This year, Huawei has shown that what can be done with a triple camera system in a smartphone and the results are stunning. Next year, Samsung looks set to adopt a similar triple camera system in their Galaxy S10 according to recent rumours. Today, the camera details have been “leaked”.
Consider the following tweet with a helping of salt. It was sent by Claud Yau, a self confessed Samsung fan but little else of note with respect to Samsung. The image could well just be fan-made. The Tweet reveals the specs for the three rear cameras and can be seen below:

While the image in the tweet looks official, it’s not hard to make up a table with specs such as these within. According to the table there appears to be a variable aperture main sensor of 12MP, a 16MP wide-angled sensor and a third 13MP sensor that is of unknown type (possibly a telephoto lens). There is OIS on the first and third cameras but not the wide-angled lens.
While these figures match rumours we have seen recently, there’s little to confirm these figures, leaving them purely as speculation.
If Samsung do in fact include a triple camera setup in the Galaxy S10, it may well be the push their smartphone cameras need after languishing behind their competition this year.
How reliable is the source/leak? You did not mentioned in your article.
Are you quite sure about that? The article makes clear that the source isn’t especially reliable or renowned at all..
I guess you didn’t read the following sentence from the article – “Consider the following tweet with a helping of salt. It was sent by Claud Yau, a self confessed Samsung fan but little else of note with respect to Samsung. The image could well just be fan-made. “
“…languishing behind their competition this year.”
What? 😀
I was just thinking the same thing – my S8+ takes amazing photos, I’m sure the S9 is excellent. They’re not languishing anywhere! That said, the S10 will probably be my next shiny so good news re camera
*cough cough* Pixel 2 (and soon Pixel 3) takes better photos than iPhone X – not sure about XS/XR because none of my mate’s have been drunk enough to spend that much on a photo – and S9
Oh, and only uses 1 camera – not 3 (or in Huawei’s case 5?)
Having said that though, it does take excellent photos but it’s not the leader.
