In late September, a leak revealed the camera specifications of the Galaxy A72. It mentioned that the phone will have a total of six cameras, with five of them on the back. Now another leak has surfaced and it says the phone may come with one less camera.
Vietnamese leaker, Chun, posted on Twitter that the final version of the Galaxy A72 will only have four cameras instead of five. Based on the phrasing, it appears that Samsung initially wanted four rear cameras before deciding to cut back on the number of sensors.

The new leak doesn’t say which sensor has been removed but the first leak from September says the phone has a 64MP primary camera, a 12MP ultrawide angle camera, an 8MP telephoto camera, a 5MP macro camera, and a 5MP depth sensor. If Samsung is removing a sensor, it is either the macro or depth camera. Our guess is that it is the former since the phone already has a telephoto camera, so a depth camera is redundant.

Its predecessor, the Galaxy A71 5G which launched in April has a similar camera that is a 64MP main camera, a 12MP ultrawide, a 5MP macro sensor, and a 5MP depth sensor. So a telephoto camera for the Galaxy A72 is the perfect upgrade.
There is still a lot we do not know about the phone but we expect more details will surface in the weeks leading up to its launch. Nevertheless, we have a few guesses of our own.
THe Galaxy A72 should have an Exynos processor, most likely the Exynos 1080 since its predecessor is powered by the Exynos 980. We also expect it to run Android 11 out of the box with One UI 3.0 and a battery that supports 25W fast charging.
