For a while, Samsung has been using a quad-camera setup on most of its Galaxy A series smartphones. According to a new report from South Korea, this may change starting next year. The report details the rear camera system of the three upcoming Galaxy A lineup handsets.
A report by The Elec says that Samsung will drop depth cameras from three of its Galaxy A series phones in 2023. These devices are nothing but Galaxy A24, Galaxy A34, and Galaxy A54.
The aforementioned smartphones are tipped to come with a triple camera setup consisting of a wide-angle camera, ultra-wide camera, and a macro camera. All of them are said to come with a 50MP main sensor and a 5MP macro snapper.
Interestingly, the Galaxy A54 is said to carry a 5MP ultrawide unit instead of an 8MP ultra-wide as Galaxy A34 and Galaxy A24. This is likely a typo since we don’t expect the company to use an inferior camera sensor on a more expensive model.
The report says that the South Korean electronics giant is collectively readying over 60 million units of these smartphones for next year. The Galaxy A34 is expected to release in March, followed by Galaxy A54 in April.
Market research firm TrendForce says that consumers have little use for depth-sensing cameras. Hence, Samsung is planning to drop depth cameras as it also helps in reducing costs.
It is said that the demand for a quad-camera system is forecasted to drop as companies will do away with the depth cameras on their handsets. Most phones are expected to carry a triple camera setup in the future.
