For the shutterbugs and selfie lovers
The Galaxy A10s houses dual-lens rear camera setup comprising a 13MP (f/1.8) primary sensor and a 2MP (f/2.4) secondary sensor to capture depth details. The main camera offers photography features such as HDR, panorama, portrait mode, and can record 1080p videos at 30fps. The handset sports an 8MP (f/2.0) selfie snapper as against the 5MP front-facing shooter which we saw on Galaxy A10.
