Samsung will also bring the 108-megapixel camera to the middle class

Smartphones so 108-megapixel cameras today they are no longer surprising, but most manufacturers only offer them in flag models. Company Xiaomi however, some time ago they also brought them to the middle class and according to the portal GSMArena her South Korean competitor now wants to do the same Samsung.

The first Samsung in the middle class with a 108-megapixel sensor will be the Galaxy A73

The resolution of the main cameras is considered by most manufacturers to be a parameter that is one of the most important for the customer when choosing a smartphone. In recent years, therefore, races have started in pursuit of pixels. The value of camera resolution has now increased to 108-megapixels, and for some time it has not been the prerogative of just expensive flagships. Two years ago, Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi brought a 108-megapixel camera to the middle class.

Thanks to this, its Xiaomi Mi Note 10 model became a hit at the end of 2019. After almost two years, Samsung will join it, which has so far used 108-megapixel resolution only in the flagship Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G or Galaxy Note 20 Ultra models. Such a high-resolution camera should be given to the upcoming middle-class novelty Samsung Galaxy A73.

Portal GSMArena based on a tweet from a South Korean leaker with a twitter account @GaryeonHan. Specifically, it should be a 1 / 1.52-inch ISOCELL HM2 sensor with a pixel size of 0.7 µm. The deployment of 108-megapixel resolution in the middle class of Samsung smartphones will not be such a surprise. He recently rebuilt the 200-megapixel sensor for flagship models, and the previous generation may have a cheaper model.

The camera should also lack optical stabilization

Of course, high resolution may seem unnecessary on such a small sensor. However, for such high resolution sensors, the pixel merging method is used, in which case 9 pixels are combined into one. The resulting photo then has a resolution of 12 megapixels and, thanks to the combination of several pixels, will use even more light in poor lighting conditions.

The Samsung Galaxy A73 should also not lack the optical stabilization that was one of the advantages of the previous generation Galaxy A72. This is still not a matter of course in this class and is one of the reasons for the popularity of this model. In addition, it also offers a telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom and a waterproof IP67-certified body, which could be another advantage of the Galaxy A73.
