A few days ago the specifications of the next one were leaked Galaxy A36. It is one of the most important models of the brand, since it belongs to one of the ranges of Samsungperhaps to offer an excellent balance between performance and price.
Galaxy A36, a mid-range with a very high bar to overcome
As happened with previous generations, it is very likely that we will see it on the market during the first quarter of 2025therefore, as there is not much left, it is normal that we notice a trickle of leaks on it and on the A56 which should accompany it more and more constantly.
Since in the Galaxy A35 the photographic proposal was presented as continuous compared to the previous generation but with slight improvements, we can expect the same for the next one. It is therefore not surprising that the leaks point to a configuration with a 50 Mp main sensor. There is currently no specific data on the other two sensors.
What is expected is a change in the front camera. That of the Galaxy A35, with 13 Mp, is an excellent camera, but for the next generation, everything suggests a drop in megapixels, starting to have a sensor of 12 MP.
This, which many will find disappointing this is really good news. Front cameras like the one on this model must have a very small sensor. Therefore, the more megapixels they try to offer in such a sensor, the worse the quality of photos taken with it, with worse performance especially in low light conditions.
Although this can be replaced by the pixel bining technology that we see in other smartphones or especially in the main cameras, in sensors like those of the front cameras of the Galaxy A35 and similar and for the type of photos that are usually taken with them, the effort doesn't make much sense.
What makes perfect sense is reduce the number of megapixels to provide better performance and in fact, this is not the first time that Samsung has done this: we have already seen it during the transition from Galaxy S22 Ultra to Galaxy S23 Ultra when it went from mounting 40 Mp sensors to sensors of 12 Mp, which results in a notable improvement in quality.
We'll see how these possible changes play out, but if we actually see this decrease in megapixels, once again it will show us that what's really important in a camera is not that number.
