Samsung unveils Samsung Galaxy A9 with four cameras on the backside
Samsung has unveiled the new Galaxy A9 smartphone. The device has no less than four cameras on the back. This means that the device has twice as many cameras as on previous recent Galaxy phones such as the S9 and Note 9.
The Galaxy A9 will be sold for 599 euros. This makes the device more expensive than previous phones that appeared in the A line. The primary camera on the back of the phone has a resolution of 24 megapixels and an aperture of f / 1.7. The phone also has a telephoto lens that can zoom in twice, with a resolution of 10 megapixels. The 8 megapixel wide-angle lens has a wider viewing angle.
Finally, the phone has a 5-megapixel portrait lens that shoots images with a low depth of field. This only makes the subject in focus. This is useful for portraits, among other things. Smartphones are processing more and more cameras in the back of their devices. A few years ago most large companies switched to two lenses behind, for different viewing angles and higher resolution. Huawei provided its P20 Pro with three cameras.
In November, the quad-camera smartphone from Samsung has to be on store shelves in the color combinations Caviar Black, Lemonade Blue and Bubblegum Pink. The Galaxy A9 will be yours for 599 euros.

I wonder if the four cameras are anywhere near as good as a real camera for say 100$ less than this smartphone.
And I might be living behind the moon since I don't know who's behind that is. I know Drake though, but I know it from this more than himself:

Frankly I am relieved that you don't know that is Kim Kardashian's azz.
There's hope for the world yet.

I guessed it was her, but I wouldn't know or care... I'm just amazed that this is the behind that's so fabled... I guess there is some hope, but it diminishes daily... means I could probably do with less than 4 cameras on the back of my smartphone.
But now I see why they need wide angle for that format, high resolution to grab every detail of her cellulite so you can sell it to the rainbow press, one to zoom in if the walled comunity keeps you at bay, and one for getting really close (before you run away quickly again). What people do just for a bit of fame, what ends up on the TV... back in the day people would have called her fat and around here, having the behind of a post man's horse.

Only 4? Make it at least 8 or 10 and then we can talk... I know the phone market is getting saturated but this is ridiculous...

the A9 should be a hot seller.
the S9...while it's technically wonderful, it's too freaking slippery...and i wouldn't want to fumble anything that expensive with or without a case.
right now i have the LG V20 (which i love) but it's getting updated with the LG V40...
which also has the multiple cameras on both sides...but interestingly enough they're different focal lengths and can combine all of the images into a single one with or without bokeh and can give you a panorama selfie without fiddling around.
but i'm buying that phone for the audio, not the camera. the LG V series are the only audiophile phones for sale outside of Japan (Onkyo phone).

Let's say the price will be $750.
A9 Main camera = 24 m pixel.
------------------------------------------------
Small Maths:
32" LED TV Smart - $150
Nikon D3200 Digital Camera - $300
Sony PS4 - $300
------------------
Total $750

pff...a fisheye front lens for a selfie and a regular lens-cam and 2 other variation of lenses for selfies, it would be a world hit with idiots. And there are many, starting with ones that would pay over 700$ for a phone. I don't mean to offend anyone, but if you feel offended, you are welcome.

You know, If they made phone with 4 cameras on back side. I would like to have:
-> 2x regular camera for composite high IQ photos similar to iPhone.
-> 1x IR camera or close to IR which filters out otherwise visible frequencies captured by 2 regular cameras
-> 1x UV camera or close to UV which filters out otherwise visible frequencies captured by 2 regular cameras
Because if they want to sell gimmick, I want it to be interesting one which may even have some application. And I would not mind having possibility to add polarizing filter. It can be bigger circle around all cameras together, so all have same polarization. And then set of smaller ones around those 2 regular cameras, so one can have both reflection and refraction information at same time. And Big filter should be above smaller ones so all can be used at same time.
If crazy enough, they can be integrated and rotated via internal mechanism.
Gimmicks are gimmicks, but they can be really cool if someone is willing to take them through finish line.

This is just an absurd reason to release a new and more expensive phone every year.
Most people will not use all the cameras, ans most of the time the phone will ride the pocket.
Ya, two cameras made sense if you put different lenses on them. But this is just marketing gimmicks.
