One of the new members of the Galaxy A family that we saw in 2019 integrated a new dynamic in its photographic section that fascinated many and puzzled others. Yes, the Samsung Galaxy A80 and its rotating camera.
Rotating camera of Samsung Galaxy A80
Let's remember that it has 3 cameras, a 48 megapixel main sensor, an ultra-wide lens and a 3D depth sensor. All this photographic section emerges in the upper frame rotating when the front camera function is activated.
In other words, it combines several mechanisms that we have seen in emerging cameras, but with the added bonus of adding a rotary system. Samsung now explains what lies behind the dynamics offered by its rotating camera, both hardware and software.
Innovations in hardware and software
One of the problems in creating this system and making it functional was space. So they had to design a solution that allowed the sliding and rotation of the cameras to work at the same time depending on the same mechanism.
To do this, the two actions should be combined to occur at the exact moment as detailed in the image:
Another problem that the Samsung team had to overcome had to do with the functions of the camera. A detail that could not be ignored since the front and rear cameras have different functions. So they optimized the camera software so that it could deliver the best results from any perspective.
That is, the user would have a powerful combination of cameras for their photo sessions of any kind from the rear without losing the quality when taking selfies.
These applied technologies and mechanisms went through different tests before becoming the rotating camera system that we see in the Samsung Galaxy A80. We can take a look at the quality tests that Samsung performs in the following video and see the dynamics of the rotating camera in action:
