With optical image stabilization (OIS), the Galaxy A72 offers an exciting photography experience with various unique shooting modes.

The Galaxy A series for 2021 has evidently seen Samsung placing significant emphasis on upgrading camera quality. Among them, the Galaxy A72 stands out as the leader, bringing the latest features to the mid-range and upper mid-range segments.

The Galaxy A72 has demonstrated improved shooting stability compared to its predecessor, and additionally, other shooting modes also boast many noteworthy highlights. Join me in delving deeper into the details in this article!

During daytime conditions, the Galaxy A72 produces detailed photos with high sharpness, maintaining rich colors without being overly intense. The white balance is well-balanced, resulting in a harmonious overall look.

Overall, the daytime photo shooting experience with the Galaxy A72 is sure to impress you with its excellent image processing algorithms and the necessary support from AI Scene Optimization.

Samsung Galaxy A72 Camera Review: Shooting videos is a breeze thanks to OIS.

The presence of a good 3X zoom telephoto sensor and magical bokeh effects.

The tele 8 MP sensor is a standout feature of the Galaxy A72, setting it apart from other Galaxy A series models. It delivers fairly decent quality even in low-light conditions.

This sensor supports optical zoom up to 3X, ensuring clear images. You'll also find additional digital zoom options such as 4X, 10X, 20X, and up to 30X (with multiple adjustable levels). In my assessment, the quality at around 10X zoom is still quite satisfactory.

Switching to portrait mode, the Galaxy A72 exhibits commendable processing capabilities, effectively separating the subject from the background. While capturing individuals, there's often a risk of hair blending into the backdrop, but with the Galaxy A72, the camera manages to produce consistently satisfactory results.

Macro photography is equally captivating

The A72 continues the legacy of its predecessors by featuring a 5 MP f/2.4 macro lens. You can effortlessly capture artistic close-up shots of objects, offering a very refined perspective.

One noticeable improvement this year is the enhanced autofocus speed and accuracy, especially when adjusting the focus distance to objects within the range of 3-5 cm.

Impressive color rendition in the ultra-wide camera

The 12 MP ultra-wide sensor still excels at capturing expansive scenes, an area where recent Samsung smartphones have seen significant improvements.

When it comes to ultra-wide lenses, I usually encounter two issues: subpar color reproduction and potential distortion and aberrations along the edges if not handled properly.

With the Galaxy A72, you'll capture wider scenes with slightly different colors compared to the main camera, leaning towards a bluish-green tone. Objects and edges are handled well, resulting in harmonious images.

Night photography is effortless with the Galaxy A72

I find the quality of night photos taken with the Galaxy A72 to be superior to its competitors in the same price range.

When I turn on the device at night or in low-light conditions, it automatically activates Night Mode. The colors remain vibrant, with plenty of details retained.

The device naturally features a dedicated night mode for photography, although you need to hold steady for a moment to capture sharp images.

Smoother video recording with optical image stabilization

Aside from greatly assisting me in photo shooting, OIS also enhances the stability of the videos I capture. I tested recording videos while jogging, and the difference between stabilized and unstabilized footage is significant.

Combining OIS and EIS electronic stabilization system achieves high stability at Full HD 1080p resolution, 30 frames/s. Below is a video demo showcasing the slow-motion feature for your reference!

It's safe to say that the video recording capabilities of the Galaxy A72, both in well-lit and low-light conditions, are outstanding compared to other products in the same price range.

User-friendly camera interface, packed with numerous exciting features

Samsung's camera interface has remained consistent since the introduction of One UI, making it easy to switch between frequently used modes.

Other features are grouped together, such as AR Doodle, Food Mode, and the convenient Single Take feature, perfect for playful experimentation.

This feature allows you to capture a short snippet of images or videos, which is then processed by AI to produce various formats and interesting filters.

Previously exclusive to flagship models, Single Take is now making its way to mid-range segments, showcasing Samsung's success in implementing this feature.

A new feature added this year for both the Galaxy A52 and A72 is the Fun Mode. This feature connects with filters from social media platforms and directly integrates them into the Samsung camera app, offering countless options for you to choose from.

Lately, with so much time spent at home, trying out this feature has been quite entertaining!

Conclusion

In my experience, the Galaxy A72 excels in both photography and videography within its price range, thanks to the optical image stabilization (OIS) system.

The device also pioneers various innovative photography experiences such as Single Take and Fun Mode, alongside traditional features like portrait mode, ultra-wide angle, and macro photography.

With the current period of social distancing at home, young enthusiasts can consider purchasing the Galaxy A72 for an enjoyable photography and videography experience. With creative content creation skills, you can even become a vlogger!
