Each of these cameras performs a specific function. The 24 MP camera has an open lens and is ideal for dimly lit environments. The 5 MP camera lens detects depth and is used to generate images in portrait mode. Finally, the 8-megapixel sensor has a wide-angle lens for more open panoramas. For selfies, the Galaxy A7 offers a 24 megapixel camera.
According to product manager, Renato Citrini, the user can only choose between the 24 megapixel camera and the 8 megapixel camera. Meanwhile, the 5 megapixel camera acts as a help to create the effect of blur.
The Galaxy A8 Plus, on the other hand, only has a 16 megapixel rear camera (f / 1.7). The differential, however, is due to the dual front camera, 16 and 8 megapixel (f / 1.9), with the Portrait mode. The rear camera and the front group have both produced high quality photos during the TechTudo exam.
