can see a bit more of what's going on. The whole motor is visible at this point

  • and we can see all of the magic happening inside the A80 is happening with just one

  • motor, raising and flipping. We'll have to go deeper to understand it. I'll remove the

  • plastic screw protectors and unscrew the 2 screws at the top of the motor shaft that

  • hold the motor to the top portion of the phone. Along with 4 more screws that hold the top

  • of the phone to the side guardrails. There is a metal plate at the base of these side

  • rails that catch on little lips to stop the upward motion and start the camera flipping

  • motion. We'll see more in just a second. The camera still can't be removed to the phone

  • though since it's attached to the underside of the motherboard.

  • I'll remove the 5 Phillips head screws holding the motherboard to the frame and then unplug

  • the little stepper motor connector, along with the massive mammoth cable going down

  • to the charging port - just like big little Lego. Once everything is unplugged, the whole

  • motherboard and camera unit can slide up and out of the guiding rails and away from the

  • phone. I don't think we've ever had a phone that disassembles in massive chunks like this

  • before. It looks pretty cool inside. We can get an up-close look at the stepper motor

  • now. It has one threaded shaft that can raise and lower the metal part that grips the top.

  • It also has a smooth guiding shaft on the right that keeps the piece level while it's

  • motoring up and down. These large metal rails in the side are probably what help keep both

  • halves in place while I was attempting my bend test. There's also a coin-style vibrator

  • motor and a small pad of thermal foam underneath the motherboard.

  • Before we start taking apart the flippy part of the camera, let's remove the charging port.

  • It has 3 ribbon cables and one screw, and then the whole thing can pull away. Oh. One

  • second....and then the whole thing can pull away from the phone. This little guy has a

  • USB-C charger that can fast charge at 18 watts. Along with a built-in SIM card tray. Down

  • here underneath the charging port are 2 more screws that hold in the underscreen fingerprint

  • scanner. This is an optical little guy. You can see the little camera lens that takes

  • a picture of your finger through the pixels on the OLED screen. Now normally I do like

  • to remove the back from smartphones, but Samsung has once again made this impossible. Removing

  • the battery is a death sentence to the phone since any bend while prying it out will cause

  • the internal layers of the battery to touch, which makes the battery either short out immediately

  • or slowly expand and die over the next few months. So it's super unfortunate that Samsung

  • isn't allowing these batteries to be removed, especially since this number right here is

  • the environment-friendly use period meaning 5 is the number of years you have before the

  • chemicals in the battery might start leaking out. That'll be exciting for your pocket.

  • Samsung should allow their permanent batteries to be more easily removable.

  • I'll unplug each of the camera ribbon cables on the back of the motherboard, then I'll

  • heat up and peel back the last plastic pink layer around the front side of the camera.

  • This exposes eight more Phillips head screws. Once those are off I can remove the two black

  • plastic protective pieces. Then we get our first real good look at the camera hardware.

  • As this top portion of the phone gets motored up, we can see the camera starts flipping

  • around like some kind of rotisserie chicken. This rotation only happens at the peak of

  • extension. You can see the camera ribbon cables are actually rotating around the spindles

  • as well with the camera, getting tighter when the camera is facing the front of the phone

  • and loosening up when the camera is in it's normal rear-facing position. All of this action

  • is so that the higher-quality camera can be used on both the front and back of the phone.

  • I'll unclip each of the spindly camera connectors, remove 4 more screws, and I can pull the camera

  • skeleton away from the metal body. This gives us a better view of the gears that take the

  • upward force at the peak of the stepper motor lift and transition it into the rotisserie

  • chicken force for the pop-up camera, which gets that flippy motion. Pretty ingenious.

  • Definitely more complicated than the dual screen phone we took apart a while ago, but

  • it's still very interesting to see the camera in motion.

  • I hope you haven't gotten bored of seeing screws yet. We have 4 more left. Samsung switched

  • things up a bit with a tri-tip screw instead of a Phillips head. My tool kit does come

  • with all kinds of bits though. I'll link that down in the video description. Once the screws

  • are taken apart on both sides, the pink chicken can come apart, showing us the three different

  • cameras inside of the Galaxy A80. The 8 megapixel ultra wide camera on the left, 48 megapixel

  • main camera in the center, and a 3D depth camera on the right side next to the LED flash

  • none of which have optical image stabilization. This $500 phone has enough futuristic over-engineering

  • inside that makes it look like it belongs in a Star Wars movie. It's pretty amazing

  • what can be done with the limited space inside of a cell phone body. It takes some super

  • smart people to think these things up.

  • Getting the phone back together is easy enough. Just kidding, there are like 40-something

  • screws inside of here so it's more like a nightmare. But at least we got to see all

  • the stuff we came here for. I'll make sure the long stepper motor is secured into the

  • camera unit, and everything along the side rails is attached and screwed in. Staying

  • organized is really the key to working with all these little screws and components. One

  • sneeze and it's all over.

  • I'll get the charging port secured into place with the loudspeaker on top. Once the battery

  • is connected I can turn the phone back on to see if the motor is set right and functional.

  • I still want to see what a clear version of the A80 would look like. And there we go.

  • It's definitely still working.

  • You already know how clear phones work from my other videos so I won't bore you with the

  • details. This A80 is more one of the laminate colored pieces of glass. The kind where the

  • color pulls away in large chunks. This might look easy on camera, but since laminate is

  • not designed to peel away from the glass, it is fairly difficult and requires quite

  • a bit of force. Remember that if you ever attempt this yourself, it is very difficult.

  • The laminate also holds the glass together if it ever cracks. So my clear phones are

  • weaker than the original. Of course if Samsung did this at the factory, they could just add

  • clear laminate and be just fine. Finally, after all the curlicues of color are removed

  • from the glass, I can set it down into place. And once again, I totally think Samsung should

  • be making clear versions of this phone. With all the moving parts and even a cool copper

  • NFC coil, I think the Galaxy A80 is currently front runner for having the best looking smartphone

  • guts of the year. Let me know what you think. Would you rather have an extravagant motorized

  • camera system in your phone, or would you prefer the dual screen method to get rid of

  • the notch like we saw on the Nubia Z20? Let me know down in the comments. Either way,

  • phones this year have been pretty awesome.

  • Hit that subscribe button if you haven't already. Got a lot of videos coming for the future.

  • And come hang out with me on Instagram and Twitter. Thanks a ton for watching, I'll see

  • you around.
