Samsung recently introduced the Galaxy A04s to the budget segment. Priced at 3.99 million Vietnamese dong in the Vietnamese market, the Samsung Galaxy A04s has garnered attention from many consumers, with camera quality being a key area of interest.
1. Detailed Camera Setup on the Samsung Galaxy A04s
Despite being in the budget segment, Samsung has equipped the A04s with a main camera module consisting of three lenses:
- The primary camera features the ISOCELL JN1 (S5KJN1) 50MP sensor with an f/1.8 aperture and autofocus support.
- A 2MP macro camera.
- A 2MP depth sensor camera.
Moreover, the Galaxy A04s is equipped with a 5MP front camera with an f/2.2 aperture. Compared to other phones in its price range, the Galaxy A04s stands out for its impressive 50MP main camera, which undoubtedly enhances photo sharpness due to its high resolution.
Additionally, the Galaxy A04s features a user-friendly photo shooting interface familiar to Samsung users, allowing for easy switching between photo and video modes. Options such as auto HDR adjustment, color filters, and beauty mode are seamlessly integrated into the camera interface.
Samsung also provides the Galaxy A04s with a full range of shooting modes such as PRO Mode (for adjusting various professional shooting parameters), Night Mode, Video Stabilization, and more. Alongside common shooting features, the Galaxy A04s offers various functions like Deco Pic and AR Stickers for users to enjoy.
2. Assessment of Samsung Galaxy A04s Camera Image Quality
2.1 Bright Full-shot Photos
Under well-lit conditions, the Samsung Galaxy A04s camera delivers impressive photos with sharpness, true-to-life colors, and impressive contrast handling.
However, when comparing the 50MP sensor of the Galaxy A04s with other smartphones, it doesn't stand out much. This is because the Exynos 850 processor on this budget Samsung phone only supports up to 48MP cameras. Consequently, when comparing the 50MP shots of the Galaxy A04s with those of higher-end smartphones like the Vivo V23e or the OPPO A77S, they don't look as impressive.
2.2 Zoom Shots
Due to the lack of a telephoto lens, zoom shots on the Galaxy A04s are simply cropped images from the main camera. The 2X mode provides acceptable zoomed-in images, although the resolution is noticeably lower, and colors appear subdued in these zoomed shots.
2.3 Macro Photography
With only a 2MP macro camera, close-up shots on the Galaxy A04s are merely passable. The low resolution, along with poor color reproduction and focus, means users should only attempt close-up shots in well-lit conditions. Nevertheless, compared to other phones in its price range, it's adequate.
2.4 Low-Light Photography
The low-light photo quality of the Galaxy A04s is remarkably good with impressive detail, color accuracy, and excellent contrast handling. There is minimal noise in the images, and all factors are acceptable. In its segment, low-light photography is a strong point of the Galaxy A04s.
2.5 Portrait Mode Shots
Portrait shots from the Galaxy A04s yield pleasing results with sharp subject focus and natural-looking background blur. Skin tones are rendered beautifully, without any noticeable blending between the subject and the background.
2.6 Selfie Shots
Despite sporting only a 5MP front camera, the Galaxy A04s delivers impressive selfie shots with excellent sharpness, color reproduction, and contrast handling. Additionally, it features natural beauty modes, allowing users to customize according to preference.
2.7 Video Quality
The video recording quality of the Galaxy A04s camera is quite good with accurate colors and frame stability. However, its weakness lies in being limited to recording 1080p and 720p videos at 30fps.
CONCLUSION
From what has been demonstrated, it's evident that the Samsung Galaxy A04s camera not only captures impressively sharp images but also enables users to experience a variety of photography styles.
Certainly, the photo quality of this phone still has many limitations. However, undoubtedly, in the budget range of under 4 million Vietnamese dong, users will find it difficult to find a phone with a better camera than the Galaxy A04s.
