Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy A38 5G may retain the same rear camera hardware as the Galaxy A37, with a 50-megapixel primary camera, 12-megapixel ultrawide sensor and 5-megapixel macro camera, according to a new leak.
New Delhi, October 16 — Samsung Galaxy A38 5G is expected to launch next year as the successor to the Galaxy A37 5G, but a new leak suggests the upcoming mid-range smartphone may not bring major camera hardware upgrades.
According to a report cited by Gadgets 360, the Galaxy A38 5G could retain the same triple rear camera configuration used on the Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A36.
The setup is tipped to include a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera and a 5-megapixel macro camera.
For selfies and video calls, the smartphone is expected to feature a 12-megapixel front-facing camera.
If the leak is accurate, Samsung may be focusing on improvements in image processing, software and other internal hardware rather than upgrading the physical camera sensors on the Galaxy A38 5G.
The Galaxy A38 5G is expected to launch alongside the Samsung Galaxy A58 5G.
A launch could take place around March or April 2027, although Samsung has not officially confirmed either the launch schedule or pricing.
The handset is expected to be priced above its predecessor.
For comparison, Samsung launched the Galaxy A37 5G in India in March 2026, with the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage variant priced at ₹41,999.
The Galaxy A37 features a 6.7-inch Full-HD+ Super AMOLED+ display with up to a 120Hz refresh rate.
It is powered by Samsung’s Exynos 1480 chipset and supports up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.
The current model also packs a 5,000mAh battery with 45W charging support and carries an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.
Samsung has also promised six generations of Android operating system upgrades and up to six years of security updates for the Galaxy A37.
While the Galaxy A38 camera setup may remain unchanged, details about its processor, battery, display and software improvements are expected to emerge closer to launch.
