Samsung’s single-camera phone that made history

In this modern and technically developed era, where nearly every premium device features three or four camera lenses for better photographic abilities, there were some single-camera devices in the past that were able to capture outstanding quality images and make history. One of these incredible devices is Samsung’s Galaxy S9 device, launched in 2018. Let’s learn more about this incredible device.

Having various lenses in a device won’t help to make the image quality better; instead, it gives us plenty of options. For example, to capture zoom images, we can use Telephoto or Periscopic sensors; for wide-angle images, there are Ultrawide sensors, and for portrait images, the device gets a primary sensor. It indicates that a single sensor isn’t enough for better-quality images, but the Galaxy S9 denies this fact. Let’s know why?

Let us tell you, the year 2018’s Galaxy S9 device is one of the Korean firm Samsung’s high-end Galaxy smartphones. The device features a 12.2-megapixel Samsung S5K2L3 image sensor, which is obviously the device’s main camera. Informatively, this image sensor has a variable focal aperture of f/1.5-f/2.4. This incredible focal aperture gives the device the ability to capture good-quality images in low ambient light.

Now it was only a matter of one Galaxy device, but there were a few other smartphones too (besides the Samsung Galaxy), which proved that to capture better quality images, the sheer number of camera sensors really doesn’t matter.
