From CNET: Samsung's first triple-camera phone is ready for its close-up, err ultra-wide angle.
The Korean electronics giant late Wednesday unveiled its latest Galaxy A7, a midrange smartphone with a rear triple camera that features a trio of settings, one of which is an 8-megapixel 120-degree option. The triple camera offering had been rumored to be a major feature of next year's Galaxy S10 Plus.
The new handset's camera also sports a 25-megapixel regular lens and a 5-megapixel Depth Lens that lets users control the depth of field and adjust the bokeh effect that adds that blur image to the surroundings of the image's subject. The 24-megapixel lens also promises crisp images in low-light circumstances by combining 4 pixels into 1 pixel.
Phones with triple cameras are pretty rare. The Huawei P20 Pro has three cameras on the back, offering some quality faraway and hi-res shots. Samsung Mobile President DJ Koh said earlier this month that the company would bring more cutting-edge features to the company's midrange phones. The Galaxy A7 -- a brand Samsung recycles every year -- appears to be the first handset to deliver on that promise.
The Galaxy A7 also has another 24-megapixel camera on the front of the handset with an adjustable LED flash.
The handset sports a 6-inch Super AMOLED display, a side fingerprint sensor and the Dolby Atmos sound system. It will also come preloaded with Samsung's Bixby virtual voice assistant, Samsung Pay and Samsung Health.
