Camera

There is a triple camera at the back with a slightly protruding triple-camera module that holds a 13-megapixel primary camera with an f/1.8 aperture; a second 8-megapixel ultrawide camera with an f/2.2 aperture and 5-megapixel depth sensor camera with an f/2.2 aperture. The rear camera setup has autofocus. It has an 8-megapixel camera on the front for selfies, with an f/2.0 aperture.

The cameras are arranged vertically with flash at the bottom which is almost similar to that of Galaxy A50. The camera on the phone takes decent pictures during daylight but struggles slightly at low-lights. The addition of depth sensor makes the portrait shot look even more beautiful and realistic.
