The BenQ S80 is a 2005 model mobile phone. PCmag reviews the BenQ S80 and writes, ‘The S80 improves over the S70 several ways. It boosts the sensor to 8.0 megapixels from 7.1, while also improving video features considerably. You can shoot at 30 frames per second instead of 10 and save until you fill the memory card, giving you much smoother, longer clips. And where the S70 has only a 1.8-inch LCD, the S80 has a beautiful 2.5-inch screen. The larger display makes images viewed on the camera look simply stunning. Canon also kept the glass viewfinder—a feature many manufacturers seem to be eliminating.”

MobileMag writes about BenQ S80 and notes, “The S80 is not destined to be limited to the South Asian countries only as it has already been approved by several European Mobile Operators. However, acceptance of a fully Taiwanese phone remains to be seen. Furthermore, since the phone has just been launched, customer feedback has yet to make its way to the market. Needless to say, BenQ is going to market the S80 vigorously in all accepted markets in order to build both the company image as well as the revenues. ”
