South-Korea based popular electronics brand Samsung offers budget to premium range handsets under their Galaxy A series. And for a long time, especially in the majority of smartphones of this series, the company has been providing quad-camera setup. But now a new report claims that the camera setup of the A-series will change from next year. According to reports, depth sensors are going to be dropped from the camera system of the three upcoming handsets in this lineup.
Leaked are the camera specifications of the three new Galaxy A series phones
A recent report by South Korean publication The Elec claims that Samsung has decided to remove the depth camera from three of its Galaxy A-series phones slated for launch in 2023, and that these upcoming devices are the Galaxy A24, Galaxy A34 (Galaxy A34), and Galaxy A54 (Galaxy A54). These handsets may come with a triple camera setup consisting of a wide-angle camera, ultra-wide camera and a macro camera. And all these models are said to include a 50-megapixel primary sensor and a 5-megapixel macro snapper.
The report also mentions that the Samsung Galaxy A54 will feature a 5-megapixel ultrawide lens, while the ultrawide unit of the Galaxy A34 and Galaxy A24 phones will have a resolution of 8 megapixels. But this is probably a 'typo', as one would not naturally expect the company to use a lower quality camera sensor in their expensive model than in the less expensive model.
Also, the report revealed that the South Korean tech company has set a target of producing 60 million or 60 million units of these smartphones collectively for the coming year. The Samsung Galaxy A34 is expected to be launched in March next year, while the Galaxy A54 model could hit the market in April.
On the other hand, market research firm TrendForce reported that the depth sensing camera is rarely used by consumers. Hence, Samsung is planning to drop the depth lens from the next A-series models, which will also help reduce costs.
Notably, the demand for quad-camera systems among users is also expected to drop as smartphone companies remove depth cameras from their handsets. Most phones in the future are expected to have a triple camera setup.
