Keep in mind when we marveled at the hexa-camera
Galaxy S10 5G? Well, it was really a quad video camera kit on the back and the dual front-facing camera set, so, technically, Samsung has actually only maxed out at four rear cams so far, and one of those was a ToF sensor that cant technically be called a functional video camera you can take photos with.
The
Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, on the other hand, has “just” 3 rear video cameras, while the quad video camera tradition Samsung continued with phones like the
Galaxy S20+ (which again has a ToF sensor) and the
Galaxy A71, whose 5MP “depth” and “macro” cams round up a rather meaningless trend towards increasing the sensor count for marketing functions. That pointlessness, nevertheless, is about to change, maybe as quickly as December.
Galaxy A72 may be released as Samsungs first penta-camera phone
According to Korean media reports, the successor to what proved to be a preferred
Galaxy A71
will be called A72, and it will bring a Samsung first in the type of a penta-camera set on the back.
Heres a list of the Samsung Galaxy A72 cam specs to anticipate:
We recommend going all in, Samsung, and those of you who stopped short of purchasing the Galaxy A71 because it didnt have optical zoom, will now be given the possibility to get its follower that will have the kitchen sink of camera options..
What will the distinction be in between the existing 5MP “depth” and the ultimate 5MP “bokeh” sensing units, remains to be heard however the report is claiming that the Galaxy A72 will use the bokeh one specifically for portraits, to separate the great information of a subject front and center (i.e. the hair) from the blurred background better.
A 64MP main sensor
A 12MP ultrawide lens cam
An 8MP cam with 3x zoom lens
A 5MP macro electronic camera
A 5MP dedicated bokeh sensor
