Samsung Galaxy S23 To Bring Upgraded 12MP Front-Facing Camera, An Upgrade After Three Years

Last Updated on June 22, 2022 by Mukul Sharma

Samsung started the 10MP selfie camera trend with the Samsung Galaxy S10 back in 2019. The Samsung Galaxy S10 came with an upgraded selfie snapper when compared with its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S9, which featured an 8MP front camera. However, things have been quite stagnant ever since, as the Samsung Galaxy S21 and the Samsung Galaxy S22 series devices have been making use of the same front camera, save for the Ultra variants.

Thankfully enough, this might be changing with the Samsung Galaxy S23 series, as a new report claims that Samsung might finally ditch the 10MP front camera with its upcoming flagship lineup, and make use of an upgraded sensor at the front.

Samsung Galaxy S23 To Feature A 12MP Front Camera

According to a Dutch publication named GalaxyClub, Samsung will use a 12MP front camera with the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 series of smartphones. The purported Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra might feature a better camera, but we can expect the vanilla Samsung Galaxy S23 and the Samsung Galaxy S23+ to flaunt the 12MP selfie snapper.

However, it is still not confirmed whether Samsung will place the new selfie camera inside a punch-hole as it has been doing in the past or it will finally opt for a truly-under display selfie camera. Plus, it remains to be seen whether Samsung brings about OIS support for the front cameras with the Samsung Galaxy S23 lineup. As for the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, we can expect the device to at least retain the 40MP front camera found on the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, if not upgrade it.

These are still early days to talk about the Samsung Galaxy S23 lineup, as the series will most likely launch sometime in Q1, 2023, so plenty can change in the meantime. Therefore, it is always advisable to take things with a slight grain of salt till the time things become official.
