According to numerous tech channels, the Korean manufacturer's most-sold Galaxy A53 model is soon getting succeeded with the Samsung Galaxy A54. And ahead of its launch, some details have surfaced online, revealing unlikely changes. The camera hardware is one of them.
Latest reports say that the follow-up to the Samsung Galaxy A53 plans to downgrade the camera from 64MP to 50MP, which is a surprising move from the Korean chain. To jog the memory, Samsung has used a 64MP primary camera for the past two generations of this lineup.
The market is blooming with 50MP mid-range smartphones, and it is unclear how the next-gen A-series phone will stand out. While Samsung hasn't revealed details about the camera hardware, this phone's 50MP camera will likely use a flagship sensor rather than the scrappy 50MPs we've seen on many budget phones this year.
Besides shifting to a lower-pixel count, the phone is also ditching the depth-of-field camera. However, this change is not exclusive to the Galaxy A54; other Samsung A new model phones will also ditch this sensor since the brand's whole camera paradigm is shifting from quads to triple-camera setups.
Additionally, by the time Galaxy A54 breaks free, Android 13 will be out. So chances are, this phone will run Android 13 x OneUI 5. Other than cameras, most hardware features could align with parent A53.
To recall, A53 features a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and Gorilla Glass 5 protection. Inside, the phone boasts a 5nm Exynos 1280 chip with 8GB RAM. The Samsung Galaxy A54's predecessor routes the power from a 5000mAh cell recharging via 33W fast charging brick. There's an under-display fingerprint scanner. It discards the 3.5mm audio jack for better water resistance.
