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 flagship, 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 exploring the details further in this article!


During daylight 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 overall harmony.

Overall, the daytime photography experience with the Galaxy A72 is sure to impress, thanks to its excellent image processing algorithms and essential support from AI Scene Optimization.

With a quality 3X zoom telephoto sensor and enchanting bokeh effects, the Galaxy A72 offers magical portrait enhancements.

The 8 MP telephoto sensor is another standout feature of the Galaxy A72 compared to other Galaxy A series models, delivering decent quality even in low-light conditions.
This sensor supports optical zoom up to 3X, ensuring clear images. You also have additional digital zoom options including 4X, 10X, 20X, and up to 30X (with adjustable levels). In my opinion, the quality remains quite good even at around 10X zoom.

Capturing Bokeh Shots on Galaxy A72Macro Photography is Equally Fascinating

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

One noticeable improvement this year is that the camera focuses and locks onto subjects much quicker, especially when adjusting the distance to the object within 3-5 cm.
Impressive Wide-Angle Camera with Vibrant Colors
The 12 MP ultra-wide sensor still excels at capturing scenes that require a wide field of view, something that recent Samsung smartphones have greatly improved upon.
Wide-Angle Mode on Galaxy A72I often notice two issues with wide-angle lenses: the colors tend to be unattractive, and if not handled well, the edges can easily distort or warp.
Experience wider scenes with slightly different colors compared to the main camera on the Galaxy A72, leaning towards a bluish-green tone. Objects and edges are handled well, resulting in harmonious photos.
Galaxy A72 Excels in Night Photography
Night Shots with Galaxy A72I consider the night photography quality on the Galaxy A72 to be superior to its competitors in its price range.
When I turn on the device at night or in low-light conditions, it automatically activates Night Mode. The colors produced are still good, and the details are preserved well.
The device naturally has a dedicated night mode for photography, but you need to hold it steady for a bit to get sharp photos.
Smoother Video Recording with Optical Image Stabilization

In addition to assisting with photography, OIS also greatly improves the stability of recorded videos. I tried recording videos while running, and the difference between stabilized and unstabilized footage was significant.
Combining OIS and EIS electronic image stabilization achieves very high stability at Full HD 1080p resolution, 30 frames per second. Below is a demo video showcasing the slow-motion feature for your reference!
The video recording capability of the Galaxy A72 is outstanding in both bright and low-light conditions compared to other products in the same price range.
User-friendly Camera Interface with Integration of Exciting Features

Samsung's camera interface, since the debut of One UI, has remained consistent and user-friendly, seamlessly transitioning between frequently used modes.
Other features are grouped under a single menu, including 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 AI processes to deliver a variety of formats and engaging filters.
Previously exclusive to flagship models, Single Take's integration into mid-range devices signifies Samsung's successful democratization of this feature.
Fun Mode applies filters sourced from social media platforms like Snapchat.A new addition this year for both Galaxy A52 and A72 is the Fun Mode. It connects with filters from various social media platforms, seamlessly integrating into the Samsung camera app, offering an endless array of choices.
With so much time spent at home lately, trying out this feature has been quite entertaining!
Conclusion
In my experience, the Galaxy A72 excels in photography and videography within its price range, thanks to its optical image stabilization (OIS) system.
The device also introduces innovative photography experiences like Single Take and Fun Mode alongside traditional features such as portrait blur, wide-angle, and macro shots.
With the current trend of staying at home, young enthusiasts can consider purchasing the Galaxy A72 for an exciting shooting experience. If you're creative, you might even venture into vlogging territory!
