Samsung expected to unveil new smartphone with four cameras this yearAuthor : AZIndia News Desk
Sep 4 (AZINS) Samsung is rumoured to launch a brand new handset this year, and the most interesting feature on it will be its quad-camera setup.
According to leakster Ice universe, the company is ready to introduce a smartphone with four cameras. He tweeted, “Samsung Camera Camera Camera Camera," but added a few details when followers asked a few questions. It is believed that the new device will launch end of the year, and is not the Galaxy S10 or the company’s rumoured foldable smartphone.
2019 will mark 10 years since Samsung's first Galaxy phone -- the Samsung i7500 -- which also signaled the brand's entry into the Android smartphone market.
To celebrate the anniversary, Samsung will doubtless want to release a feature-packed Galaxy S10 to impress fans. So far, reports have suggested a triple-cam setup, two selfie cameras and 5G support. The three-camera rumours seem to be true, but DJ Koh, president of the South Korean tech giant's mobile business told journalists at the Galaxy Note 9 launch that Galaxy S10 won't be the firm's first 5G phone -- another model will take that honor.
Samsung are still determined to be the world's first vendor to launch a foldable smartphone, though. The company is rumoured to be announcing three Galaxy S10 variants -- two featuring the same screen size – of which only two will get the three-camera setup. According to the report, the main S10+ camera will have a 16MP regular snapper, a 13MP sensor with a telephoto lens, and a third cam equipped with a wide-angle lens and a 12MP sensor.
Furthermore, rumours suggest Samsung want to be the first to introduce a triple setup to a midrange smartphone, through their Galaxy A series, presumably with the A9 (2019). GSM Arena noted that if the South Korean tech giant goes down that road, it will likely unveil the phone with a 32 MP + 8 MP + 5 MP configuration. No details are known on when Samsung will introduce the Galaxy S10, Galaxy A (2019) or even the foldable phone, dubbed Galaxy X.
