Samsung Galaxy A72: Samsung is reportedly working on another A series, a successor to the Galaxy A71. Following speculations the smartphone will have a Penta- camera setup, making it the first of its kind from the stables of Samsung mobile. This development means that the Penta- camera set won’t be debuted on Samsung’s flagship phone, but on a mid-ranger. Samsung Galaxy A72 will reportedly be released in the first half of 2021.
So what are the specs for the Samsung Galaxy A72. Let’s get after it!
According to reports from— The Elec, a South Korean Publication, the Samsung Galaxy A72 will have a Penta camera setup. Still, on the report, the camera setup will feature a 64-megapixel primary shooter, an 8-megapixel telephoto camera with optical 3x room, a 5- megapixel macro camera, and a 5- megapixel depth sensor. Samsung Galaxy A72 will also include a 32-megapixel selfie front camera according to the report.
Hopefully, Samsung will bring it’s A-game on this one unlike Galaxy A71’s camera which had a 64MP primary sensor and a 12MP ultra-wide, 5 MP depth and macro cameras, yet tests revealed that the camera struggles to pick out details in low-light shots. Therefore, it isn’t just about installing a Penta camera set up on a phone, the camera should be up to standard.
