The upcoming Galaxy A52 and Galaxy 72 are expected to be the next best-selling smartphones from Samsung. Both these handsets have been leaked once in the past few days. The reports were regarding their cameras. Now, once again, another report from South Korea says that Samsung Electro-Mechanics will be supplying camera modules for the main cameras on these two phones.

According to previous reports, the Galaxy A 52 is said to come with a 64MP quad-camera setup. On the other hand, the Galaxy A72 will be Samsung’s first smartphone with a penta-camera setup. It will also have a 64MP primary sensor and also an 8MP sensor with a 3x telephoto lens. You can learn more about them from here.

Now, a new report by The Elec says that Samsung Electro-Mechanics has won the deal to supply camera modules for the primary (main) cameras on the above-mentioned smartphones. 

This is expected to intensify the competition between other camera module makers in South Korea. That’s because Samsung is reported to launch more multi-camera setup handsets in the coming months. Additionally, some of the high-end Galaxy A series phones are also said to come with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization).

Samsung has been lately focussing more on mid-range smartphones as the Galaxy S20 series did not sell well on account of higher price tags and pandemic. Samsung Electro-Mechanics is known for supplying camera modules for high-end devices but given the current situation, the company announced its plans to enter the mid-range market in July.

Samsung is known to introduce new features in its Galaxy A series before adopting them for its mainstream smartphones – Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series. Hence, the world’s, as well as the company’s first quad-camera smartphone was the Galaxy A9 (2018). Now, according to a new report, the South Korean tech giant will launch Galaxy A72 in the first half of 2021 as its first penta-camera handset.

Currently, there are only a few smartphones with a penta-camera setup (5 cameras) from the likes of Xiaomi and Huawei. But that will change next year, according to a report by The Elec (via Abhishek Yadav).

The publication says that Samsung will not only launch Galaxy A72 equipped with a penta-camera setup but the overall camera modules included in per Galaxy smartphone will increase in the coming year.

Above all, the report also details the entire camera setup of the upcoming Galaxy A72.

• Rear Camer Setup

• Front Camera Setup

The five-camera setup that will be included with the Galaxy A72 seems to be impressive (at least on paper), sans the depth sensor. The new module in its setup (compared to Galaxy A71) is the 3x optical zoom camera from the Galaxy S20 series. Therefore, this forthcoming smartphone will be the first mid-range Galaxy device to come with such a camera.

That said, the report does not mention anything else about this handset apart from its cameras. Nevertheless, we expect it to arrive with a similar design as its predecessors with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and 5G connectivity.
