Samsung Galaxy A72

📅 2021 📷 64 MP 🔭 3x tele 🎬 4K30
from $449

📖 Overview

The Galaxy A72 anchors a versatile quad-camera setup around a 64MP f/1.8 main sensor (1/1.7") with optical image stabilization, paired with a 12MP ultrawide and a genuine 8MP 3x telephoto that also gets OIS — unusual reach for a 2021 mid-ranger. Its Super AMOLED 6.7" 90Hz panel and 32MP front camera round out a capable everyday shooter, though video tops out at 4K30 with no 60fps 4K or log profile. RAW capture is supported via Samsung's Expert RAW/Pro mode, but the Snapdragon 720G keeps it firmly in the budget-imaging tier.
