Samsung Customer Support
Dear Customer, Thank you for sharing your experience with the camera. We understand how confusing it can be to see a photo saved at 37MP when the device is advertised with a 50MP main camera. Please note that your phone does indeed have a 50MP sensor, but the resolution shown in the photo details depends on the settings chosen when capturing the image. For example, certain modes or optimizations may adjust the output size to balance quality, storage, and performance. If you’d like guidance on how to capture photos at the highest resolution and get the best performance from your camera, we kindly encourage you to contact our dedicated Samsung support team through Samsung Support. https://www.samsung.com/levant/support/ Our specialists will be happy to walk you through the settings and ensure you get the most out of your device. Your satisfaction is very important to us, and we are committed to helping you enjoy the full capabilities of your Galaxy phone.
