Now, let's talk cameras.

The Samsung Galaxy A72 comes with four cameras: a 64MP main sensor, a 12MP ultra wide-angle, an 8MP telephoto and a 5MP macro camera.

For the most part, the Galaxy A72 takes really good photos. In well-lit environments, the photos came up pretty with almost perfect colour reproduction. 

However, at points where the HDR kicks in, we've had a couple of shots where everything is oversaturated; the greens are so much greener and the blue are too blue for our liking.

The oversaturation makes the photos look a tad too unrealistic.


While the Galaxy A72 is a pretty good shooter in broad daylight, it struggles quite a bit in low light conditions. During our test, pictures tend to come out a bit noisy and blurry at some parts.

The same goes for the macro and the ultrawide cameras; photos are passable, and they are nothing too shout about.

Oh, we also have to mention that when we were testing out the cameras, there was a noticeable shutter lag. After tapping on the trigger, it takes a second or two for the phone to register our input, and maybe another second for it to take the picture.

It can be a little bit frustrating if you want to take pictures of moving objects.

All these small little things will remind you that the Samsung Galaxy A72 is a budget smartphone, and it would be foolish to expect it to perform like its older brothers.
