3 cameras on the back and 1 camera on the front
The Samsung Galaxy A15 5G has the same camera as the Galaxy A15 4G, and it’s a similar kit to most of Samsung’s cameras in other affordable Galaxy A smartphones. There are his three rear cameras: 50MP primary, 5MP ultra-wide camera, and 2MP macro. The selfie camera is 13MP.

Daytime photo quality
The main camera of Galaxy A15 5G saves good photos with a default resolution of 12.5MP. It has plenty of resolution, no visible noise, and a wide dynamic range. The colors are pleasant and mostly accurate.
The photo may have been slightly over-sharpened and masked with some sort of smoothing process, but you can easily tell.

The 2x shortcut in the viewfinder only provides digital zoom.

The 5MP ultra-wide camera saves poor quality photos and is almost unusable. It has good dynamic range and pleasing colors, but has very poor detail and can be noisy at times.
ultra wide angle camera
The 2MP macro camera takes mediocre photos. Details are average, with some visible noise, but colors are OK. Of course, this is only if you can take a well-focused photo.
macro camera
The selfie camera stores excellent 13MP photos. These photos are detailed, have reasonably low noise, good dynamic range, and realistic colors.

Low light photo quality
The main camera does not save most photos at night. Resolved detail is low, dirty and noisy, and dynamic range is narrow. On the other hand, the color is good.

Night mode is available on this camera and it improves everything a lot so be sure to use it. Night mode photos are detailed and colorful with less noise and a wider dynamic range.
Main camera and night mode
Quite predictably, the ultra-wide camera saves poor quality photos at night: dark, noisy, with a very narrow dynamic range and understandably low detail.

video recording
Galaxy A15 5G captures 1080p@30fps video with primary camera, ultrawide camera, and selfie camera. Electronic image stabilization is supported on the main camera and ultra-wide camera.
Video bitrate is a decent 17Mbps at 1080p resolution. Audio is captured in stereo at 256Kbps bitrate, and all videos have good sound.
The main camera stores excellent 1080p video. These videos are detailed, have realistic colors, good dynamic range, and no visible noise. However, the production looks over-processed and somewhat artificial.
Night video is a bit underexposed, but still solid. It has good resolution, low noise, acceptable dynamic range, and good colors.
Video from the ultra-wide camera is poor day and night. Sure, if you need to fit a lot in the frame and don’t care about quality, something shot in broad daylight will probably serve the purpose, but something shot in low light won’t work.
The selfie video is surprisingly good! Highly exposed and detailed subjects are expressed with good color rendering. Dynamic range is sufficient for selfie video purposes. However, if this is stable, it is currently unusable.
