Samsung Galaxy A73 to have 108 MP main camera, rumor claims

The first phone to sport a 108 MP main camera was the Xiaomi Mi Note 10, an upper-midrange offering launched in November of 2019. Since then, Xiaomi has expanded 108 MP sensors to a myriad of its products, but Samsung has so far only used this resolution for its top of the line offerings in the S and Note lines.

That could however change in the coming weeks and months, as a new rumor from the company"s home of Korea now claims that the upcoming Galaxy A73 will have a 108 MP main camera.

This would be the first time Samsung has used such a sensor in any of its mid-rangers, and has the potential to make the A73 able to compete with various Xiaomi devices better. The rumor unfortunately doesn"t specify which Samsung-made sensor will be used.

We"re going to wager a guess - that it will be the ISOCELL HM2 1/1.52" sensor also seen in the Redmi Note 10 Pro. This is the smallest 108 MP sensor Samsung"s made so far, as it comes with 0.7µm pixels. It"s fitting for a mid-range smartphone, thus. Hopefully Samsung continues the trend of putting OIS on the main cameras of its best selling A-series devices and gives the A73"s 108 MP camera the technology. In fact, the company has already been rumored to bring OIS to the entire 2022 Galaxy A lineup, so we"re hoping that rumor pans out.
