Samsung's budget smartphone game is going strong, and the latest leaks suggest it could become stronger. New information about the upcoming Galaxy A37 and A57 mid-range smartphones suggests that Samsung is testing larger sensors, finally moving away from previous configurations.
Samsung Galaxy A37 and A57 will stick to triple cameras
The information arrives courtesy of Smartprix and suggests both devices are currently being tested with a 50 MP Sony IMX906 sensor for the primary cameras. In some regions, Samsung may use its own ISOCELL S5KGNJ sensor. These sensor uses a 1/1.56 -inch format, which is a significant increase over the 1/1.95-inch sensor found in the Galaxy A36 and A56.
