If you want high-resolution cameras while buying a Samsung smartphone today, you have to turn to one of its Galaxy A series phones. The highest-resolution camera on a Samsung phone is currently on the Galaxy A9 Star, which has a 24MP+16MP setup at the back and a 24MP selfie camera. The Galaxy A6+, meanwhile, has a 24-megapixel sensor on both the rear and front cameras. The report says that Samsung is pondering going as high as using a 40-megapixel sensor, and while that may be a substantial jump, it wouldn't be completely surprising to see on an A series device.
Of course, how much of an improvement the high-resolution cameras will bring to image quality on these Galaxy A smartphones will only be clear next year. We will also have to wait and see just how high Samsung will go with the megapixel counts. One thing is clear, though: The tradition of A series phones having better numbers than Samsung's flagships phones in the camera department is likely to continue next year.
