Around the back of this phone, Samsung goes for a triple-camera lens setup that includes a 13MP main sensor, a 2MP portrait camera, and a 2MP lens for macro shots. On the front, it is equipped with a 5MP camera for picturing selfies and video calls. Sadly, this phone doesn’t have a fingerprint reader or support the Face Unlock feature, so you will have to use the traditional pin / pattern authentication.
