Renders of a Samsung phone with a pop-up camera leak

New renders have leaked claiming to show a new mid-range Samsung phone with a pop-up camera. Samsung’s recent phones tend to have the front facing camera in either a notch or display cut-out, so the pop-up design would be a first for the company.

The closest Samsung has come to a pop-up camera design was theGalaxy A80, a phone with a rotating camera array that meant the same lenses were used even in selfie mode.

The new pop-up leak comes viaPigtouandOnLeaksand show a phone that resembles other Samsung phones from the Galaxy A series.

The rumoured device has three rear cameras next to a rear fingerprint sensor, a plain black reflective back and an approximately 6.5in display. It doesn’t have a headphone jack, something that is creeping into the mid-tier phone market having first happened to the high end.

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to keep a lot of the world on lockdown, if you’re looking to buy anew phoneyou might begin to realise you don’t necessarily need one of the most expensive. Phones like this anticipated Galaxy A are attractive given their cheaper price and, with a pop-up camera, an uninterrupted large screen for video calls and watching Netflix.
