A couple of years ago, Samsung introduced the world’s first quad camera phone, the Galaxy A9 (2018), now the company is working to upload up to five cameras. It won’t be the first, that honor goes to the Nokia 9 PureView, but it’s in the A-series branding, which is often the testing ground for camera experimentation (for example, the Galaxy A80 is the first and only Samsung phone with a lift cam).
The Samsung Galaxy A72 will become the company’s first penta camera phone, reports The Elec. The module selection is a list of the common suspects: a 64 MP main camera, 12 MP ultra wide angle, 8 MP telephoto (3x zoom), 5 MP macro, and a 5 MP depth sensor.
Samsung could lift the 8 MP 3x zoom camera from the Galaxy S20 FE and add it to the Galaxy A71 camera setup, which already has the other four cameras. This would bring up OIS, which is most useful with long focal lengths.
A previous rumor already claimed that the A72 will be the first A-series phone to have Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). As for the selfie camera, there will only be one and it will have a 32 MP sensor.
The Samsung Galaxy A52 will also be part of the debut of the next-generation A-series. It is said to stick with a quad camera setup similar to the A51.
Samsung has high hopes for the A72 and A52, the report claims that combined sales are estimated at 30 million, which will be around 10% of Samsung’s total volume.
